Jaye W 219 Posted May 27, 2021 Wow. I ventured into what I thought was another support group on Facebook for bariatric patients and was really offended by the snarky admins there. Makes me glad I found this group. It is good to hear direct comments, but no need to be so rude in delivery. 5 Alex Brecher, lizonaplane, Luna Girl and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kristieshannon 1,668 Posted May 27, 2021 Welcome! I’ve found this group to be incredibly supportive. There’s the occasional asshat that joins in, but they seem to realize pretty quickly they won’t get any traction here. 1 Luna Girl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaye W 219 Posted May 27, 2021 I have been here a while, just appreciating it after a little time in the other group Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HealthyLifeStyle 351 Posted May 27, 2021 I have been here now for 9 months and honestly don't know what I would do without this group. Most people have been extremely supportive and knowledgeable. I haven't encountered any rude people or rude comments at all. Sometimes I am on here all day commenting, and other days I just read and it makes me feel better. Thank you to everyone on here. 4 blackcatsandbaddecisions, Luna Girl, lizonaplane and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catwoman7 11,220 Posted May 27, 2021 I haven't joined any of the Facebook groups - I've heard too many negative things about a lot of them. This forum overall is very good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lizonaplane 1,613 Posted May 27, 2021 I agree. I've gotten so much out of this group as I prepare for surgery. It's been such a slow process but this group keeps me focused. 1 phillylaz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GummyBearQueen 115 Posted May 27, 2021 I would be lost without this app. Seriously. Everyone is great and so supportive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShoppGirl 5,003 Posted June 2, 2021 I agree. I have found that I check this po for notifications before I check my text messages sometimes. Sorry friends and family. Lol 1 lizonaplane reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jen2020MGB 26 Posted June 2, 2021 Another great thread! This is the only place I go for advice or to share wls experiences. I joined a bunch of Facebook groups when I first had surgery, but they turned out to be dreadful places and I always came away feeling terrible about everything! The support and encouragement offered here has been invaluable for me and I'm sure many others. 🤍 1 lizonaplane reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
