Hello!

My name is Jessica Smith and I am very new to this site and this big journey I am about to take.  I live in Evans Mills, NY, I am an Army Wife, I have tri-care prime insurance, and my doctor that I will be seeing is Dr. Howard Simon ( so if any one has had him please send your feed back this way and if you have tri-care prime what I should expect with the approval process). I have my information session on Dec. 21st and I am really excited.  I have been fighting my battle my whole life. As a teenager I was bulimic and in college my weight just went up from there.  I am sitting at my highest weight I have ever been. I have tried all the yo-yo diets even jenny Craig, weigh****chers, and medifast and none of them work so my husband and I have felt that it was time to have WLS.

Thanks for you time and I am looking to all the feedback i can possibly get.

Unfortunately, I have limited access on the computer (here at work) so facebook is not one of those places I can visit.  Like many people, I do not have any technical access from home and it is frustrating that everyone can only be found on a computer.   In these rough economic times, I'm fortunate to put gas in the car to get to work.  That's about the only luxury I've allowed in several years.  I also do not have a gazillion cable tv stations, only the major networks, CBS, NBC, ABC, TV55 and NEWS12...the rest in spanish which are useless.  Still, I manage to count my blessings but reaching out for support is costly and I just don't have it.   This website used to be very active and sadly in severe decline :(

Hi Trish,

I have noticed the same issue, however, Facebook seems much more active, even obesityhelp.com has a Facebook page now....lol!

There are numeros support groups on Facebook that are pretty well run, are you on Facebook at all?

Over the years of having had surgery (4 years ago), I see a huge decline in the use of this website.  What happened to everyone?  It appears to me that there aren't alot of people seeking help here.  I was just curious if there is a decline in the number of people having surgery these days due to the decline in the economy.  I do, however, see a huge number of people viewing posts but not replying to them.
