This group is really great

Wow. I ventured into what I thought was another support group on Facebook for bariatric patients and was really offended by the snarky admins there. Makes me glad I found this group. It is good to hear direct comments, but no need to be so rude in delivery.

Welcome! I’ve found this group to be incredibly supportive. There’s the occasional asshat that joins in, but they seem to realize pretty quickly they won’t get any traction here.

I have been here a while, just appreciating it after a little time in the other group

I have been here now for 9 months and honestly don't know what I would do without this group. Most people have been extremely supportive and knowledgeable. I haven't encountered any rude people or rude comments at all. Sometimes I am on here all day commenting, and other days I just read and it makes me feel better. Thank you to everyone on here.

I haven't joined any of the Facebook groups - I've heard too many negative things about a lot of them. This forum overall is very good.

I agree. I've gotten so much out of this group as I prepare for surgery. It's been such a slow process but this group keeps me focused.

I agree this group is really great. People here are really helpful and friendly

I would be lost without this app. Seriously. Everyone is great and so supportive.

I agree. I have found that I check this po for notifications before I check my text messages sometimes. Sorry friends and family. Lol

Another great thread! This is the only place I go for advice or to share wls experiences. I joined a bunch of Facebook groups when I first had surgery, but they turned out to be dreadful places and I always came away feeling terrible about everything! The support and encouragement offered here has been invaluable for me and I'm sure many others. 🤍
