A big thank you to everyone on this site.

I am pretty much a newbie. I am 4 days post op, and had the vertical sleeve done.  I was so worried , and had so many questions when I first started this journey.  This site, and members have kept me feeling great.  I don't necessarily part take in many discussions, but I sure do read them. I make it a point to see new discussions ,and ideas  everyone has daily. Not only that you can find just about any answer to your questions through the search feature. I just want to give a genuine thank you to everyone on here. I feel prepared, empowered, and I feel like if I need anything we are all here for each other.  Keep up the good work. For those of you who have been on here for a long time, a big thank you to you for all your words of wisdom. 

I won't personally have helped you as I am not sleeved! But best wishes for your new journey!

i just wanted to say, thank you so much for reading and searching! Over the years, so many long time wls people leave this board through the sheer irritation of being asked the same questions over and over again! Newcomers even post to say "I know I can search but it is nicer to ask". Maybe when they are vets they will understand better. So thank you for being considerate! 

I read the forums here before and after surgery until my eyes fell out, and what I learned was invaluable for me and made my journey easier.

I'm glad you're finding this a useful informative site! I have a lot gratitude, too.

I just wanted to wish you a wonderful recovery and start to your new life!!
