Smile I did it, I did it

I have got my referral from my Doctor, and I have chosen a surgeon.
Lucky for me he can see me in 3 weeks time for my pre op consultation, and meeting with the pyschologist and nutricionist.

As I do not have medical insurance and I do not qualify for govt assistance for this surgery it will cost me about $20000 all up. (NZ dollars) Although my surgeon is trying to push for more funding for these ops.
Funding for obesity surgery urged - Readers Reporter - Waikato Times


I am so excited. I can wait to see him and get this ball rolling.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.
