Do you feel it is "private" enough in here?

This is NOT a shot at the other thread at all, I was just curious how comfortable you feel sharing our struggles in here, with it being open, and being google-able?

Hm, haven't thought about it.

I have thought about having my picture up... with just my name though, it seems private enough. It's when we add identifying information where it gets questionable. :)

Well, I admit I'm not sorry I don't know how to put a picture up. I guess I should remind myself that it's not like OA where people are honor bound to respect your anonymity. It doesn't get much less private than the web! I just hope that anything I post would be of use to others. I can't think of any reason anyone that isn't in the same boat would be interested.

No, I don't think it's private enough. However, when I was researching the Lap Band, this site popped up. I will be forever grateful that happened as I love it here and wouldn't have all of you!

I doubt I'll ever post a pic.

Well its no more or less private then any other place online really. And as long as you don't post identifying information it shouldn't be an issue. Now while I don't mind having a photo or two online, if you not comfortable with that then don't :)

I feel if I am going to talk on an online forum and the fact that I'm going to be having weight loss surgery anyway...that I shouldn't be very private. I have to be open to everyone I'm talking to and with what I'm learning so why not be open on here too...

Turler · 05-17-2008, 11:11 AM

Yeah, I don't mind the talking part either. I just wouldn't put my face or any identifying things on here. If I ever do put a pic on here, I'd probably black out my face or something.

Anyway, to each his own!
