Did I win yet?

[I will what I want 271]

A book?! A BOOK?! I'm sure it's a fabulous book, Alex, but please... May we have a 5 star, all-inclusive, all expenses paid trip to Cancun please?! You could throw in a free surgical procedure as well, if you'd like? I'm easy. <Oh the hilarity, if this post was the 'one'! Muahahaha>

Hahahahahahaha.....at a recent work off-site my now former boss told us if we filled his workshop he would take us to lunch. Let's just say the ROI on that didn't make much sense for anyone but him. One of my also now former colleagues said she would rather get a punch to the gut than a $15 lunch. At which point I burst out laughing....yeah...let's just say my decision to leave was mutual! Still burst out laughing.

Hi BariatricPal Members!

I have an exciting announcement to make. We are approaching our 3.5 millionth post! That’s right…pretty soon, BariatricPal members are going to be responsible for 3,500,000 posts! I can hardly believe that we are about to hit this milestone, and I thank you, the members, that are responsible for this accomplishment.

BariatricPal had its humble beginnings in July 2003 when I started LapBandTalk. I added VerticalSleeveTalk, RNYTalk, and SleevePlicationTalk and watched the communities grow as members gathered for support, encouragement, and friendships. By the time these original boards combined to form the single BariatricPal community, we had over 225,000 active members. In fact, BariatricPal is now the most trafficked weight loss surgery community on the internet!

This accomplishment would not be possible without such incredible member support and participation. To say “thank you” for what you do for this community and mark this impressive milestone, I am offering a prize to the poster who makes post number 3.5 million! This lucky member will receive a free copy of our soon-to-be released book entitled, “The Big Book on Bariatric Surgery: Living Your Best Life After Weight Loss Surgery.” The book has valuable strategies for losing weight and loving life after weight loss surgery.

The more you post, the better your chances of being poster number 3.5 million and winning the book.

Here’s to the next 3.5 million posts! r-BEER-CHEERS-large570.jpg

Alex because of this wonderful site I have met some of my best friends, thank you. We can all ask any questions and the outside world doesn't know them. I love that. People tell the truth and a lot of people hate the truth but then why ask if you don't want to know the truth that you all ready knew.

I miss some of the people that were here when I started almost 2 years ago but people move on, are busy in their lives and I guess they feel they don't need the extra help or 'the WLS family' anymore.

I don't write as often as I did but I try to read every day from others.

Thanks again ALEX!!! you're great.
