Looks like it's been a while since the Australian sub-forum was posted in. Thought it would be interesting to see how many Australians are out there and what state/territory you live, where you are from, and whatever else you are happy to share.

I come from a large family, and of the immediate family I am pretty much the only who is overweight.

I live in NSW, pretty close to Windsor actually. Do you have a surgeon you're thinking about going with?

My whole family is pretty much varying degrees of overweight. When I was younger, all my siblings were like twigs and I was the big one. Now everyone's metabolism has caught up to them.

Hi Nicole. I am going with Dr Adrian Sartoretto from the BMI Clinic.

Who did you go with? Hope your post op progress is going well!

Hello I’m in Canberra. I was the skinny one in the family til about 10 years ago when the weight increase started. I’m scheduled for the 4/6 and have started the pro-op diet today to reduce my liver size

Do you have your procedure dates?

I went with Michael Talbot. You don't get much face-time with him, but his staff are all really good. Especially his nurse Patricia.

Progress is going alright. Mine was a revision from lapband so my weightloss is probably going to be slower. But so far I'm really pleased. Start a new job this Friday and they were able to get me in for surgery with enough time to recover so I'm very happy.
