Hi all!

Ruby-a new member brought up a GREAT topic!! Where can we find the products we need? We have all probably clicked on the links on this site (and others)-only to find out that we cannot obtain OR afford the shipping!!

Have any of you had any luck or success with European sites?? PLEASE SHARE!

I endevour to research and see what I can also add to this list!

Thanks
Therese

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!
Therese

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!

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,
T

Topic: You made it! Welcome! Come introduce yourself.
There you are!

 If you made it this far-it is because you are already an important member of this group. Why? Because you have something to offer. It doesn't matter if you are just starting out-or post op for years. Each of us had a beginning and needed to hear from someone in their shoes what they were going through.

Each of you have an important place here-and you will be treated as such. I have learned equally from those just starting out to those long since post op. Even now-after 2 years-new folks give me SO much inspiration and info!

Please take a moment to share with all of us your journey. If you are shy about posting-think about all those who feel the same way. Hey-it starts with one light and it spreads, right? 

Let's light up the night! Here, I will light one and then you, and so-on. Take my hand-let's go!
