You, my friend, are an exceptional person. When I first started this journey it was your posts that educated, encouraged and enlightened me. Still, when my road is rocky, your direct and kind words get me back on my path. Thank you for being an amazing mentor!

Baci to you Bella.

Oh my gosh, I am completely overwhelmed with all of your messages of support.

Thank YOU, all of you. As much as my sticking around all of these years may help others (and I sure hope it does), it helps ME. By offering support to others, it keeps my head in the WLS-game. The friendship and love that exists here is beyond what I could have ever hoped for when I started reaching out for support prior to my own surgery in 2006.

And it continues. And WE continue and carry on together.

Much love and admiration,

Karen XO
