Hi All,

I am new to all of this, after 12 months of considering WLS I went and seen a surgeon and after 2 weeks was in having the op, being the 23rd of January 17. Im now 3 days Post Op and had been looking for support groups or just anyone who needs support along the journey

Thank you @Berry78. Theres not much of a wait list here in Hobart. Also my surgeon had no requirements to do a liquid diet first. No idea why not :-/

Perth here and had my sleeve dec 5th 16....

I originally asked for the sleeve but the surgeon said no because I have a long history of eating disorders
