It's the time of year that we focus on being thankful. Since many of us in the OH Community are bariatric patients, we'd like to support other people and show our bariatric surgeons that we appreciate them by leaving a review for them! Maybe it's been a few years, and you'd like to say thank you to your surgeon for providing you a new start and let them know about your progress!
It's always free for anyone to join the OH Community. We value your privacy and don't sell or share your information. If you are already a member, all you need to do is log in to your profile, hit the pink plus sign, click on Write Review, and you're on your way!

Do you have products that you use and recommend to your friends, family and other OH members? Are you looking for a protein shake, vitamin supplementation products or protein snacks and not sure what to buy?
Check out the OH Products Directory and leave reviews of what you think of the products plus assign star ratings so other members can make better decisions on what they purchase.
If you're going to purchase any products such as protein products, desserts, cereal, vitamin patches and supplements, check the OH Products Directory first to see what other members think on all sorts of products.
If there are products that you buy that aren't on the directory and you think they should be, let us know. Please add the manufacturer/company and the name of the product as a reply to this post. It would also be helpful if you added where you purchase the item, i.e., the name of the retailer or online (with the URL).
We're excited to update everyone that the notification issue has been resolved by our IT Team. Members should now receive notifications!!
If you have any issues receiving a notification, please send the link to the post you made that you did not receive a notification to Member Services.
Big thanks to everyone for their patience and assistance!
Check out the videos of Graham's first ever "Fireside Chat" interview.
You'll find out what he has to say about how having weight loss surgery has impacted his wife and kids, find out who he told first about his decision to have WLS, even though he is a chef and MasterChef judge-what he NO LONGER eats, what he thinks about WLS as the "easy way out," his thoughts on being approached about his WLS and questions from others if they should have WLS, and much, much more!
Be prepared to laugh, motivated and inspired. 
Hi bh70116,
Here is a link to his profile. Be sure and read the reviews of members that have had surgery with him. Let us know if you need any further help
