Ok so I have been stalking the boards for a few weeks now. I tend to comment seldom unless it's something that really touches me or if it's something I can learn from.

One thing that's becoming obviously annoying to me.... A lot (not all) of people that use te boards pre-op, go thru surgeries and we never ear from em again! I have followed a lot of stories, and tons of em dead end at tomorrow's my surgery date! Uuuuuugh! Why do people do this!? Very annoying! If you are going to be part of a board pre-op..... Finish ur story post op!!

Thanks for the reminder. I just updated all my info, except for photos. I gotta get on that one.

I know, sometimes I sit wondering well heck did they make it!?!? Lol you know.

Hello Misty Raine. Is your surgery in Oct of 2014 or was it 2013.

It's this coming October I'm told! super excited!!! And wasn't trying to "make" anyone check in.... Just like the previous person said (sorry didn't see who said it) ... We just wonder if they made it, died, or what!?

Yes EXACTLY!

I made it 3 months post op and down 100 pounds

I tend to think the same way. LOL It's actually kinda nerve wrecking. "Like OMG! Did you die?"

Holy crap! Way to go!!!

I think I'm going to start messaging people and asking... Did u stop posting cause ur dead or just forget where u started!? Lol

I always wondered the same thing about if they died but was afraid to say it but since we broached the subject does anyone know of someone passing from the surgery that's been on the message board? I guess we wouldn't have any way of knowing. It is bothersome to me and my surgery is February 5th... I guess it's always everyone's worst fear. I hope I didn't offend anyone by saying this.

For me, I had a rough couple of weeks after surgery and combined with a couple of really mean spirited people I read comments from I just don't comment much. I do when I feel I have something of value to add. I had surgery Dec 2 and now am 45 pounds down. I have hit that dreaded 4 week stall and have been there for 8 days now. I have been fortunate to have met a local to me buddy and consider her an invaluable friend now!! CJ
