I have been researching WLS for 2 years and I find the most comfort in your honest words. I have been to support groups, read books and watched TV programs about surgery. I have endlessly searched the internet for information and read articles and still I have found the most useful information on your website and in your newsletters. Thank you so much for doing what you do for me and for all of us. — Sara A.
Just read your column and felt like jumping up and down, yelling and cheering you! I feel renewed by your sharing, which really inspires me and gives me hope. I am sure you don't know how many people you are inspiring!. — Sherry C.
