Thinner Times Forum is an online discussion forum and social network for gastric bypass, adjustable band, and gastric sleeve 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. The Forum 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 funded by the generous support of many of the Forum members. These include both Sponsors and Friends. The Forum is an educational outreach provided through the bariatric surgery practice of  Charles D. Callery, M.D., in San Diego, California.

Dr. Callery has performed more than 3,000 gastric bypass and lap band procedures. He has developed advanced techniques to reduce surgical complications. He has established comprehensive pre and post-operative education programs including Thinner Times Forum and ThinnerTimes.com.

Thinner Times Forum is a supportive community; some may even call it a family. We hope you participate and enjoy your stay. Please let us know if there’s anything we can do to make the community a more enjoyable place. Join us today!
