New from Down Under

[Sunwyse 1]

Hello,

I'm Michelle from Australia. 40 y.o. and a BMI of around 45. I have PCOS which has added to my weight issue and SAD which doesn't help. Winter for me is the worst part of the year. I took out insurance last year, so can have the operation anytime after 18 October this year. I'm considering around November because I can then take 4 weeks off work. I work in child care and having to bend over and pick up kids all day doesn't appeal to me just after tummy surgery lol. I am going to my GP this Saturday to get a referral, I want to meet the surgeon and get everything underway now, so I can plan for it all, that way it'll go more smoothly later on.

Michelle

Wow! I'm underwhelmed by the the number of people who think it would be nice to just simply say 'hello'. Thank you all so much for such a warm and friendly welcome to the forum
