    Hi all,
    My names Belinda, i have been banded 7 years and due to several complications i have decided to get the sleeve. I am currently looking for a surgeon and because i dont have health insurance i will be paying the full cost of the surgery.
    I am looking for any surgeons in qld who do the surgery and if you know how much they charge that would be a huge help!
    I have found a great surgeon who charges $12,000 which i thought was perty good, what do you think? I have dealt with him for my band and he is very good.

    Any help appreciated
    Thanks

    Belinda

    Hi Belinda,
    I don't know how much he charges but Dr Daoud http://www.queenslandobesitycentre.com.au/ is a good surgeon - he firstly repaired my band, then removed it when it was still slipping and he's just done an RNY for me.  His rooms are at Greenslopes but he operates at Sunnybank now.

    Belinda,

    Dr Daoud was my surgeon too, he is great.  I am not sure what the out of pokets for you would be, but Marlene from his office will tell you.

    Hi Belinda

     

    My name is Cathy.  I had a sleeve in Oct ’07 revised to a RNY in May ’08.

    My surgeon is Phil Lockie in Brisbane. He also consults in Ipswich if that’s near you.

    PM me if you’d like his details.

    He’s a great surgeon!
