    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!!

    Still deciding on whether to go forward with the sleeve. Will need inflammation management (aspirin) and seeing different opinions on aspirin use after these procedures. Would love to hear from others with aspirin experience after surgery.
