| Im SUPER excited!! I saw the surgeon today. He is lovely! He said he would do the sleeve for me and I love his approach. Easy to talk to, answers questions and dosnt rush you out the door! He even bulk billed my appointment! Also, his fee is sooo within reach. What a find! I have to make appointment with dietitian and go through my pre op diet and see him one more time to eck out the finer points and its all go!!! The future looks thin! (ish). | |

| Hi, saw my GP today and have the referral for Dr M Donovan..... 28 days to go till my appointment. Im becoming more and more accepting of what I have to do to get to where I want to be and am confident that this is the right path to take. My GP said I have to do something big to make a difference cos nothing has worked so far.... he is behind me 100%.
I am thinking...this time next year... Ill be buying clothes off the rack in the size 16 and under.
Cheers, Rita | |

| Hi rita
I am another Justin Greenslades girl. He is a fantastic Surgeon, but if you can find someone closer to home that would even be better.
I live on the Gold Coast and commute to see Justin. 2 sleeps in hospital for Sleeve...., he will let you go home on the train if you ask him.
Another helpful hint he has a female anetheatist called Lorraine she charges $450.00 thats better than payting $1200......
Bulk bills all follow up appointments.
Good luck

| I got some fantastic information from Dr Greenslades office, veryu detailed..... Im finding the travel arrangements to be somewhat hard to sort out for him, so Dr M Donovan in Nambour is an option.... has anyone used him or know of him...I would really really appreciate some feedback about this doctor..... thanks all! | |

| how many days in hospital for sleeve surgery or even bypass???..... I can always get train/bus down and ask for an extra night in the hospital if surgery is very early in the day and my husband can pick me up with the car and bring me home..... | |
