  • I didnt have to do it either Mandy. Had no meds to take pre op, then had the heparin inj (Clexane) the day of sugery and the 2 days after whilst I was still in hospital.

  • oh my goodness, that seems very expensive. If I had to pay the full cost here it would be $17150, its a fixed cost, but my insurance is paying it so I dont have to. Thats for a standard 2 nights in a private hospital. And thats NZ dollars, converted to US dollars it would be $13905.22 US. That cost is also for a very…
