i had my surgery on august 31 2015.... i lost a total of 80 lbs so far. I've had someone tell i need to be in a support group but I'm not really a social butterfly. i thought ill give this app a try just to kind of get my feet wet.

Hi @@chonti13

This place is the only "support group" I have...

There's a lot of knowledge, experience and care in this group...

Welcome...

Welcome!

This is a great place for information and inspiration.

May I ask if there is a particular reason someone suggested you seek a support group?

@@chonti13 Welcome, congratulations on the loss to date, that is fantastic...if you ever wonder if this is worth it, I always read:

http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/195065-you-know-you-lost-weight-when/

and then I suggest poking around to see who has posted on a subject before starting a new thread Not that I'm bitter.

I haven't even had my surgery yet, but this Website is great! I have learned so much in my prep, and looking forward to great conversations after my surgery too.

WELCOME!
