Hi everybody!

My name is Louise and I am a researcher in bariatric surgery from University College Cork in Ireland.

Having personal experience of the bariatric journey, I was amazed by the huge psychological impact the surgery has & how much we still need to learn.

Ireland has quite a small bariatric community so I would be so grateful if you would lend your voice/experience and be apart of something meaningful.

The questionnaire doesnt require any identifying information, just your experience & will take about 15min to complete.

I am more than happy to forward you the results once I have completed it if you would like.

Here it is

If you would like anymore information or the final results, my email is listed on the first page. Also, if you decide to do the survey, leave a comment & let me know so I can send positive thoughts and love your way! :D

Thank you so much in advance to anyone who contributes their experience :)

Interesting stuff Loulou 11 I just completed your questionnaire now. I was surprised just how affected my family and friends were when I told them about the surgery. Some were really supportive and other relationships over time just disappeared. It was like some people couldn't be around me unless i was the 'fat' person. Nice to see work being done in this area so we can become more informed. I would be interested in the results once the study is complete. Best of luck.

      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! 😞
