What do you need? What would you like to get from this group? Share it here!

You came here for some reason. What is it that you would like to get from this group? What do you need? 

For me-I would like to feel a sense of community and sister-brotherhood with my UK and Ireland counterparts. Being alone is a dangerous proposition for me and isolation is NOT my friend. Do you know that feeling you get when you have been struggling and suffering on your own and you get the nerve up to ask for some help and you feel SO MUCH BETTER? Yes. Me too!

Go for it: Post!

Peace,

Well I am also an american and while I dont live in the UK, I do live in Europe. I live in Sweden to be exact. My skills with swedish are not so great  so support groups  are  out of the question for me here. I dont know if there are any swedish sites that deal with this, there probably are but since they would be in swedi**** would be too hard for me to participate as I want to and need to. I am working on my swedish but I feel a long way away from being fluent or comfortable in it.

I am also hoping that products we find might be accessible to us all here or that we can share sites that will deliver to us in this part of the world. I find many products people discuss on the main board are ones not available here and are also not available to be shipped here either since the sites that sell the products wont ship here.

Of course its also nice to communicate in english since I hear swedish most of the day and it strains my brain!

Hi Ruby!

You are absolutely welcome here. I can totally understand how you are feeling too! I want to make a thread for product reviews and links to where we all can find things we can access and have delivered in our respective areas. I also quickly found out that what is advertised here is not what we can easily (or inexpensively) get delivered!

Part of my goal is to access all the different WLS products in Europe and get details on how we can get our hands on them!

Feel free to post and to share. I am more than happy to have you here and I am sure the others will be too!

Thanks for your post and again-Welcome!

I need MORE uk based American friends

I play madden, download biggest loser, all my jerseys are Chargers ones, I love America and Americans, Now I just need more UK based American friends

Hows the weather for you at the moment Miss T ? We have really gusty winds here so im guessing your the same being so close?

Hey Gaz! So happy to see you here!!

And you KNOW-you have an American friend in me! And I am HAPPY to have a British friend! LOL! You can imagine me trying to get my land-legs here. Though I gotta tell you the folks here are SO very kind and friendly.

I have taken many picture taking expiditions with my husband and am trying to find some work-which is tough for ANYONE right now! Heh!

As far as the weather-I am still trying to aclimate. I didn't realize how much my old excess weight was keeping me WARM! LOL! Mostly I have my robe on and a blanket all day.

I am excited to get this place up and running and make a nice place for all the UK kids!!
Peace,
T

Thanks, Much appreciated.

Sure do, Once you get all settled down we must have that coffee, Maybe try to arrange a group meet too ? Glad we are making you so welcome.

Trying to find work right now must be a real pain in the butt, There just isnt anything out there, I have just decided Im bored and want a new job, Then I looked for one lololol, Guess I will just have to stay bored for now lol

Damm you, I used to walk around in shorts 365 days a year, Now I wear thermals and 2-3 layers lol, Typing this my fingers are ICE cold, Im so used to being too hot that its still a shock to my system.

Yeah we need to spread the word and really get it jumping, Next time I blog I will link this place.

A meet and greet in the UK would be great. I have never been to the UK but always wanted to visit there and since I now live fairly close its too accessible to not go!
