What a great way to describe us Christians. We're not perfect...just forgiven! :amen: But as lisah25 mentioned, we do have to try to follow Christ's teachings. But it can be tough at times since we aren't perfect. But we have to genuinely keep trying. It's a journey for sure. Fortunately, to be saved we don't have to be perfect! *whew* As for the original topic, although I personally have chosen to have a small family, I have no problem at all with very large families, as long as the parents can financially and emotionally support such a large family. :biggrin1:

There are some great suggestions in this thread! The ones that I would especially like to see are forums for: Clothing Exchange BI over 50 Pregnancy with the Band Separate Polls forum Long-term bandsters (Banded for 2 years+) <--- this one would be especially helpful for pre-band members like me who want to read more about the long-term effects of banding BEFORE surgery! Alternate skins for the board would be nice too!

Well since I personally found LBT through Google, I obviously vote to continue to allow Google to index the forum. Otherwise, it would make it very difficult for people to find this great board! But in order to protect our identities, it's important for members to not post their last names and addresses, etc. on the board. Too many people out there on the internet that can't be trusted with our personal info!

Hi everyone! :wave: I'm so excited to have found this board! I'm pre-op and need all the information and support I can get! :nod: I'm still waiting for my initial consultation but I was told to expect a call sometime in February to start the process in likely April. I can't wait! Skinny me here I come!!! I look forward to chatting with you all!
