Are you looking for somewhere to make contact with other Kiwis who have already had, or are considering, gastric bypass surgery? Look no further!

For the record: gastric bypass surgery includes Roux-en-Y (RNY), the Fobi-pouch and any other form of intestinal rearrangement undertaken for the purpose of assisting with weight loss.

Please take the time to check out the archives and files (in the left hand menu) that are available / posted by members of this site (You can only access these once you sign up as a group member) as there is a mine of information available to anyone who wants it .. you just need to allow yourself abit of reading time!

Note: None of us claim any medical expertise here, we're just sharing our experiences and you're very welcome to join us - regardless of who performed your surgery, when you had your surgery and where you live in the world.

One final note - please respect other people's privacy (and feelings!) when posting or reading (or repeating to others) what's been posted. Whilst we all accept that the Internet is an open forum, we often post personal and sometimes sensitive content as part of our experience with WLS. Be sure to have respect in all that you say, write and do, to ensure this site stays a useful, safe place for people to seek support and information.
