did you find a web site to explain what to do after surgery - my friend is just about to have partial stomach removal, to help loose weight, but we are all very worried about the consequences if it goes pearshaped.   have been trying to get her to loose weight naturally,but she thinks this is a quickfix ??   any info would be appreciated.
