I'm new to VST and having a hard time finding the information I'm looking for. I'm also a member on Obesityhelp.com, that site is a little easier to manage, but I'm gonna stick it out.

I'm in the NY area, so if anyone is interested in staying in touch and possibly meeting for group dinners, holla at your girl!

It's great to have a place to talk to about things that, as I black woman, I'm facing. Everything from body type to what is considered attractive in the community...

Great idea!

Hello all. I was sleeved on May 23, 2011 in beautiful San Diego, CA. I feel really good about my decision to have the VSG. Thank you so much for having a place for those of us of color to virtually meet. What a wonderful idea. Best to all.

Hey, welcome!!!! Keep us posted on your progress. I love reading about everyone's experiences with VSG surgery. I wait in anticipation for my own (soon I hope).

Hey everyone! Is there anyone on here from Houston? Maybe we can link up or maybe start a group or something? It would be nice to hand out with popele that know what you're going through...just an idea?

Hi Everyone, I am happily, newly sleeved. I am so happy to have found this site. I live near Los Angeles and was sleeved in San Diego. Looking forward to getting to know everyone.

Welcome...I am from San Diego and was sleeved here also.How are you feeling? Who is your surgeon?

My surgeon is Dr. George Zorn. He was really good. I found him through Kaiser.
