Bariatric Surgery

The description of our board is pretty broad and allows for anyone with any curiosity or experience to discuss WLS.  But I'd love to see us also use it to support each other as we live with our various surgeries and issues with Weight Loss. That said, things are very quiet around here and I worry that we may be asked to close the board.  This has not been suggested, but it is a valid fear.

So, mostly for you post-ops, please let me know what you think by considering the following:

What kind of support would you like to see in this online community?
What topics should we be addressing and/or researching?
What would make you come back to this board frequently?
What are you looking for when you come to this board?  What are you hoping to find?
Do you belong to any other email lists or web boards that discuss WLS?  Are they fairly busy? Are they a good resource for you? If so, what do you think makes them valuable to their members?

NOTE: Please do not share the URLs or names of the email lists here.  While this board is meant to be a resource, we can not encourage people to leave our board to join another.

Things have been really quiet around here and I would hate to see us lose this board because I believe it can be an awesome resource.

Thanks!
