Hi Renee,

I was banded by Dr Kevin Dolan just last Friday at Glengarry hospital. His private rooms are at Joondalup hospital. He charges $1000 1 month prior to procedure and the gap for the anaesthetist is 200 apart from some small fees for the ultrasound and dietician, medibank covers the rest. Hope this helps. He asks you to have one week of work.

Regards

Deb

I was banded by Steve Watson, who consults out of SJOG Murdoch. I am with HBF so don't know what your fund covers but I paid $1900 for the op, nothing for anaethetist (completely covered) and about $130 for the hospital (mostly pharmacy though).

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
