Bariatric Support Australia exists to support people at every stage of the bariatric surgery journey — from those just starting to explore their options, to people living years beyond surgery.

We are a community built on lived experience, understanding, and connection. Our members include people who have undergone a wide range of bariatric procedures, as well as those preparing for surgery or supporting loved ones through the process.

Living with weight loss surgery is not just about the procedure itself. It is about navigating physical changes, emotional shifts, relationships, food, health, and identity. We understand that this journey can be complex, challenging, and deeply personal.

At Bariatric Support Australia, you will find:

  • Shared experiences from people who truly understand

  • Practical guidance, tips, and real-world insights

  • Access to resources, stories, recipes, and education

  • A welcoming space where you are not judged or rushed

Whether you are looking for information, reassurance, community, or simply a place to feel less alone, you are welcome here.
