PLEASE CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR WHEN YOU HAVE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS REGARDING YOUR PERSONAL HEALTH. We are not professionals.
This is by far the most awesome WLS support group on MySpace. Our members are simply the best. We want this to be a place of safety and support. Make this experience what you need to make it for you. The fact of the matter is we are all different. No matter what the sterotypes for "fat" peope are we are all different. We all have our own baggage. Our own issues. Our own ways of communicating. Sometimes the only thing we have in common is our food "issues." Please be kind when you post.
If someone has a "very specific" question please know that each one of us is very different and the answer for the most part needs to be "call your doctor." We have had our own experiences but I don't think any of us are WLS surgeons. So when in doubt, please encourage each other to phone the doctor.
If you are post mean spirited messages and attack other members you will be warned and if things can't be resolved you will be asked to leave or you will be banned.
