Are you a female that has experienced weight-related discrimination?

If so, researchers in the Department of Psychology at Western New England
College are looking for you!

We are conducting a daily diary study on weight and weight-related discrimination.
We are looking for female participants willing to complete a 12 minute daily online
survey for 7 days in a row. In order to participate, you must:
• be at least 18 years of age
• fill out a survey everyday for 7 days in a row
• have Internet access
• understand English

We hope you will consider taking part in our research study as your information
will be crucial for aiding our understanding of women's experiences with
weight-related discrimination.

Participants who successfully complete the 7 day survey will have a chance to
win one of five $50 Visa gift cards. Gift cards will be drawn at the conclusion of the study.

If you have any questions or are interested in participating, please contact Dr.
Jason Seacat in the Psychology Department at [email protected]

*This study has been approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) and all
information you provide will be kept strictly confidential.

Thank you!

Thanks.  Good luck to you also.

I just had my surgery last Monday (Dec. 20, 2010) and am already enjoying the weight loss.  I had no complications and was up walking the night of my surgery.  Came home 2 days later and I am feeling great.  Joined my family for Christmas and today I ran into a friend who knew I had surgery and said that she can already see a loss in my face.  I am so excited to have this done and over with and I am looking forward to finally losing the weight. 

Hey Rose! ur looking good! Merry Christmas n a blessed New Year!

 I posted a little about my pre-op appointments (yesterday); if you go to my profile page you can see it in my blog.  I'm at a different hospital, so it could be a little different, but hopefully it can help you know what to expect.
