Gastric Sleeve Sandy Thursday, 7 April 2011

Went to the hairdresser today, now, don't be afraid, I like it!



And I was searching for some old photos and found this taken at a Taylor Swift concert with my friend Sharlene, Febuary 2010....FAT! My head must be thrice as big (could be more but any excuse to use the word "thrice")

Posted by Picasa5 Incisions 9 months on. You can't see the one between the boobs at all. I'm a slow, slow healer, I have scars everywhere but I measured my middle incision and it's exactly 2cm long.....nothing!




Here's a pic a couple of weeks after surgery

I just had the most bizarre appointment with the anesthetist. I received a bill for $1500 and apparently PCI pay around $500 so you're out of pocket $1000. The letter said if you have a post-op appointment it will reduce the bill by 70% (or thereabouts). So, I just had a 30second appointment, paid $401 and they sent the rest of the bill to HCF for the remainder. Not too much effort for a $600 saving. I just think it's totally bizarre and now I'm off to spend my $600!

I just took my surgery receipt for $4500 into Medicare and received a $918.75 refund and $306.20 from HCF...not bad.  It's a shame the Anesthesiologist's gap is $1000 or else I'd be spending! Although I know he's totally worth his fee.... just saying, that's all.
