So…. you may notice it gets a bit quiet around here from time to time. See, I’m just one dude with an idea. There are a ton of great WLS related sites out there, with more popping up all the time. I think some of the best are the more personal sites, done by patients, talking about their experiences, sharing ideas, etc.
The vast majority of WLS patients are women, so it’s a given that most of the sites out there are by women. No big deal, I’ve gotten to know a ton of great women through their sites and twitter and various forums. But sometimes, a dude just needs to hear it from another dude. Thus, my idea for formerfatdudes.com came about.
But even tho I’m a dude, I’m not sure I’m your typical WLS type… and likely there isn’t even one. I can give you MY perspective on things, but I’m not the end-all and be-all of WLS dudes. That’s where YOU come in.
Saw you on the before and after chat board. Very proud to “meet” another former fat due that speaks his mind and shares his experiences. You are welcome to link to my blog if you like, but it seems you are much more active online that me. I’m trying to get better with that. Good luck on the Warrior…i just signed up for my first triathlon (a short one) and still in training for a full 26.2 in Jan 2012. Ran a half marathon this Jan and will do another on in November to get prepared.
