Hi Pumpkin

I had a Lap and Hysto through Mercy Hospital as a Public Patient, in Heidelberg, referred by my private FS. Funnily enough the procedure was done by a FS who later did a FET for me at our IVF Clinic.

I only had to wait 4 months, and mine was exploritory (sp) . They were fantastic and I didnt have to pay a cent which was a nice change.

I know where Yarraville is, your FS might suggest the RWH in Carlton, if the wait is long there, ring Mercy as well.

The recovery for each patient is very different, I didnt find it too bad

Good Luck
