The surgeon in Perth happened to be head of bariatric in local hospital. He heard my story -- he was empathetic and in January, 2023 I went on bariatric list for public sleeve.

Pretty much husband never ever complained about my adding stomachs and necks.
I needed support certainly to have the food eat today.
It's an individual thing. For my mind where I go bit crazy after operations and the before - the support got me through.
