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.
