Hi BariatricPal Members!

I have an exciting announcement to make. We are approaching our 3.5 millionth post! That’s right…pretty soon, BariatricPal members are going to be responsible for 3,500,000 posts! I can hardly believe that we are about to hit this milestone, and I thank you, the members, that are responsible for this accomplishment.

BariatricPal had its humble beginnings in July 2003 when I started LapBandTalk. I added VerticalSleeveTalk, RNYTalk, and SleevePlicationTalk and watched the communities grow as members gathered for support, encouragement, and friendships. By the time these original boards combined to form the single BariatricPal community, we had over 225,000 active members. In fact, BariatricPal is now the most trafficked weight loss surgery community on the internet!

This accomplishment would not be possible without such incredible member support and participation. To say “thank you” for what you do for this community and mark this impressive milestone, I am offering a prize to the poster who makes post number 3.5 million! This lucky member will receive a free copy of our soon-to-be released book entitled, “The Big Book on Bariatric Surgery: Living Your Best Life After Weight Loss Surgery.” The book has valuable strategies for losing weight and loving life after weight loss surgery.

The more you post, the better your chances of being poster number 3.5 million and winning the book.

Here’s to the next 3.5 million posts!

Love bariatric pal! Pre-op, weight loss, and at goal, I always learn something new. But I already have the book!

We posted this announcement a bit prematurely

Will the book be available to buy soon also, and where? Thanks

It should be available directly from this site, as well as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iBooks etc. We hope to have it published and available for sale within the next week.

I want to purchase one, but I'm not sure which one I should get! Lap band, sleeve or bypass! Haha!!

Are you offering an e-book? I have to admit, I enjoy reading on my iPad or iPhone, I love reading, but dislike all the space they take up until I re home them!
