tbmichals 12 Posted October 21, 2015 I am a very private person. I am a little concerned about the private Facebook group. I understand that as long as the group is marked secret it stays private, but at any point the creator could mark it public, in error or whatever. Also, when the group is closed it becomes public as well. What is the big push to move off of this forum to have the same conversations? I am surprised so many have moved over to Facebook, and I feel like I am missing a piece of this puzzle. Is the thought that since it's a group, when someone posts it'll show up in your news feed? I'm just confused...I am catching up after several days. There are a ton of posts telling people to join the Facebook group. I was confused as to why also.

HopeandAgony 566 Posted October 22, 2015 Time is moving very slow and it's so hard to focus on anything else. I wondered if it was just me. I've started to count down mini milestones that give me something to look forward to. For example, I after today I only have 16 days of work left. It's not huge but it does help.

fabnsab 19 Posted October 23, 2015 Facebook is just more convenient because I'm there already for a few groups. I'm also on Instagram. There's a ton of support and info there! I'm @fab_vsg there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dcs3473 5 Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Well it has finally come. I got my date of Nov 3rd. Can't believe they just called me a week ago stating they have the paperwork and they are ready to go. They scheduled all my tests and appointments but forgot to tell me I need to start my liquid diet TOMORROW. Glad I had this forum to keep me on track.
