| Welcome to the ThinnerTimes - Gastric Bypass and Lap Band® Forum. |
|
Thinner Times Forum is an online discussion forum and social network for gastric bypass, Lap Band, and weight loss surgery patients. Weight loss surgery is a major decision that requires motivation, emotional support, and friendship. Whether you have already undergone weight loss surgery or if you are just starting out on your journey, feel free to search or join the Thinner Times Forum. It includes discussion threads, social groups, photo albums, and blogs, where you can ask questions and share your hopes, feelings, and experiences.
Thinner Times Forum is a free service provided and funded by Charles D. Callery, M.D., a bariatric surgeon from San Diego, California. Having performed more than 3,000 gastric bypass and lap band procedures, Dr. Callery has developed advanced techniques to reduce surgical complications, and has established comprehensive pre and post-operative support programs (including TT Forum).
TT is a supportive community; some may even call it a family. We hope you participate and enjoy your stay, and please let us know if there’s anything we can do to make the community a more enjoyable place. Join us today!
