My apologies for bad grammar!

English is my second language so I apologies if my grammar is terrible or if it doesn't make sense. I'll try to keep my post/questions short and simple.

I'd not have known had you not mentioned it...

With that in mind, you're doing better than many people whose first language is English...

Welcome to you...

just teasing agalindo17!!!

my silly sense of humor, or lack of it!!!

i joined BP 4+ years ago

i was also amazed at all the people posting from other countries

Scotland, UK, Canada, Spain

can't think of others off the top of my head

but there are many more to include

(I was born in Budapest, Hungary - came to America during the Hungarian Revolution 1956)

i was 2 years old - only spoke baby language!!!! (never learned hungarian)

don't think that counts though

what surgery are you having?

where and when will it be performed??

take care

good luck

Don't worry, English is my second language as well, it was pretty difficult to find an interesting and/or active bariatric community on the internet that was non-English speaking anyway!

This website is not a correspondence course in English. The grammar police need to patrol different websites.

No excuses or apologies are necessary.

Your post was written very well.

I took Spanish courses 1 & 2 many years ago in high school*; I would never be able to converse in Spanish the way you can in English.

*So far back that some of the U.S. territory was still under Spanish rule.
