Hi susanblue, I've Ben unable to get any replied or support on this forum. It's mostly for Americans, I think. I've found a wonderful support group on Facebook. It's called "Weightloss Surgery New Zealand". It's a secret group, so the public cant read the posts, and there's several hundred members. They've organized regional support coffee groups and I've had so many of my fears allayed and questions answered. Join in - perhaps I'll see you on tu losers bench soon! :-)

Hi Starbuck, thank you for the reply. I am unable to find the page on facebook?? do you think you would be able to post a link to the group (or send me a pm) ? really would like to connect to others here in NZ. Thank you :-)

Edit - I think I have found the group! Sent a friend request. Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction.

I've got my sleeve. Currently in the ward recovering. I feel great all things considered. I have minimal pain, I can walk, I can pee, I can drink.

I was scared shitless this afternoon as I went into the OR. I'm happy to say that fear was unwarranted. I'm so fucking happy right now, here's to a smaller future.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
