Long Termers

[widdershins]

Right, Im going to put my tuppence worth in now...

Yes! we NEED a long-termers section! Us newbies/pre-oppers need all the advice, your experiences etc so we can make an informed choice.
We need to know what the future holds.
We, in turn, would like to support our fellows, even if its a suggestion, or a virtual hug, or a kick up the bum - whatever is needed.
Please, can we stop all the "you're picking on me" twaddle, and actually implement some of the suggestions, which, are relevant and will only improve what is already an invaluable resource.

I will PM moderator.

Thank you to everyone who has sent messages and offered suggestions.

Can I suggest that for now you use the following sections of the forum for long term threads:

For general threads, this area was created in 2010

Six Months Post Op - WLSurgery.com - Weight Loss Surgery Support

There is also a six months plus post op section under the bypass, band and sleeve sections for more specific post op threads.

I will create a sticky and move and rename this thread under the general one. If these become well used then I will consult with the other mods and admin about maybe creating another section, if it is felt there is still a need.

I look forward to reading the threads!

I would just like to say that having 2 buscopan tablets on a morning has settled my tummy down thank goodness if thats what it takes thats what I will do for now anyway. We had a wls meeting today in darlington 10 people cam and they all enjoyed it, 3 of us were post oppers 2 bypass and 1 sleeve, 2 had balloons and the other were waiting, 1 gent is having his op on 13th, they really enjoyed finding out information that we could help with and the advice we could give from our first hand experience was well worth the meet. before we left the meeting which we just met in a coffee shop, someone asked if we could meet up again so we are meeting on the 1st dec so must be doing something right xx

Thats great Chrisa face to face meetings are the icing on the cake especially when you can actually see how people change and approach life post op and prepare pre-op. Different wls being there can only enrich and improve this. Well done you I wish I lived closer I'd be there in a flash, perhaps a road trip for the summer
