    Smile This is it...

    I am terrible at this sort of posts. I would prefer to remain anonymous, at least for now, but thought I would introduce myself as best as I can to at least get the ball rolling.

    Overweight for all my life (I'm early 30s) I have been researching, on and off, bariatric surgery for close to 5 years now. An article in a trashy women's magazine that I happened to peruse whilst on holidays over Christmas was what made me finally sit down and honestly assess my situation.

    So I made my appointment with the doc, got a referral and met with the clinic last week. BOOM. I have paperwork to submit to see if I can access some funds from my superannuation to cover the surgery as my PHI won't cover it all. I'm nervous about the next step (meeting with the physician) but I am excited about what the future may hold for me.

    I'm in Melbourne, Australia and I'm a mum to 4. The time has come for me to be me.

    Thanks Siljon. I've browsed the forum and I am trying to soak in as much as I can - it is very reassuring knowing that I'm not the only one out there going through this
