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 ON CARDS, LETTERS, ETC.

* Our family is a circle of love and strength. With every birth and every union, the circle grows. Every joy shared adds more love. Every obstacle faced together makes the circle stronger. The love of a family is life's greatest blessing.

Actually the magnet you see is only half that size and the pins are about the same size as a breast cancer awareness pin.

As a matter of fact she has had them made into keychains, lapel pins and fridge magnets. The pic you see above is a scan of the fridge magnet and it is actually a little smaller in real life. Her story is awesome and her design says a lot. For instance it says to me that its not so much the pounds we lose but the inches. She doesn't charge very much for them. I think about $5.00 plus shipping. Her username is anniep59 on OH.

I've always thought it should be a Phoenix rising from the ashes, since we are becoming new versions of ourselves.

I was given a real pretty dragonfly that is supposed to symbolize transformation.

I think the butterfly is a good idea too, I know that a lot of people mention feeling like a butterfly as they come out of the cocoon.  Could make several pretty symbols, the phoenix one is a good one too.  :)
