We held our first Bariatric Surgery Support Group Meeting for 2026 this evening, and it was wonderful to see such a great turnout.
Please note that our support group meetings have now moved to Tuesdays and are being held at our Campbelltown rooms at Suite 13, Level 1, Campbelltown Private Hospital.
Guest speaker
We were pleased to welcome Bariatric Dietitian Angela Askew as our guest speaker. Angela shared valuable information about:
- Gastric sleeve and gastric bypass nutrition.
- Wholefoods versus processed foods.
- Understanding food processing classifications.
- The difference between whey protein and collagen protein.
- Label reading.
- How to interpret the nutrition information panel.
Group discussion
We then enjoyed an open group discussion, which gave everyone the opportunity to ask questions and share experiences. It was particularly valuable to hear from attendees who are yet to have bariatric surgery, as the discussion allowed for the sharing of advice, reassurance, and practical insights.
Thank you
We also enjoyed a fruit platter, tea and coffee, and of course our lucky door prize.
Thank you to everyone who attended. We look forward to seeing you at our next support group meeting.
