November 2008: Fed Up

In about November 2008 I got REALLY fed up with having huge melons. So I decided to make an appointment to see a specialist. I found the best one I could, and one who could do the op on Medicare with no cost to me.

I found out that, even though I have medical reasons for this operation, my medical fund won't pay the full amount, and I'd be out of pocket between $3,000 and $6,000, depending on the surgeon. 

So I was very pleased when a well known surgeon agreed to take me on under the public health system. He's experienced in many areas, including all kinds of plastic surgery and burns surgery. He trained in Edinburgh, Scotland. I believe the very best surgeons come from there.
