Yes, I won a trip to Hawaii and it was awesome!

My major goal/reward for my weight loss is to go back to Hawaii and take surfing lessons. If I could win a free trip it would be even better!

What a fun post! 4,000,000 is a lot! Although, I'm still hoping for the Powerball!! ????????????

I just want to thank Alex and the BariatricPal team for all they have done over the years. This site is truly a blessing to me and countless others.

This site helps keep me focused and motivated, but more importantly has helped keep me alive!!! 2 months ago I couldn't walk to the mailbox without severe back and knee pain as well as becoming quite winded. But now, only 2 months later, I am able to walk up to 9.5 miles per day.

Alex and BariatricPal, you are truly a Godsend. Thanks for everything!!!

Did I win!?

What about now????

I chose not to continue care with my surgeon due to personal differences and continued after care with my PCP. Although my PCP has been great with follow up blood work and so forth, she obviously is no expert on WLS.

I attribute all of my success to this site. Not only have I learned so much over the last couple of years, I have made some amazing and inspirational friends along the way. I can't say thank you enough, Alex, for this wonderful place of knowledge and support.

I once won $10,000 worth of furniture! I would have rather gone to Hawaii

Did you have to pay taxes on your prize?? We did

Has anyone won yet?

I love how people can get together and be supportive of one another! Im so thankful I found this app!!

Wow 4 million, that really is amazing! Having BariatricPal as a support on this journey and being able to converse with others in the same boat, or on the same road I should say is an invaluable experience. I would not trade it.

And it has a tendency to be addictive as well.

Yes, I paid taxes on it and it was worth every penny.

I would LOVE to win furniture, especially if I could pick it out.

I am going to need a new bed/mattress set soon so that would be an awesome prize. If anyone knows of a drawing for one let me know.

Some other biggish prizes I've won are: a rug, a tv, and basketball tickets.

I won a box of toys one time that supplied me with birthday and Christmas presents for quite a while.

I did win plane tickets but by the time I got them the window to use them was so narrow I never was able to plan a trip. I still had to pay taxes on those which was a bummer.

I am pretty selective about what enter to win lately to make sure it's something I really want or could use.

The furniture was from a model home, so it was pretty nice and actually my style Then a year or so later we were in Jackpot, Nevada and I hit a $4,000 jackpot on a slot machine.

I thought I was pretty lucky, but you take the cake!

The one and only time I played slot machines I played until I lost my $20 and then quit. I only place $2 bets at the horse races. Something tells me that gambling isn't for me. I'll stick to sweepstakes!

I won a 3 month trip to Hawaii!!! Well not exactly, I did a 3 month contract in Hawaii and I worked. People called it a "working vacation" people are also stupid.
