Valentina 2,642 Posted April 23, 2016 Welcome, Mike. You will find out that we may not always agree (if ever), but the one thing that we all do have in common is that we all CARE. We may have different ideals, backgrounds, foundation of beliefs, but we are all on the same WLS journey. So speak up!! Why should you be spared? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
