A business/coaching but still WLS question

[Amanda Dutton LPC 217]

Hey, y'all.

Posting in the vet thread so if it is not appropriate I can get your feedback and quickly delete without getting early WLS folks involved.

I don't want to break posting rules, so if anyone can lead me to the rules about this, please help - I've been away for awhile and have only re-engaged in the last couple of weeks.

I'm a therapist and a coach who works pretty exclusively with bariatric surgery folks. I want to create a couple of low-cost courses for bariatric surgery folks, both pre and post surgery. I want patient input on what is needed so I only create something really helpful and know this is the best community to ask. There will also be a free "bariatric bootcamp" mini course.

But, I want to be transparent, so I don't want to ask something like "what do you wish you knew before surgery" or "what are your biggest worries going into surgery" without being totally up front as to why I'm asking.

Are there rules against this? Can someone direct me to this info if so? Can y'all tell me if this even sounds like a good idea???

Again, if I find out I'm breaking some forum protocol by even asking this, I'll take this down ASAP - I just figured other vets could help me figure this out.
