These are all nice things to do, but I'm thinking about the WLS patients who need vitamins and protein supplements that may have been impacted by the storm.

I wish I could do something for them, because as hard as it is to live life with WLS and get what you need, and make the medical professionals understand, the storm's impact makes all that ten times harder, especially getting the vites and supplements!

How about some of the advertisers on this site send some protein and supplements to the tornado zone?

I know there's got to be a good number of WLS patients in and around Texas, maybe all the way through the tornado zone, into Missouri, Kansas and other states.
