I know somebody who just moved from DC to Denver. She's been fighting with her weight for a while (maybe all her life) and has finally decided to look into surgery. She blogged about this and got some pretty harsh comments back that totalled to "eat less, exercise more."

I have left a few comments explaining my experience and trying to support her through what is just the first step - tryign to find out about surgery. If you guys could go and show her some support too, it would be awesome and I'll owe you one 8-)

Good Morning I will try to help in any way I can. I am no surgery expert as I have not had surgery but I have been reading and listening to others. I can only say what I have heard but I would never discourage her.... Just let me know how to help....                           Julie

Thanks Julie, just read her entries and any of the replies and comment as you fel fit. I have been the only one commenting on her blog who's had the surgery herself so hearing from people who're considering it/have had it might help her.

Good morning.  I would love to go to her blog and help her however I can not access the site from work.  I get a little forgetful sometimes.  If I remember when I get home I will go on this evening.   

Whom ever said that people who have WLS are taking the easy way out, have never had this experience.  This is a journey and a major challenge.  Step by step I am striving to make it as a loser!!
