I want to meet Alex! I just love people who change the world in little ways by doing big things...

I've never referred so many people to one website in my life and I own 2 of my own. In these days and times of overweight being the norm, so many people want change and don't know how to attain it. So many people can be changing their lives if they only had the proper knowledge, insight, support and the forums to get all their questions answered. They need real people to talk/write to not just publications from doctors. This was the greatest thing ever and my family and close friends appreciate my ability to feel at home and at peace here since my associates never knew how to respond.

This surgery was never a personal goal for me, it was an option from my Dr. and yet, it's become the most important thing in my life at this time. Apparently misery likes company but since I refuse to offer mine, I now have 4 people starting the process who use to think they knew all there was to know and now they know that Gastric Bypass is not your only option other than tummy tucks.

I'm happy to be able to share knowledge and help people better their lives in any way and this website should be Award Winning!! I am proud to be a member and truly love my new girlfriends/sleeve buddies that I've met on here. I've met friends for life on this site and love to advocate for our community.

All this and haven't even been approved yet..smh...lol.

It really is great. I met friends here online that turned into meetings in person and now our husbands are friends and my single friends with not alot of support, we attend Nutritionist meetings and seminars and support groups together. It's just nice to have a whole community who understands whatever day you may be having...I'm appreciative!

That is so cool!! I don't really know that i have found anyone in my area, but I am happy to just hang out in here when I can. The people are phenominal!! I love it that you are so in touch!!

I am so happy when I found this app. I give it out to people who are thinking of coming to the light. I was scared of by pass because as a nurse I have taken care of a good number of people who had it go wrong. Not that it's all bad and I know people who it worked for. One I work with she went from 300 plus pounds to 130 and was able to have 2 more kids in the last 4 years. Her oldest was18 when she had her second! Weight kept her from getting pregnant. But back to me I just was worried about by pass for myself. My come to Jesus monument was when I found out the sleeve. I was going to do a lap band but was again not a fan with the percentage of failure. I got sleeved on 5/1/13 at 310 I am now 175 as of this week. I have my live back and I am down to 2 pills from 7. I am no longer on any type 2 meds. I am only taking synthroid and Lipitor. The Lipitor is only because my Dad died of a heart attack at 41. Long story short I am more alive now then I have been in the last 10!
