As it would be close for us, if it's done after the medical would we have to tell them ?

Would suggest allowing 1 month before meds.
Alternatively I think they give you a free radio in India

I was thinking more along the lines of the fact that it might be seen as an opertaion with potential complications etc and whether they would want us to wait for a bit to see if any complications arose

Blimey, I didn't know there was more than one way but judging by the size they went he must have used a blunt instrument :scared:
No safety net either

Alternatively is this something he'd be able to have done free on medicare in Oz ? (Just in case I don't manage to 'persuade' him in time ?)
Thanks - Heather

I currently have the jab which is fab (although couldn't continue forever) but if I have to start paying for it it's making me rethink my options

You can get it on Medicare in Australia, unless you've had a hystorectomy or been sterilized.
i.e. if it's for contraception it's on Medicare, if it is to control heavy periods it isn't.

I had mine done just before coming to Oz, while the doc was hacking away I was chatting to the nurse about moving to Oz upon which she remarked "Oh it must take a lot of balls to do something like that" my response was that I no longer had the same amount of balls..................
Everone started laughing including the doc with the big knife in one hand and my balls in the other - great moment................. and 100% true.
