Check out the number



Recommended Posts

Has everyone noticed how many members we have now? Over 1100! It's down near the bottom of the page on the right hand side. I've watched that number go up almost every day! Cool!

I see the high number but where are they all? I think there is probably only 10 of us actually writing anything. Lol.

You'd be very surprised.....

I've found that most people don't have the courage to sign up for membership. If they do, it's rare that they'll post. Usually they lurk ;) We don't allow spam signups, I go through most signups manually. Almost all members are legit.

In a few weeks I'm planning to run a little promo (giving away some ipods and an ipad 2) to encourage people to post etc. Should help us out a bit since we're brand smacking new.

Cool. Yeah, having more posters would make things more interesting and informative.

Thanks Alex! Good idea! It does seem kinda nuts that there're over 1100 members and only 1 % of them are posting! Bunch of lurkers....

Alex, I started a blog but couldn't post to it after the first session, so maybe someone could look at that. I really like the new iPad app but I can't figure put how to post without quoting someone (like I did here). I'm sure I could erase the quote but am I missing something? Linda

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
