Is there ANYONE here who is NOT getting surgery?

I wish you luck on your nonsurgical weightloss program. Please check in every year and let us know your progress.

Thanks, I will try to. So far 6 months and 20% weight loss. No signs of slowing down, no signs of ever wanting to stop, no cravings to go back to the old way. So I'm psyched!

I lost 120 per cent of my excess weight in under 6 months, almost 14 years ago. Still alive, still normal weight. Looking forward to your regular updates.

Having chili for dinner, just in case you think I'm eating something miserable

I'll take your 6 months, and raise you 15 years :)

I am wondering why people seem to think that length of time has anything to do with anything. So you started earlier, big effing deal. That means nothing.

Congrats on your loss, though!

There are TONS of support groups and resources on the Internet for people who want to lose weight without having surgery.

Heaven forbid there be one or two sites in the vast ocean of online communities that caters to people who have chosen WLS!!

Then why is the site called "Obesity Help" and not "WLS help"?

Because "WLShelp.com" was created in 2002 and not available for the site's founders to use?

Too bad they weren't creative enough to find some other variation. Clearly, "WLShelp" and "Obesityhelp" are the ONLY two POSSIBLE ways to express the concept of "assistance for WLS patients".
