How many people visit this site everyday I had my surgery in June 2005 and til this day I still visit everyday what draws us together?

I would have to guess that sharing a life changing event is unifying. I feel this band has certainly changes my life and I enjoy sharing that experience with others.

We did a really significant and brave thing to ourselves and I love knowing that ya'll are out there. Who else can really understand the details of our daily experiences before and after banding.........

Very well said, I totally agree:tea:

I visit the site every day as well. I am totally into it. I love hearing all the successes, challenges, NSVs, etc. It is life changing and a great support group.

I see this site as my support group. I also love to research the net and other threads to get good tips and like to post them on Lower Bmi thread so I have a place to refer to all I find more conveniently as well as share.

My friend is having gastric bypass and had to take six months of classes to learn how to deal with the mental stuff.

I see this group as doing the same thing for me. It really helps to know you are not going through things alone.

Audree :biggrin1:

I love this forum. I visit every day, it really kind of helps keep me in touch with the reality of living with the band.

It is a great resource for questions and other little facts about being a bandster that months of pre-research didn't give me.

The warmth and friendliness of the other posters is just so wonderful and encouraging.

Its just a nice feeling to connect with others who face the same daily challenges and choices.
