Sarah.R 2 Posted June 9, 2008 Yay for Aussies! How long have you been banded? Who's your surgeon? And what side of town? I'm in Indooroopilly. Lol, I'm not banded yet =( my surgeon says I'm category 2 so that's 3-6 months which isn't too long to wait, I'm on the south east side (think manly, ormiston, cleveland.) And my surgeon is a new one at the wesley although I'm not actually being banded at the wesley, confusing right? Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anniedub 0 Posted June 10, 2008 Lol, I'm not banded yet =( my surgeon says I'm category 2 so that's 3-6 months which isn't too long to wait, I'm on the south east side (think manly, ormiston, cleveland.) And my surgeon is a new one at the wesley although I'm not actually being banded at the wesley, confusing right? Lol So are you going through the public system? If you're "category 2" with a waiting period... I've never heard any of that before! Is your surgery covered by medicare? Maybe the surgeon's just using some crazy new terminology Are you excited? It's great to know that you're on LBT, getting all the info. I wish i'd found this site when I was still making up my mind, it would have made things a lot easier! I only found LBT 2 days before my surgery! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarah.R 2 Posted June 10, 2008 Yep I'm going through the public system - most people have to wait 10 years before they even get a date - I only have to wait basically 6 months - lucky right? I suppose it's covered by medicare, I'm not paying anything, well I had to pay to see the dietician at the wesley and my surgeons nurse but thats only $100 which isn't too bad - I'm definetly asking next time I go though if I can get a rebate because otherwise I'm going to have to pay for all my fills and I can't afford that. I guess I'm kinda lucky in a way that the public system is willing to pay for me and because I'm so young, not alot of people can get away with that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
