Hi Matea,

I think that's roughly what I was quoted (in 2003 so I can't really remember).

I had extensive endo and the op blew out to about 4 - 5 hours (I think, again memory not too great). I was in hospital for 4 days as the op was done in Sydney, but i was recovering at my mum's 2 hrs away and they didn't want me to travel before then, given the amount of work I'd had done. All this greatly increased the costs as it mean surgeon and aneasthetist were working on me for much longer than expected and I was in hospital for an extra 3 days.

I had 2 weeks off after the op and needed every day of it.
