About Me

If you are anything like me, you will do all you can to avoid having to visit the doctor. My name is Francis and I live alone in a small apartment in Sydney, Australia. Last year, I finally decided to go and see my GP about a pain in my back. While I was there, the doctor also measured my height and weight. She was really friendly and explained that she thought the back pain may be a result of bad posture. I received a referral for treatment and I since receiving this, I have felt much better. I am so pleased I got to know my GP.

Talking to Your Doctor About Bariatric Surgery

When you've made the decision to talk to your doctor about your weight, you need to think about your objectives. Are you planning to discuss non-surgical methods to reduce your weight, or do you want your doctor to assess your suitability for surgical intervention (bariatric surgery)? Rather than a general discussion, you should intend for the appointment to end with an actionable goal. Your Desire to Lose Weight You may not have thoroughly thought about your goal beyond the desire to lose weight.
