He was okay...i didn't interact with him much.. he did my initial lapband surgery and then he left the clinic... so i was transferred to my current surgeon who looked after me after my band.. and he also just did my sleeve 6 weeks ago...

You should be okay....and mater is a good hospital so aftercare should be good...

How are you doing though? Nervous as hell i bet lol

What!! Thats crazy expensive!!

Is that out of pocket or with health insurance??

I was quoted 21k without insurance and 6k with, that includes everything, surgeon and hospital and anesthesiologist.

Who is the surgeon? What hospital?

Oops and a bad typer. I am a South Aussie scheduled for sleeve 21 July. My out of pocket will be about 3K. So excited, but little nervous. Nice to find some other Aussies about to do the same.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
