Hi Trish,
Just reading this now. I also live in Shdney and want a double DIEP reconstruction. I saw Dr Lam at the SAN who does the op at both hospitals. About $18K in gap expenses as a private patient or 18 months wait as a public patient as he only does one a month.
I'm going with Dr Pennington who now works from Strathfield Private or Macquarie Uni Hospital. My date is August. Quite a wait as I saw him early this year. He only does one DIEP a week as its such a big op. I went to see him in Macquarie St on Chris' recommendation and am so glad I did. He put me at ease immediately and I have total confidence in him. He's very nice!
Hope this helps. Or have you already had the op? I haven't finished reading this thread!
