I underwent the 2 stage op in NZ in November 2012 and February 2013. Keen to talk to anyone who has been through this and can offer advice around living with DBS and what that means. Thanks (Not so) ShakingAJ

Sorry for the delayed reply, yeah it went well thanks. Check out my blog youngandshaky.com which gives a full run down of the ops etc, and if you have any questions get in touch and I'll do my best to answer them.
