You are overweight and you have been advised by your doctor to shed those kilos. Hey, this isn’t, something you dismiss, you have tried and you have at times during your life been successful.
You understand and you want to desperately look like a skinnier version of yourself. Gastric sleeves are a technique used to lose weight. It does involve surgery and with any intervention such as surgery – there’s always a risk.
Do the risks outweigh the advantages? We all know the risks of carrying excess weight. It has long term ramifications. However, are we talking about a few extra kilos, or are we now talking about obesity?
Often those suffering from obesity have other health concerns, high blood pressure, diabetes and the list can be long. It is not just a physical condition but also one around our “thinking” and our “emotional health”. The reasons for eating can be complex and looking to release superannuation for gastric sleeve requires a specialist to decide whether it is warranted.
One such client struggled for years with weight. She dieted and she exercised. She was less active as she aged, due to other health conditions. The weight piled on and the depression and hopelessness of her situation, the enormity of life pressed heavily.
She approached Release My Super and Robert Rushford personally handled her file. She required medical intervention but didn’t have the money to move in that direction. Hers was a complex condition and required several specialists to decide whether weight loss was the desired outcome for her.
She came to us saying “I need money now for the gastric sleeve from my superannuation”, however in consultation with her medical people, she was given another path.
Releasing money from your superannuation for a gastric sleeve is considered a genuine and legitimate reason for the early release of your superannuation, however each case, each person is unique as is their journey.
