Every Journey Is Special
Only you have lived your story, and we aspire to provide a platform for a wide selection of your incredible efforts, the challenges you have overcome, and the successes of having Bariatric Surgery.
We Are Not Alone
When you share your WLS journey and how it has impacted you, you show people they are not alone. Your story can show that overcoming any WLS difficulties is possible and raises the opportunity for connection.
Become Empowered

Don’t take your life for granted. I used to think having surgery for weight was the cop out but I’ve realised it isn’t easy & it’s for life.

My health is the best thing, lower BP and lower heart rate. The hardest part is getting my head around eating smaller amounts, using a smaller plate has been helpful.

I am so much happier now and enjoy being out and about with my family. I also allow photos to be taken now. Hardest part is learning what foods now work to fuel me and not to overeat. I still see myself as big, even in before and after photos I cannot tell a huge difference. Something for me to work on.
