I love reading everyone's posts and have been visiting and contributing for well over a year now. I am wondering if others see a need to have another section just for those over a year out? I know there is a section for success stories, but I don't think that is the same thing. I don't feel like I will be done at some point. I just feel like I will switch to maintenance which is still an ongoing process. When I go online I feel like a lot of people are in the pre op or recently post op phase. That was invaluable to me when I was in those phases. However, as those people move into different phases I think it would be easier to go to a forum that is more applicable to where you are in your journey at that time. Any thoughts?

I definitely think it would be helpful. I'm almost a year out, down 132 lbs. I have about 13 more pounds to go to reach my ultimate goal. For maintenance support, I was planning on using My Fitness Pal.

Umm, like this one? http://www.bariatricpal.com/forum/1205-wls-veterans-forum/

There is a section for weight loss vets. I believe that you have to be 18 months from your surgery date to post there but you can view it.

Thanks. Might be something like that except under the sleeve section. I can click the link above, but I do not see a Veterans forum when searching the forums. I am 7 months out. Possibly blocked until I am out further? Not sure why I wouldn't be able to even see the forum.

Found it! It is not under Gastric Sleeve. It is only under General Weight Loss Forum. Thanks Guys. Wish there was one specific to Gastric Sleeve, but this is better than nothing. Hope this helps someone else find it.
