There are a series of steps that each patient has to take before surgery:
Usually 2 medical/surgical appointments and 1 dietician appointment are required before surgery, however some patients schedule potential theatre dates after their first appointment.
Access to funds (insurance, super, paying directly).
2 – 3 weeks of Optifast to minimise liver size to make surgery safer.
Once the above have been resolved, surgery could be booked within a few weeks depending on your chosen surgeon, for example Dr Yee or Dr Maani can facilitate surgery for patients with minimal wait times.
