Outstanding Support for Weight Loss Surgery
More than 100 people belong to this discussion group, people who have had the RNY Gastric Bypass surgery, LapBand, and other weight loss procedures. There are also family members, friends, and other support people here, too. Some people here have lost more than 300 lbs. They share experiences and ideas surrounding the issues of obesity and weight loss surgery. They provide support, advice and share their struggles and successes.
Topics shared relate to the surgery itself, getting past the first few months post-op, managing our pouches, protein shakes, food and diet, developing new eating habits, recipes, nutrition, supplements and vitamins, dealing with cravings, emotional issues, fear of weight gain, keeping the weight off, caring for ourselves, exercise, insurance issues, group activities, and much more. Once you join this group, you can check out great before and after photos, files with all kinds of information for success, and links to many needed resources on the net. There's also a 36-page wieght loss surgery cookbook with recipes submitted by members of this discussion group.
Member requirements are support, respect and tolerance. This is where you can become a Bariatric Butterfly... From the Girth, a Rising Phoenix!
