episode 3: Woofers Podcast Episode 3 - The Referral Process
In Episode 3, siblings, Seán and Catherine, talk about their experiences navigating the system to apply for Bariatric surgery. They will discuss the public Irish system, the private application process and travelling abroad for surgery. It is important to note that this is their personal experience and everyone has a different experience going through this process. A good place to start is always speaking to your GP or other medical professional about your options and if Bariatric surgery is the best option for you.
