hello people. I am new to this site. Looking for family support. I had rny on 12/27 and have lost 46 pounds. How do people view this site? I am signed up on another forum but I am just not getting anything from due to many rude personalities.

Angela, Welcome to this board! This is a supportive group of people and we welcome you warmly!. Read through the past posts and get a sense of who we are. it sounds like you are doing well if you have lost 46 pounds since Dec 27. That is exciting! Again, welcome! Connie

Welcome Angela! Congrats on the great start! I'm sorry that you have encountered rudeness on the other forum. Lori

Thank you to all. I am definitely going to take time to read past postings. I just left a forum, where a woman had asked if there were any family out there and she was just attacked, verbally. Those people had too much time on their hands. I am excited to look at your stories and learn from your experiences. Thank you again.

Hi Angela, and welcome! This is a very welcoming board. On the other OH fora (surgery-specific, state boards, etc) you'll find a mix of people. Most I have encountered have been at least polite. Z

Welcome Angela. On the other boards, you will find such a mix of people. I've not had problems with anyone (and I'm open on all the boards I frequent), so I guess I've been lucky. I think you'll find this board warm, welcoming and helpful. We're here to support you...and even kick you in the butt if you need it. Nothing is taboo here, so if you have any questions, ask away.

LMAO Rachelle. Just thinking about a "protein" question that was asked. Women caught on before the guys. Anyway, Welcome Angela. This is a close group that talks about everything. Like Rachelle said, nothing is taboo. Enjoy us here.
