Today’s guest was sleeved in November 2018. With a start weight of 119.3kg, like a lot of us she had a fear of failing after surgery. 3 years down the track she has lost over 50kg and proved that through hard work and dedication, she is definitely not a failure, but indeed a success.

Join us as we chat with @mssubtle_vsg, Zoe, about how she navigates being a full-time working mum, her insecurities and her life after WLS.

This week we decided to scale it back. No guests this week, just us talking about the lead up to surgery. We try to cover everything you would need to know while preparing for WLS. We chat about our own experiences as well as getting the stats from a surgeon. This is not an episode to miss if you want to know about the different procedures, success rates, complications and costings.

Great episode for those who are just gearing up to join the losers bench.
We also reached out to a surgeon to get the stats around bariatric surgery, the difference in the surgeries and what tests you need to go through prior to going under the knife.
