New Zealand Vsg Support

[Starbuck76 0]

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.
