LUCYCAT 6 Posted December 29, 2011 Hello- I am writing a research paper for my Social Psychology class. I am toying with the notion of writing about how society reacts to obese and non-obese people. I had my VSG surgery on August 1st of this year. While I am technically still obese- I have lost nearly 70 pounds since the start of the year. I am now an average weight for my local area. I have noticed a drastic difference in the way people in general treat me. I am looking for volunteers that would be willing to complete a brief questionnaire about your experiences after VSG surgery. No names will be used only facts gathered from the questionnaire. If you are interested in participating please let me know. Thank you 1 Pookeyism reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LUCYCAT 6 Posted December 29, 2011 Wonderful. Thank you for your willingness to participate. I would be happy to send the final paper out to anyone that is interested in reading the end result. At the moment I am collecting names of those that are willing to participate. If the subject generates enough interest, I will follow up with the questionnaire. If it does not generate enough interest- I will let you know as well. Thank you again for your willingness to share your experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

longer-life 139 Posted December 29, 2011 I will be happy to participate. I am very early out though (6 weeks), so I will let you decide. Perhaps it will take you some time to send out the questionnaires and I will be ready. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
