What are the Best Websites for WLS Advice?

  • Besides this one, of course!!
    I want to do more research on the sleeve and am looking for the best, mostly impartial sites. I read the forum on ObesityHelp. Is that a good one? I am sort of distracted by the ads.

    Last night, I went to a local support group for WLS and met a lovely group of ladies who all had the sleeve done. I got a lot of my questions answered. Right now, I am so excited about the prospect that I can't sit down. I am just waiting for some fly to land in the ointment. I know that I must be very patient and accept that it is a long process.

    Thanks All,

  • ObesityHelp is a good one, however I have come to love the site LivingAfterWLS. This women has been there done that and is so full of great advice and knowledge. I hope you check it out. All of the members are so encouraging and have either had surgery or are, like you, searching for help and answers.
  • OH is good. Also, here is a recent article in Bariatric Times.

    This site also has sleevies: Thinner Times
  • Thanks all!! These sites are really fantastic.

  • The Other Place I like besides this one is BariatricTV.com its very irreverent but great ppl info and fun
  • If you're looking for impartial information, I suggest reading through some studies. Many abstracts can be found for free on PubMed.
