THIS IS FROM ANOTHER FORUM

"IS THERE A SYMBOL TO REPRESENT THE WLS?"

THAT IS A VERY GOOD QUESTION!  MAYBE WE ALL PUT TOGETHER IDEAS AND VOTE?  THEN PASS THE WORD AROUND TO ALL WLS PATIENTS?  I WOULD NOT HAVE A TATTOO BUT, IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A SYMBOL FOR WLS ON CARDS, LETTERS, ETC.

Quite a few post ops I know, have gotten the tattoo of a butterfly, as a "tramp stamp" (right above your butt cheeks) to signify the metamorphosis we go through. First we're the Caterpillar, then we blossom as the butterfly! I think it's an awesome idea, but I haven't had the courage to go through with it yet....

I WOULD NOT HAVE A TATTOO AT ALL.  I JUST FELT IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A SYMBOL WE CAN USE ON CARDS, LETTERS, ETC.

once upon a time someone used a tape measure to make a ribbon ( like the breast cancer ribbons ya know?) was cute

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

I DID NOT KNOW THAT!  THANK YOU FOR SENDING IT.  I WONDER IF THERE ARE OTHERS. LIKE A BUTTERFLY, ETC.?

IT IS A NICE ONE, ISN'T IT?  IT DOES NOT SPECIFY TYPE OF WLS.  JUST SIMPLY WHAT WLS IS FOR.  ANYHOW, ibeanieb FROM THE RNY FORM SENT IT TO ME SAYING HER FRIEND "anniep" FROM THE NC FORUM MADE IT.  YOU CAN CONTACT HER AND ASK.

The yellow tape measurer is the symbol of the Walk From Obesity.  If you'd like to see it, you can go to their website:

I am sure that her specific design is being trademarked but the awareness symbol itself with out the little bar with the 'inch at a time' is probably fair game. But AnnieP59 is the one you want to PM about getting one. I am pretty sure she can ship it to Canada but the postage is a little more.
