  22. Anyone from Melbourne Australia?
  23. Hi Janet, Unfortunately here in Australia if you select to go on the public health systems elective surgery waiting list its free! BUT you have to be willing to wait 4/5 years. I waited 5 years and just when my name came up, bang! covid hit the scene, so had another 2 and half years added to the wait time,you can imagine my excitement risen so high and then comes crashing down twice. I'm too a pasta person and pataoes oh my lol but my number one go-to had always been crusty bread and butter on top with coffee lol hence why I reached my peak at 240lbs lol Well it's never too late for anything I'm still grateful for our public health system for providing free surgeries for it's citizens (although it's a fair wait lol) Thank you ? And best of luck to you too??
  24. Oh my ? Hope your feeling ok? And thank you for sharing this as it gives us something to be mindfull of.
  25. Hi Janet I've been rescheduled twice already due to covid cases my 3rd scheduled date is the 27th of June and I think I've now become immune to the excitement and enxiety of the "big day" lol I'm now just in waiting mode to see if it will happen on the proposed day[emoji4] Sending you lots of luck and hugs for your surgery day[emoji847][emoji847][emoji847]
