    Default New to me: new idea

    Hi There~
    This is my first time posting, can anyone help me to know if this site is legit? or any feedback regarding Weightlossagents.com?
    The site seems so 'advertis-y' that it seems fake?
    Thanks!

    Legit site, probably sponsored by a weight loss surgeon in Mexico, however they don't get involved at all except for the little advertisement you see at the top of the page. People here have had surgery from all over the world, me in the states. I know nothing about Weightlossagents, but someone here probably does.

    I find this site really helpful, especially if you are new and have questions or concerns. Welcome!

    Hi.
    Totally legit.
    I'm in New Zealand and had my surgery here. Don't know anything about Weightlossagents.
    There are lots of great people here who support each other.

    The great majority of us who post on this board had our WLS done in the US and paid for through their various insurance policies.

    There are others here from Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Africa, Asia, etc.

    There are also some here who paid for their own surgery here in the US.

    So yes, it's "legit" in that way. I've been on this board over 5 years, and I've only very rarely encountered anyone who sounded like a salesperson posing as a patient. Actually, I don't think I've seen a post like that in over two years here.

    Best wishes.

    Very legit. Of course there will be advertisements as that is how sites work and we do not pay to use this site. I actually found this site by researching the sleeve. I loved the info on the site www.obesitycoverage.com and it said to have a good support system. I love the people on here. Many regulars. Some people post for a while and disappear as they hit goal or sometimes before. Others pop in occasionally. I have been a regular for 2 years and I am by far not the one who has been on here the longest. I plan to stick around as I love being able to help others and also keep up with my fellow sleevers.



  10. Said thanks:
