Good Morning. What do you love about the LW board?

Ok, I guess you can also list what you don't love but I'm trying to keep it positive.

1) All surgery types are welcomed and encouraged.

2) We don't flame first and ask questions second.

3) We have fun and laugh with each other.

4) We are easily forgiven.

I love how we celebrate each others successes and help each other through the challenges...even if they aren't WLS related.

Everyone here is SO accepting! And has such great sense of humors :)
Not to mention you feel incredibly welcome and just know that there
is a ton of support :)
LW's rock like a diamond! :D

No question too silly to not need an answer.

No accomplishment too small to not need acknowledgement.

A great sense of support and the common good with plenty of room for individual differences.

I love the people!

I love that you are much much much more likely to understand something that feels quite pressing to me, that others just won't get

I love the intentionality around the board

I love the wide mix of people's experiences and philosophies

I love the reflectiveness

I love the accountability, which works for me

YOU Gina! 

The non-judgemental part of the board

The unwaivering support

Being able to discuss other things besides food, surgery, weight, etc.

I feel everyone here is a close friend. 

Being able to meet some of my fellow LW's on trips

I LOVE all the positive energy.....everyone is so helpful and friendly!

I appreciate the NON-COMPETITIVENESS.....none of the "my surgery is better than yours", or "I'm losing more/faster than you"...we are all completing our OWN, unique journey-

Love the geniuneness of the people---I truly pray for and think about each of you that post on this board.  I would love to meet some of you in person some day...

Peyton, I would love to make a trip back to Madison one day, but don't know when it will be.  We used to come there for some training at the library, but it has been a couple of years.

If you ever get near SW Georgia, let me know.
