Aussie reconstructive surgery & medical insurance cover



Recommended Posts

Hello,

Need some advice i am nearly at goal weight and will need what i hope will be classed as reconstructive surgery!:biggrin:

fingers crossed on that one but if any of you have any ideas let me know!

I believe Dr Coc kburn at the Wesley is a good surgeon....

My biggest question is through our company we can choose the insurance company...

Can anyone suggest the better insurer to go with?

Thanks for the help!

Cheers

Tricia :)

Called Dr Coc kburns office on Wednesday they had a cancellaton for next Wednesday!

>>>>>>>omg<<<<<<<<

Lol fingers crossed... let the reconstuction begin!

So sweet... my eldest child (Mat 24yrs) has offered to pay for the surgery if i need it..

Keep getting emotional as it has taken me years to make this decision....fingers crossed it will be classed as reconstructive surgery!

Come on heat rash lol

Cheers

Dr Cockburn is fantastic he did my Tummy Tuck and removed skin from my legs (2 surgeries) one hint though, his name is pronounced CO Burn not COCKburn lol a mistake i made :-)

Dr Cockburn can help with your insurance questions, for me it was around 3 years ago so i can't really help with that one but i don't believe it is considered reconstructive because it is something you can live with but you usually get it removed for cosmetic purposes

hope this has helped

omg i see Dr Duncombe 2, she is the one who referred me! The legs i am not entirely happy with because he does not lift the skin only tightens it around the leg....hope u know what i mean! anyway the recovery was harder with the legs as they are more prone to infection and i made the mistake of sitting down after having them done too quickly and it kills!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
