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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
