Hey Everyone!

Congratulations! We did it! BariatricPal now has 3.5 million posts!

How much is 3.5 million?

• If you skipped 1 calorie every time someone made a post, you would lose 1,000 pounds.


• If you posted once per second, it would take you 40 days to hit 3.5 million posts.


• If you took one step for each of 3,500,000 posts, you would walk 700 miles.

Okay, these are cute statistics, but hitting the 3.5-million mark truly is meaningful. It shows how much of a pillar we are for the weight loss surgery community, and it also shows how loyal and wonderful our members are.

We Have a Winner!

A couple of weeks ago, to thank you for your participation on BariatricPal, we announced that the member who made post number 3.5 million would get a prize. Congratulations to our winner, @LindafromFlorida ! You will receive a copy of “The Big Book on Bariatric Surgery: Living Your Best Life After Weight Loss Surgery”. Thanks for being a member of BariatricPal, and enjoy your book!

Don't worry if you weren't our lucky 3.5 millionth poster and book winner. The book is currently available as a hard copy or eBook exclusively via Amazon. In 90 days it will be also be available to everyone as a hard copy and as an eReader on BariatricPal and other major book sellers.

Thanks to All BariatricPal Members...

We only gave out one prize, but we realize that we could not have accomplished this mark without you. Thank you for your contributions throughout the years as BariatricPal has grown from its humble beginnings in 2003. BariatricPal members keep the forums popular and dependable.

Here’s to Another 3.5 Million Posts!

Now that we have hit the 3.5 million landmark, what does the future hold? Another 3.5 million, we expect! Keep dropping by for advice and conversation, and you will help us maintain our ranking as the most visited online weight loss surgery community in the world!

A sincere thank-you from the bottom of my heart.
