I've been researching for a long time too! I mostly lurk, but I'm glad that there are helpful people on the forums.
Sweet! Bless you for the acknowledgement- that makes my fight totally worth it! Man, oh, man, I and some others have been a stand for a very long time for decent, thoughtful, compassionate support here!
Yup, same people, just the group was thankfully made private. I was (un)kindly and explicitly told I was the only person who would not be allowed to be a member. I consider that an honor.

Is the private group a continuation of the vile people from R & R? If so, you're right, the private group would not be for me. I've been trying to get this surgery a long time and I need support and most of the people from that group were not supportive. I did see that AnneGG and a few other angels that tried to be supportive and helpful and I thank the heavens and stars I see them on this forum.
Oh my goodness! I haven't been on here in awhile and didn't know they finally shut down that cesspool. Good riddance. What is the private group?
The new private group is probably not for you... Just stay on moderated forums and be safe.

I have friends that LOVE them!!! They say it takes a little getting used to inserting and removing because you have to twist it a little, I think, but once you get the hang of it they say it's great!
I haven't tried it yet myself...perhaps one day. ;)

Doesn't exist anymore- there is a private group you can join.
