Best to ring and ask each one what there hospital cover covers. Personally I m with people care n ive had no issues
I’m with Medibank private and have had no issues at all. I can recommend my surgeon highly but I’m in Tasmania so you probably don’t want to travel down here!
Nib covered my whole $13,000.00 hospital stay fee. I can recommend my surgeon. I am in Sydney, where are you Sherin ?
I’m in Sydney
Sherin my plastic surgeon is Dr. Jeremy Hunt. His office is in Edgecliff and does his surgery at Prince of Wales Private hospital.
Medibank, I found it was the most upfront with what it covered, there weren’t any hidden fees
Miranda I got back $1300.00 from NIB.
Is that just from nib or does that include the medicare refund aswell?
no, i only got anoter $366.00 from medicare
I’m with medibank and was very happy
So how long do you have the private health cover to have it done?
Normally a year Michelle.
Oh bugger that I’ll just pay the full price.
If paying for it yourself just be aware that the hospital costs are phenomenal! I got an email from Medibank telling me how much my recent 4 day stay for arm and leg lifts was…..$7854! Based on that info my tummy tuck hospital costs would have been $59000 ( admittedly I had extended stay and readmissions). I had 15 days for initial tummy tuck surgery then was re admitted for a week two weeks after discharge, then 3 months later another week for seroma surgical draining
I’m getting a tummy tuck breast aug and been quoted roughly 20000. Does that sound about right?
Are you having a breast lift with your Aug? Any Lipo?
does that include hospital or is that just from the surgeon Michelle Smith? I know my surgeon didn’t include aneathetist or hospital charges in his quote
Sounds a bit pricey to me
no implants, I had a lift with reduction
No that was everything as far as I know. I have an appointment this week and an appointment with a different surgeon in a few weeks. But I reckon I’ll be goin with the second one
Wow! So perky and perfectly shaped
Are you staying in hospital? Because that cost will be on top of your quote if your health fund doesn’t cover. Just make sure of all of that.
I’m so happy with them Tracey , he did an amazing job. have you seen my before and afters?
As Miranda said I’d double check that the hospital stay is included as generally the surgeon’s don’t include that or the anesthetist costs.
No, my anaes cost was another $4k, and hospital would have been another $13k if my fund didn’t cover it.
I don’t have private health insurance. But the quotes I got they knew that. They said that was after my medicate rebates. Who knows I’m confused now
Please make sure you know the hospital fees and anaes. They can be quite a rude shock lol
Just give them a call and ask if the quote included hospital costs and aneathetist. Best to know 100% what you are up for as if paying for it yourself it’s a lot of money to find!
Yeah now I’m a bit stressed because I only have $20000
Sorry to cause stress… just double check so you know for sure! Then as sad as it would feel if you need to the worst case scenario is sign up for private health and wait the 12 months. It would feel horrendous now but the time really does fly by… look how quick this year seems to have gone… it seems like yesterday it was Christmas and here it is August already!
Or could you maybe get a loan for the rest?
The 20 I have is already from a loan
For the first time since my tummy tuck op my floppy part on my belly has gone down a little.
I’m not sure why but I changed 2 things today.
I decided to stop having my protein shake in the morning and went back to my Greek yoghurt and frozen mango smoothie for breakfast that was one change.
I was told the protein shakes may bloat me which might make my belly look more swollen.
The second thing I did different was I went to the gym twice today. This morning I went just on the treadmill and this afternoon I went on machines. I gave the stomach crunch machine a go.
I couldn’t do many as when I straightened up it didn’t feel right so I didn’t use the machine perfectly but maybe it helped flatten my puffy part some how lol!
Anyway no gym tomorrow so just drink… Will see what it looks like at the end of the day.
That’s good but I didn’t know you had a puffy part?
I can’t wait to see Dr L in 2weeks & get the all clear for ab work, I’m 13weeks 2days after tummy tuck, hopefully we are all able to get back to complete exercising again really soon
Step I have a puffy part from when I got fluid.
Was told when I have my review that if I’m not happy and it’s still there Dr Lawrence will redo it as she won’t be happy.
Julia I’m still hard in places so not sure when that goes soft.
Oh ok then well that’s good to know she’s got it if it doesn’t 100% go away
