  1. My little sister has a mini-bypass

    My little sister has a mini-bypass

    Meet my little sister Leilani, who is nearly four weeks post-op from a mini-bypass. We talk about her journey so far, from deciding to get weight loss surgery, to accessing her kiwi-saver to fund it privately, meeting her surgeon, the big day and her last four weeks post-op. Sound Quality Disclaimer fam, in this episode, I am walking yet again, so apologies for the not-so-top-quality audio - I promise I'll make more of an effort to stay indoors next time! That means there is a bit of echo in parts, and I sound a bit weird, but hey - girls gotta do what a girls gotta do, and I have a 60 km walking goal each month, and as of this minute, I have 4 more days on the clock and 24 km to go!

    Wow, the final chapters! We have made it to the end of an unexpected journey. These chapters cover life beyond weight loss surgery, undieting (intuitive and mindful eating) and levelling up.  This is my final episode of Bariatric Yarns. Thank you so much for listening. I have had a blast.  I'd love to hear from you on social media at @bariatricyarns or @from_lian.
