What and why do you come to this board? Let's talk square biz yall.....
You guys are a HOT !!! SIZZLING MESS!!! I came here for support and encouragement. The rest of this SHOIT is a bonus. The one thing I can say is ain't no suga coating on BAF!!! For me that is a plus. But sometimes I have those WTF? moments when individuals are posting some personal @$$ stuff about their lives. One thing I know now is to stick around and post my WOW moments and not to run and show up to show out. WHEWW!!! you gurrlls are ruff
LOL@ the show up and show out!
I know what you mean - you ain't neva lied!!!!!

To give & receive support when and where I can. I also hope to learn about medical and social issues that are unique to WLS veterans. I hope to piece together information/support from various people to help me through my journey.
I now know that I must "stay connected" with people who are thinking about or have gone through the WLS journey to keep me on track it's not just something I want....... it is something I need to be a success.
Someone mentioned that some people come for a pat on the back then don't give anything. I have always felt that everyone is not capable of "giving" the way others can it's a gift and a calling. It would be worse if people post on the board and are not sincere. I used to get upset because people did not give me the support I gave them but as I've gotten older I've learned people can be "good" people even if they cannot show support to me at the same level I show to them. We are all unique beings.
The laughs and the other stuff are the icing on the cake :)

Change is a Process Not an Event
Pokerchips, i agree with you. This is a very GOOD point. I sometimes feel that I am one of those that cannot always give support or express myself on the board, but I am a talker, I will be happy to have a phone
conversation anyday.
conversation anyday. 
When you devote yourself to achieving your goal, you will not be bothered by shallow criticism.
Imma answer for me and Ro:
Regardless of all the bullschitt and the miserable asse mofo's who have nothing better to do, but chat on the backline about your life and lie about you to make their own sorry asse life and self seem better, the friendships, genuine love, and support is awesome!
I've been here since 2003 and all the fabricated post and lies about me WILL NEVER keep me away nor change who I am EVER.
For those, I will simply use (__

It took me a while to find BAF and boy was I happy when I did. I feel like I finally found a group of people that understand me. I was posting on the main board at first and basically the same questions get asked all the time and that helped me a lot when I was a newbie. But BAF has been able to help me with hair problems, recipes, and I have learned some new phrases, just ask my hubby. lol I love how people are real here and even though I'm a sensitive person I need reality.
I've learned more about life just the little time I've been here than I have in all of my adult life. I've lived a naive, head in the sand type of life and now I'm learning and growing. I also come here to check on people that I really connect with and to give any advice that I may have to offer. Iook forward to meeting many people on BAF. I enjoy the entertainment also.

Hey MM!!!!
I'm here cause I LOVE IT!!!!! I'm a true VET and I ain't going no where. 4+ years and counting. It lets me know that in the worst of my times on this journey - I am never alone. Someone always has the same issue or experience and I am not strange - I am justHUMAN- just like everyone else. I love the laughs, the hugs, the tough love, the BS, the drama, the tears. In this whole big universe there is no other community that understands, feels and shares so much of the same experiences.
We have been fat, obease, super morbidly obease, phat, skinny,and fione all together. We have shared our fears, our shorcomings, our success and our failures together. We experience life from behind colored skin, no matter the color - white chocolate, milk chocolate, dark chocolate from where ever in the world we live. We have been blessed and learned many a life lesson right here on this board - the lesson and the blessing has been quite different for all of us. But for the most part - WE GET IT!!!
I have met some true true sistahs and brothers who may very well be with me for the rest of my life. I have met some folks that I may never communicate with other than on the internet but in my heart I know they are my "true friends" never the less. There are those I would "Kill a Brick" for no matter what - if they needed me I would be right there. I have also come in contact with some folks that I know no matter where we ever crossed paths they would not be my cup of tea - oh well - can't please, like, love, or even tolerate everyone. Sure some feel the same way about me.
I did the support thing early on in a major way. I loved it, embraced it and held the meetings to prove it. Then real life kicked in and I thought I was "regular". Well I'm here to tell you that WE will never be REGULAR and we need BAF and places like it to remind us of it on the regular.
So I am here. I'm always here. I just keep to myself and enjoy the love and the laughs. I share the tears, offer the prayers and applaud everyone when they do their dayumn thang!! I tip my glass and thank BAF for the entertainment and promise that if anyone needs me......I'm here!
