**FOBI POUCH WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY FOR OBESITY** THIS GROUP IS FOR PATIENTS OF THE FOBI POUCH, AND IS NOT A DIRECT LINE TO THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE. OPINIONS ARE MERELY THOSE OF THE PARTICIPANTS, AND DO NOT REPRESENT THE FOBI CLINIC. Membership for this list is private and each application for membership will be screened. This is to protect the confidentiality of this list. Please do not send SPAM to the list or to list members. Please make every attempt to stay on topic, which is weight loss surgery. As with all lists, there should be no flaming of other members, no unwanted private email between members, and no "contests" between who has the better surgeon, or who has the better procedure. Remember: everyone is different. Some might not be able to afford the Rolls Royce, when their insurance only offers the Toyota. Also, for those who have lost weight, and perhaps met their goal, please be mindful that if you refer to obese people as “huge”, or in other possibly derogatory terms (even in referring to your former self), there are people on this list who have not had surgery yet, and some who have, and may not have met goal. Choose your words carefully, they may be hurtful. Finally, this is a list for support. We get beat up enough by the outside world, we don't need to do it to each other. Healthy disagreement is fine, but if it becomes too intense, you may be asked to take it "outside". By joining this list, you agree to these guidelines and the desire to make this a comfortable, educational, and loving place for sharing this common experience.
