Hi everyone. Being fairly new here and so impressed with this site, I only want even more! I have been to more threads in more forums on this site than I can count and have seen several of you refer to 'other' WLS sites that you frequent as well as this one.

My question is, would you all share the other sites? I would like to gather as much information as possible before my surgery date and the more sites I can go to that are recommended, the better. TIA!

Have a great Friday everybody!

Hi. I'm sorry Ive never been to another one. I did a search on the internet and this was the first one that came up. I loved it so much I didnt bother to check out anything else.

Sorry that was of no help what so ever. I just wanted to say hello

This was my first site, but I also go on Obesity Help because that is where my doc suggested too.

Im the same as the other two ladies. I did a search when I was about a week post op and found this site and have been here ever since. Havent tried any of the others. Sorry.

Thanks for the input. I registerd at Obesity Help to join the message board for my surgeon. Hopefully there are other sites out there. I certainly don't expect to find one as thorough as this one is but it is fun for me being pre-op to check out all possiilities.

ObesityHelp is the largest and earliest board of this kind, as far as I know. There also are Yahoo groups, though I've never checked them out, I have heard people mention them. Do a search, and you'll probably come up with something.
It's not such a bad idea to check other places--you get second opinions for important stuff, right? -- but we admins/mods of the board sure hope you'll make this your home base, even though you may give other places a vist from time to time.

YOU might find on obesityhelp.com to register in your state forum.....
and meet others that way from your area for support groups.
I have friends that i have made on that site. THATs were i actually
met tantesta and littlelisamarie who post here. In my NEW YORK forums there.
BUT i post mainly here.
I like the smaller more personal touch of this board.

My Doctors Office Has Their Own Forum Online But People Are Pretty Slow To Respond To Threads. Dont Get Me Wrong They Are A Great Bunch But My Family Is Here. This Is The Best Bunch Of People You Will Meet. I Love This Forum
