Need help getting back in the saddle...try OSSG Off Track

[Guest guest]

Hi Kids!!

You may have already heard about this new Yahoo email

group, but I think it's great idea for those of us

post-ops who have fallen off the saddle or got stuck

in the WLS quicksand that I wanted to be a pest and

pass the word to everyone I knew.

Here's a description of the group:

" An email list for those of us who have had life

altering weight loss surgery, but have found that we

have gotten off track. We want to get back on the band

wagon and stick with it. This list is geared toward

post ops who seem to have lost as much weight as

they can but still have not achieved their goal and/or

have had a regain after hitting a low weight. We will

not tolerate flaming or spam on this list. We are here

to share our experience, strength and hope in an

effort to help ourselves and if by doing so we help

others along the way, that is a bonus. This list is

for anyone who has had any weight loss surgery

Including, but not limited to, the RNY, ALB, VBG, BPD

or BPD/DS, and any other surgical intervention that

was intended to help combat morbid obesity. "

Basically it is a group where you can find friendship,

fellowship and support. Where you don't have to sit

and suffer in silence as the numbers on the scale

start to go up or fail to go down. There are no

failures here...only family with lots of unconditional

love to go around.

So come on over and play with us in our playground.

We'd love to meet new people. We have a slide, jungle

gym, merry go round, and sandbox. We also have an ice

cream man come by every afternoon that sells yummy

sugar-free ice cream sandwiches and popsicles.

To join us, you can email:

OSSG_Off_track-subscribe

or go to the website:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OSSG_Off_track/

If you know anyone who might be interested in this

group, pass the word. This group isn't trying to steal

folks, just trying to reach out to people that feel

alone or unsupported.
