So, good news! Talked to my surgeon's office today... so apparently my surgeon has decided to perform my surgery in a public hospital instead of a private one due to greater availability of better bariatric medical equipment and better resources. Apparently this means I will pay nothing out of pocket, which would be amazing. Generally the wait to have surgery through the public system is 3-5 years, which is why we were going to do it privately, but the office manager for my surgeon (who is pretty wonderful, btw) said they should HOPEFULLY be able to schedule me for just a couple of months out. Prof. Nottle will take my paperwork into the hospital after he returns from his holiday in mid-January, and they should be able to give me a definitive date then. I'm not sure how it's possible for them to get me in that quickly... maybe because of my size/health issues they can get me in faster, I don't know. Maybe @Parousia could explain better than I am if she sees this since she knows the system better, heh.
