Australia - Melbourne

Hi Everyone

I am from Melbourne and am starting a support group.

Sometimes you can feel alone not knowing many or any other people that have had weight loss surgery, and there are always so many questions that we have and support that we need.

Sometimes it helps just to talk to someone that can relate to you

I would love to hear from others in Melbourne, Victoria that are interested in this support group.

Hope to hear from you soon

Leanne

Oops hit send a bit too early lol. Is the brand name frackers? I might have to see who stocks here in Aus. They sound like they could be a goer. Make sure you rest up on weekend and don't over do it because you could make it worse!

That's awesome! I'll never be super skinny but aiming for size 14 up top and 16 down below. I see my surgeon end of February and if I'm still doing well he's going to refer me to a plastic surgeon woohoo!

Don't get me wrong I'm not skinny I feel a lot smaller but I will never be super skinny either but I'm happy with that

I won't need any plastics I had a tummy tuck years ago so have never had a big tummy even at my largest.

Edited by Shell ????

Ah I'm gonna need the works but as my surgeon said, no matter how much effort I could put in at the gym the reality is I'll be at least 60kg down by the time I have surgery & there will be excess skin as a result of such huge weight loss
