The MA board rocks!

I decided to browse other boards to see what surgeons are like in other states and WOW!!!!

Some of the boards are filled with DRAMA and hate! Since when did "well my surgery was better than yours" become something "cool" to say? 

I know for me, I had the gastric bypass, and I may not know much about the lap band or any other WLS but if you need support I'll give it to ya! 

The MA board is a quiet board. Your posts may not be answered in an hour or even the same day, but they'll get answered.

Ahh..I can't believe some people on this website. Thank you to those in this board who are positive, supportive, and all around good people.

Absolutely !!! Isn't that what we're supposed to be ...... A SUPPORT network - doesn't matter if or what kind of surgery - we are all people who have battled with food issues. So as Brook said we may be quiet ! But we are great !!!

One of the reasons behind this --- we don't have any DS surgeons' in MA.

 LOL.
