Welcome EVERYONE - before or after surgery. We specialize in life after Weight Loss Surgery (WLS). We opened July 30, 1999. 2012 is our 13th year!

NO FLAMING OR ADVERTISING ALLOWED. NO VIRUS SCARES, URBAN MYTHS or CHAIN LETTERS. Just WLS-related issues, thanks.

We filter spam, so you must be approved to join. We're not exclusive, just don't want ads or worse here. We're protective of our members, ads that sneak in are removed asap.

PLEASE PARTICIPATE!

* Give a brief intro of your WLS experience.

* Put your home page and/or relevant URLs into our LINKS section.

* Check our PHOTOS-add your own! LIMIT 3 per person because we've run out of space in the past. More than 3 risks removal at our discretion, sorry.

* Use MESSAGE SEARCH to find topics of interest to you.

* Join our DATABASES-Mentor list, Clothing Exchange Flea Market.

* Upload/download recipes and articles to our FILES section - text or PDFs

**When Replying to a post, REMOVE AS MUCH TEXT AS POSSIBLE FROM THE PRIOR POST. Many members get posts as email, 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 automatically receive POUCH RULES FOR DUMMIES from our Files section. It's post #13610 if you're not a member. This document contains THE POUCH TEST. It's information, not gospel.

OUR MEMBERS ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE. YOU ALL MAKE THIS GROUP THE SUCCESS THAT IT IS. THANK YOU!
