welcome, we are glad you are here. The messsge board is not as active as it once was. There are still ppl here to help though. it is hard to learn to open up but it can happen in time.

I think you have to be wiling to participate to get anything out of these types of message boards but what you share is always up to you. Have you settled on what type of surgery you will be having? The sub-threads tend to be more active than the general thread.

There is a sub-thread for Men that is pretty active (making an assumption based on your name only); the RNY daily thread is open to all comers regardless of surgery type, and I think the other surgery specific ones (DS and VSG) are regularly active too.

Good luck in your process
