Bangkok, Bandages & Big Ideas – The Beginning of SurgerySupport.io

It’s been 40 years since I set foot in Bangkok — which honestly shocked me more than the landing migraine. Come on! But let me tell you, the birdsong here? Absolutely wild. A full orchestra of tropical tweets, nothing like the crisp, Zen tones of New Zealand mornings.

Today is Surgery +6, 6 June.

That’s right — six days since I waved goodbye to the “etched-in-worry” version of my face. And thanks to the green-and-white torpedo of a sleeping pill they prescribed (seriously, what is in that thing?), I’ve slept like royalty every night since. Until last night.

3:11am.
“Hey Siri, what time is it?” I mumbled in my tranquilised state, through my compression bandage. Nailed it on the first try — you’re improving, Siri. Mind spinning. Ideas flowing. Sleep? Essential but inconvenient. Because today? Go day.

Time to build, test, push. I love the intense focus and pressure. Every morning I peel off that compression bandage like it’s Christmas, and boom — a little less swelling, barely any bruising (thanks to my obsessive icing), and straight to the keyboard. If I’m not vibe coding, I’m binging Billions and The Mad Unicorn. Recovery (two weeks indoors) is flying.

I’m documenting every moment — photos, videos, med logs, even when I’m too foggy to remember my own glasses. Honestly, I'm setting phone alarms like I’m launching rockets. Because I didn’t come to Thailand to become a pill administrator — I came here for the procedure and recovery. There's so much admin, the language barrier is problematic, and my “concierge” in Thailand has gone AWOL due to a visa issue. Talk about timing… not cool! Humans are unreliable. Tech can do this!

Introducing SurgerySupport.io

surgerysupport.io — your recovery co-pilot.
A SaaS platform for patients undergoing elective cosmetic surgery abroad.

Why It Matters

Impact:
Meets a pressing need in medical tourism — end-to-end support, cultural guidance, and peace of mind. A bolt-on to the existing process to reduce friction, and enable business growth and scaling.

Idea Quality:
Bold and obvious in hindsight. Goes beyond a checklist and addresses a real pain point. Offers multilingual support, structured recovery planning, and secure communication. Especially valuable when you’re abroad, vulnerable, and not 100%.

Implementation:
Modern, scalable, and secure. Features include:

Secure login
Role-based access
Smart checklists
Real-time messaging with read receipts
Multilingual support
File uploads
Medication tracking
Image management

Built on a modern stack (Next.js, Supabase), with real-time data and HIPAA/GDPR compliance.

Design:
Personalized dashboards, intuitive workflows for patients and care teams, visual progress tracking — the platform makes complexity feel simple and builds user confidence.

Hackathon Madness: How We Made It

The gap was obvious, but my coding skills were… aspirational. More strategic marketer than full-stack dev. I went through five (or more?) project iterations, learning with each one. I upgraded from free to Pro Bolt faster than I could make a coffee.

Got tangled in auth, revoked by GitHub, mocked by Mac Terminal, haunted by dependencies. I almost made it — but the deadline loomed.

Then came Quentin. The Belgian miracle on Discord. We teamed up the Friday before submission. NZ by day, Belgium by night — 24/7 build mode.

Quentin handled backend logic and user flows, fixed photo uploads, nailed forgot-password logic, and got full functionality running. I pivoted to testing, video, and final polish.

We made it.
