Bariatric websites

[mae7365 372]

I often see posts/replies on this website where members say they are also on other bariatric sites. Are there other bariatric forums similar to BaraitricPal, and if so, would anyone recommend joining other sites? If so, which ones?

I've been on obesityhelp.com about as long as I've been on this one. It's not nearly as active as this one, but there seem to be a lot more "vets" on it. There's also American Bariatrics, although I haven't spent that much time on that one. There's one more that's escaping me at the moment (haven't spend much time on that one, either) - if I remember it I'll come back and update.

I just googled bariatric forums - the one I was thinking of is Thinner Times.

That's an interesting question. I had never thought about there being more bariatric sites out there. This one was listed in the literature as helpful resources at my surgeon's office, so that's how I found out about it.

yea - we were told about this one and obesity help, so I signed up for those right away. I stumbled across the other two I mentioned on my own, but I almost never go to those.

I was on ObesityHelp in the very beginning but stopped as this forum seems to be much more active.

There are also Facebook groups that I have read others are members on....
