Hi! I see you haven't had a reply. I am brand new on here and due to be banded in June. Type "New Zealand" in to rthe search box and there is a 12 page thread which may answer some of your questions.

All the best

AJ

Hi there, I am also new to this site. I have just had a gastric lapband done (20th June 2011) by Dr Fris who is based on the Northshore Auckland. So far i have lost 15kg. The only restriction i have found is if i eat to fast i get a little bit of reflux but that is easily resolved DON'T EAT SO FAST LOL. I have not found any other restrictions to date. I decided to have it done for health reasons (preventative measure) in addition to seeing a friend who had it done, she said it was the best thing she ever done and wished she done it years ago. By the way she looks fab. If you wanted to keep your operation private it will only remain private if you tell no-one., once someone knows they tend to talk about these types of operations, if they don't know all they can do is assume as you loose weight. Good luck.

Forgot to give you the link www.nzobesitysurgery.co.nz often he carries out presentations to inform you of the procedures he does, just give them a ring (phone number on their website) and ask when the next presentation will be. Have a good browse and read of their website.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
