Loving That There's An LGBTQ Place :)



Recommended Posts

Yes, I'm slow and late to the show but I'm loving that VST has a place for LGBTQ members! How awesome! I noticed it's a little quiet, but that's okay, because it EXISTS...YAY! :)

I'm sorry for stumping you. It stands for Lesbian Gay Bi Trans *****/Questioning- we've used it for years in the gaming community, so I guess I just used it here as well. :)

Good to see you here, OneWritersSoul. It's not super active all the time, but it is great that there is a place on these boards for LGBTQ folks.

Hello!!!!

I will be 7 mo post op on the 25th and I'm hoping to be at 100 lb loss by then!!!

My wife's been super supportive! I am thankful for my sleeve- it was the consistency I couldn't do/have alone without it!!

I'm 32 and a mental health counselor/therapist!

Hi "family" :-) I am 5 weeks post-op today. Weight is slowly but steady coming off. Getting used to the "new way of life." I do NOT regret having the sleeve! My partner is my biggest supporter & my biggest fan. She rocks!!!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
