Post Surgery 18 mos plus.......
full page
Just seems rather sad that we haven't got to a full page yet! So I thought I would post this!!!
Looking at the WLS Grads board - that is very quiet, just one or two regular posters - perhaps people just don't want this sort of group? Shame if that is so! The surgery specific Band Grads group is reasonably active, nothing like the main surgery boards but quite a fair number of regular posters - I would have thought people would like the idea of a no-war general board.
Curiouscat7 - is it worth posting about it again on other boards? I know that there are people like me who have left other boards because of drama and unpleasantness. I am sure that if they know about this group they might come over.
I really like hearing about other surgeries - at a recent get-together in London, one stray RNY person joined us bandsters! And it was great - really added to our meeting!

Happily banded since May 2006. Regain of 28lbs 2013-14. ALL GONE!
But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,
I wondered since there is a Grads board that is not really active if this one would make it. I just want a place to go that has the problems/questions that are more in tune with my life at 3 years out, I know I'm not alone in my thinking, so I hope some of the 'old timers' will come on and stay on here.

I'll repost on main board again.....I just think this is a touchy subject for a lot of people.... I think it hits closer to home for some who are struggling and in denial....
I invited some folks *****ally need to be here and got some curt thanks but no thanks....
I really like the idea of quality vs quantity....
Feel free to invite others ...this was started by me but in no way "my " board, it's for everyone with a positive mind set

Wey- hey! Good to see you. Jodi! I'm hoping it will be like the main board without the wars and without the repetition. I am NOT knocking newbies for asking Qs!! But we have different needs and interests when we are in our 2nd year post-op and later. I really do like the mixed surgery boards!

I love off topic boards filled with people from all types of surgeries and experiences. Sometimes though I really want to learn more from other people who have been post op about their experiences post op. The bottom line is that the reason I am still on OH is because it does keep me connected to others who have had WLS and to get (and give) support.
My basic sense of this is that we should try to invite friends here who you think might also enjoy this type of board. I am sure that it will settle in and we will find the right mix of folks.
