Your story and home page

[Guest guest]

Greetings Gang,

While I'm here let me make a request of you.

Any of you who have created a web site about the your Weight Loss Surgery

story

deserve to get the word out to as many people as possible.

The honest reflections from a post-op WLS patient is very good information

for someone

who needs to decide if WLS is for them.

I researched as best as possible before making my mind up. A year and a half

ago there

were very few personal home pages popping up in the search engines for me to

look at.

But look I did. Some stories were encouraging and some were vague. But now

the World

Wide Web is a true tool of investigation that more and more morbidly obese

people are

using to gather information before they have WLS. And even more so, post-op

patients

are out there looking for help after their surgery.

So with this in mind I have decided to devote part of my web site to you, my

friends here

at the OSSG. Please send me the URL to your personal web sites. I will add

all URL's to

my Links Page and Each Month I will choose one site that is regularly updated

to be a

Featured Web Site at my home page.

The main reason for this is so I can help drive traffic to your site and add

an interesting

item to my site. I think we can help each other get the word out that WLS in

it's many

forms can give the Morbid Obese a chance at a longer, healthier and happier

life.

Weight Loss Surgery is a good thing.

Your Friend,
