Welcome EVERYONE - before or after surgery - but we specialize in life after Weight Loss Surgery (WLS). 2009 is our 10th year! We opened July 30, 1999.
NO ARGUMENTS OR ADVERTISING ALLOWED, but tell us about products you'd recommend to friends. NO VIRUS SCARES, URBAN MYTHS or CHAIN LETTERS. Just WLS-related issues, thanks.
To filter spam, you must be approved. We're not exclusive, just don't want advertising or worse. We're protective of our members, new member posts are moderated, ads are removed asap.
PLEASE PARTICIPATE!
* Give a brief intro of your WLS experience.
* Put your home page and/or relevant URLs in our LINKS section.
* Check our PHOTOS-add your own! LIMIT 3 because we've run out of space in the past. More than 3 risks their removal at our discretion, sorry.
* Use MESSAGE SEARCH to find issues of interest to you. Chances are we have discussed those topics.
* Put your name in DATABASES-Mentor list, Clothing Exchange Flea Market.
* Upload/download recipes and articles to our FILES section - text or PDFs
**Put your Reply at the TOP of a post. REMOVE AS MUCH TEXT AS POSSIBLE FROM THE PRIOR POST. Many members get posts as e-mail, and that's too much text to read. Yahoo puts an ad in every post. Ads take up room, we must tolerate them, sorry.
New members receive Pouch Rules for Dummies from our Files section. It's post #13610 if you're not a member. It's advice, not gospel.
OUR MEMBERS ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE. YOU ALL MAKE THIS GROUP THE SUCCESS THAT IT IS. THANK YOU!
-Victoria 'Vic' Stevens - Founder
