i love this web site

just want to say thanks to EVERYONE who posts.I will not be able to be sleeved till jan if every thing goes as i hope. So every day i sit down and read all the posts the good bad and ugly and find that it is so incouraging. Someday soon it will be me and i will get to post a 100lb lost. I will be going to mexico for my surgery and will be a self pay,i have picked a surgen from all the posts and research and was going to go with the band BUT have decided that i want the sleeve instead. So for all you that do not know if your post helps let me tell you that i read them all and THANK you all .

Not only is it great but addictive...I have to check this site a dozen times a day!!!

I second that "thanks!"  Learned so much here; what to do, what NOT to do, and what to watch out for if you go ahead and do it anyway!!! 

Thanks for the post, Susan.

this forum is what really got me going and helped me through all the long wait I had before surgery. since i live in a remote area there was not much other information and support. this was it and its so great. someday you will "pay it forward" after you have had your surgery you can help others. thats how it seems to work here and its so great.

I agree, I also  read all post several time aday.EACH AND EVERYONE ONE YOU have made an enpack on my life.I was just saying two days ago how much i love you guys and gays.

I agree, I haven't been sleeved yet either, but plan on it within the next couple of months and I would never have had the courage to do it without everyone here!   I have learned so much and am so grateful for each and every one of you!! 

I can't agree with you more!
This site has been my support system, my teacher, my solution center especially right after I came home post-op. I was home 24 hours after surgery, in pain, and realized just how little useful information I was provided during the pre-op training classes. I came here to OH trying to find a solution for the excessive gas pain in my torso and was given several excellent  solutions by the OH members. From that moment I was hooked and check in pretty much daily.
See you on the loser's bench!... Craig
