Thank you, Khloe!

I'm set for April 3. Please add me to your facebook group too! tinavball@hotmail.com

I can relate. I'm an ex-athlete (injured) and I had to gain a few more to qualify for insurance coverage.... because when I'm not running I cannot lose or maintain my weight. I hope the docs are good in NZ! Everything is good there... except the lasagna. :-P

Sounds like you got the answers you were hoping for. :-) I didn't know you lived in NZ. Great place. I almost moved there to work for Fletcher's Forests. Maybe another time. :-) How big do you have to be to go public?

Oy, I've only been on this site for like 2 hours... but I'll let ya know if it helps me to decide! Why are you considering New Zealand?

I had a reaction to the steri strips too. I had to spray a benadryl spray over the rash all the time. It sucked. But that glue stuff was fantastic! I haven't had this sleeve procedure yet. I'm still on the fence, even though I'm scheduled in 2 weeks for the procedure. I hope someone can respond with info!

I've had 5 spine surgeries with about 6" incisions thru the front and the back. The first two times they used a glue to close me. I had no problems at all... quick healing. The next few they used stitches and it took like a year for the last one to close. It was horrible and itchy. I wonder if there are alternate materials available for this procedure as well. Worth asking. Good luck!!
