Newbie from just Outta Perth WA

Thanks Heaps Btgirl

Have set date, long wait but time to get paperwork done and the quietest time at work.

Welcome Tarnie, all the best with your appointment, there is so much information here, and ask lots of questions.
Love Btgirl

Thanks lovelies...
Doc tomoz to do some more forms and get the referral as I've decided to go with Dr Harsha Chandraratna.
From what is said on here and he was my friends surgeon...  Or though you can't trust her she has a way too a high pain threshold.

I've been looking at this for a couple of years now (anxious today for some reason, obviously normal, i hope), joined HBF almost a year ago to do this (1 1/2 months to go)...

Booked in to see him on the 22nd Jan... *gulp

My Mum had the old stomach stapling, similar in alot of ways, but hell harsher, has kept 30kilos off for 30 yrs.  She got it just after my sister was born, was really really big, but she went on to run marathons etc after and is still 30 kilos lighter.  Did lose 50 kilos to start with, but is happy with where she is at 60yrs old.

We grew up having her size meals etc, but I got lost along the way.
Thanks again    (love these fellas lol)

Welcome Tarnie, congratulations on your decision. My only regret was that I didn't do this sooner! You'll find heaps of support and info here...all the best with your journey!    Keep in touch!
