Streamline Surgical Forum

The Streamline Surgical forum is an online bulletin board and discussion site for our patients and anyone else trying to lose weight. It is an environment in which people can talk about their journey so far, and share their experiences with other people going through the same process. For each stage of the journey, pre-surgery, post-surgery, the first six months and beyond, our forum offers a space for people to discuss how they feel, and talk to people that know and understand what they are going through.

Registration for the forum is free, after which you can make post new threads, reply to other peoples' threads, send private messages, create albums of pictures and set up a contact list so you can see which of your friends are online.

          Do you know an eatery where they willingly allow smaller portions (and prices) if you have had WLS? Do they willingly modify recipes upon request? Do they offer tasty but healthy options which don't sabotage your eating plan?
