I am so glad its Friday people and I was just looking over some posts and responses and I realized I am really grateful for this forum.  It is so important to have the free exchange of ideas on such serious topics- WLS no matter what the type- is nothing to sneeze at!  I'm grateful for the honest unbiased feedback I have gotten here since I joined and the fact that someone is always willing to answer a question or offer heartfelt advice.   I'm just grateful that this can be a safe place to come share experiences, thoughts on wls, encourage one another in our struggles, and celebrate on goals achieved.  It's certainly helped me along in my decision to get "banded"!  Happy Friday!
