    Lightbulb Hi I'm New Here & Looking For Help!

    Can you help me???
    I’m a grad student who is doing my thesis research in the bariatric community because it’s one of the most underrepresented populations in research. I’ve been trying since September to get people who have had weight loss surgery to take this survey. I need at least 500 participants, but I’ve only had 200 people attempt to take the survey and HALF of those people skipped questions… so their answers won’t be counted!
    This research is interested in YOUR experiences of your body and physical activity after weight loss surgery. The only requirements is that you have to be at least 18 years old and you have to have had some form of bariatric surgery. Not only would you be helping me graduate from college, but you would also be helping this community by making sure the bariatric population’s experiences are showing up in the research and not going ignored!
    If you’re open to sharing your experience, and willing to take the anonymous survey, please comment to let me know! Because I'm new here, it won't allow me to post the link (But it is in my bio!!)
    If you’re willing to share this survey with friends, that would mean more than you’ll ever know! Thank you for reading & hope to find some willing participants. ��

    So where's the survey? But I wonder how you could trust your data, as the people who do well would be more likely to take the surgery than the people who did poorly? I would love to know the actual success to failure rate.

    Good morning. I took the survey and answered all questions. I’ll say this: my answers now and my answers pre-surgery would be VERY different. Good luck with grad school and your research �� I’m in my final semester of grad school myself! The light is in sight! ��

    Send me the link and I’ll take a look. I know what you mean about being underserved. Look forward to seeing what the survey looks like.
