So, I joined the "Thinner Times Forum" which is a forum specifically having to do with weight-loss surgeries.* Pre-Op, Post Op, etc. I have found a few interesting posts, such as what people wish they would have known Pre-Op to people's opinions now that they are 2 or 3 years Post-Op. Some of the stories are heartwarming, a couple made me cry (I'm a sap!) and a few shocked me. All in all, it has been a great resource and I think it is something that will be a great support in the days, weeks and months to come.
*My understanding is you don't have to HAVE weight-loss surgery to join, you can also be the family, friend, significant other, etc. to be part of the forum. :)
About Me
- Summer
- Calgary, Alberta, Canada
- I love to meet new people. I have done a bit of travelling and I look forward to doing more once I am completely finished school. In June 2007 I graduated with a BA in Music with a minor in Kinesiology and english. I intend to get my BEd and possibly my MA in Music in Musicology of Popular or Rock’n’Roll Music. I LOVE to sing and I play clarinet and I played in the U of L Wind Orchestra from 2004-2007. I LOVE to swim and I used to teach swimming. I used to work at Camp Chestermere and I was the lead instructor for Photojournalism. We organized the weekly “newspaper” and the children would write the stories and take the pictures. I edited everything and published it. I was also a counsellor. It made the weeks busy but fun! I want to be a teacher and it helped prep me for that! I am a member of Scouting, specifically a part of the Knights of the Westwind. We run and attend camps and activities and so far I enjoy it. I am having weight-loss surgery in January of 2009 and I'm nervous and excited, all at the same time!
