In the further adventures towards a possible weight loss surgery (WLS), I received “health history form” from the doctors at the Bariatric clinic. It’s 15 pages of questions and such asking me about everything from alergies and current medications to family health issues and eating patterns, including questions on my psychological and social history. Oh, I did get to skip most of one page that was devoted to “female” stuff.

Support is about give and take

There’s not enough time in the day for me to keep up with all the reading I like to do online… be it the WLS forums, paintball, tech stuff, food and cooking. Now you add in YouTube videos from all the WLS people I’m getting to know through twitter and such… and it’s… cripes… I need to win the lottery so I can do nothing but exercise and browse online.

Speaking of YouTube, I’ve contacted a few WLS type dudes on there to see if any would be interested in contributing stuff to the FFD site.

Support Groups – What Are They?

Category : daily life

There’s been a bit of a discussion on the BTV forums about support groups… and I happened to take workshop for support group facilitators last week… so I thought I would touch on a few things I took from that class here and there.

I’ve been going to a support group at least twice a month since a couple months before my surgery.. hmm.. about a year now.

Maybe the first thing to look at is just what a support group is, according to Merriam-Webster; “a group of people with common experiences and concerns who provide emotional and moral support for one another”.
