RECONSTRUCTION

Hey Louise, yes, I had my surgery at petermac, they told me,, (was your surgeon from Tas skinny blonde, Chantelle) she did my 1st mastectomy,,, they told me they could do that op while they did the mastectomy, but the radiation 'could' destroy the job,, at the time I felt like they were  Centrelink-Giving you choices,,NOT! lol,, It took me 6mnths to get the 1st appointment with their surgeon which had to be followed up by a see you after xmas around Easter, another 7 mnths to ensure I still wanted it!! They did my head in..

So  i went and took out just Hospital, $98 pm with ahm ,, knowing full well that the waiting list here in Tassie was well into 3yrs and more and petermac were saying 2 more realistically 3-4yrs. Ive done it had and still am financilly, but i couldnt wait here forever!And with my excess being $500 for the year, Ive already had 2 weeks in there,, the hospital was the dearest part of it all, around $900 per day!! Ridiculous,,and once again, my beef with the BCN for not telling more info on this FACT.

I didnt like what they offered either, the TramFlap,, showed me photos and I freaked out, thank goodness I saw them as it made up my mind NOT to go there. Until I came to Tas I had not heard of Ext Obl either, , I met a young gurl who had had it done and the scars were awesome, after only 3-4mnths. Mine (where there are no probs, see other post) are settling down nicely as well.

So what is in Sydney for you Louise? Faster system? I hope it all goes well for you and will let you know how this goes once we get rid of the bugs, lol

peace and light
