Smitty74 29 Posted November 13, 2020 I want to take a second to say THANK YOU to each and every one of you. From the Debbie Downers all the way up to the Positive Peters... you all give advice and knowledge on a topic that you can't just talk to anyone about. We are all in the trenches TOGETHER. In a way we become a unit/family that relies on each other. We don't always say what people want to hear...we go one step further and say what people NEED TO HEAR!!! I think that is the most important thing. We all know that because we are rowing in the same direction....we will have a support system to lean on when things get tough. I go in on Wednesday. I am very optimistic about what the future holds for me. A lot of that is because of the people in these forums. So.... THANK YOU!!! 7 2 2 JoanneLaRusch, AZhiker, ChubRub and 8 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deb9386 110 Posted November 13, 2020 I agree - thanks to all who've taken the time & trouble to reply to my queries! This forum has been so helpful to me - I don't know anybody who's had wls and the hospital I went to is a 2 hour drive away, so no support group locally at all. Good luck with your surgery - I dreaded mine, but it's been such a positive experience. 1 Smitty74 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
