Basically, Lightweights are people whose BMI is "around" 40 and who have "around" 100 lbs. to lose...

If you wanna be here, you are welcome here. I think that's one of the between the lines guidelines.

I can attest to the 'nice' part. And it's wonderful to have a place to come to where people don't look at your funny and say you're 'too skinny' to have WLS.
