Mum-of-five - The surgeon's practice is on Wickham Tce and his name is David Theile, his wife is the news reader Marie Louise Theile that used to be on ten. He was brilliant. A friend of mine had hers done there too and was stoked with him.
The surgery took place at the PA. He was so funny, I kept telling him to put my belly button back on straight and he rang my DF when I was in recovery and told him that I would be pleased with my belly button LOL..
I have seen him about having my boobs done as well and can't wait to go ahead with it.
Mine was about 5 years ago and only cost around $4500, would have to check my stuff, but it was definately not over $5K. I did get a rebate from medicare for the anethatist fee and I only stayed 1 night in hossie but really should have stayed another 2, which would add another $1K per night I think. I didn't have private cover, not that they cover the op anyways.
The price really varied when I started looking too.
Another friend of mine got sucked into a heap of lipo on one of those interest free loan things and it was sooooo expensive. She is a single mum and really got suckered badly and is still paying the stupid thing off.
Some places I called sounded so dodgy but the minute I saw this fellow I knew he was the one even though I hadn't had a visit with anyone else.
My mum's total surgery was $16k, and just over $10k of that was the tummy tuck. The rest was lipo. She does have private cover, but didn't get a great deal back.
