Need Volunteers To Give Their Opinion

Hello-

I am writing a research paper for my Social Psychology class. I am toying with the notion of writing about how society reacts to obese and non-obese people.

I had my VSG surgery on August 1st of this year. While I am technically still obese- I have lost nearly 70 pounds since the start of the year. I am now an average weight for my local area. I have noticed a drastic difference in the way people in general treat me.

I am looking for volunteers that would be willing to complete a brief questionnaire about your experiences after VSG surgery. No names will be used only facts gathered from the questionnaire.

If you are interested in participating please let me know.

Thank you

I would be happy to participate. Send me a personal email with the questionairre and where you would like me to email the results to. I am OK with sharing demographic info also. I would like a copy of your completed paper - I am intersted in seeing your results and conclusions.

Wonderful. Thank you for your willingness to participate. I would be happy to send the final paper out to anyone that is interested in reading the end result. At the moment I am collecting names of those that are willing to participate. If the subject generates enough interest, I will follow up with the questionnaire. If it does not generate enough interest- I will let you know as well.

Thank you again for your willingness to share your experience.

Lucy i would be willing as well. I am only 8 weeks out but, I come with a complication from the surgery which could add to your overall scope.

Just let me know.

Thanks and good luck!biggrinjester.gif

Count me in. I would love to read the paper as well. This is a subject that has generated interest for me for a very long time.

I will be happy to participate. I am very early out though (6 weeks), so I will let you decide. Perhaps it will take you some time to send out the questionnaires and I will be ready.

I am 3 weeks out, and would be happy to help as well!

I am 7 weeks out and have noticed some things.. would be happy to participate

I'm 12 weeks out and would be happy to participate!

I will be sleeved on January 23rd, so if this is a longer term project, I would be happy to share my experiences as well. :)

Im nearly 5 months out and you can count me in!

I thought I already posted but do not see it. I would be glad to help.

I'd be happy to help out. Just 9 days out but already have some observations! I'd also be interested to see the final paper.

I would be happy to participate as well!
