The LivingAfterWLS Neighborhood: an online compassion driven social space evoking feelings of comfort, understanding, knowledge, warmth, acceptance, trust and happiness for those who have undergone gastric bypass, lap-band or any type of weight loss surgery or those struggling with weight control.

I just love LivingAfterWLS! I feel like I can come here to ask my questions & no one will tell me I'm stupid. I can get encouragement when I'm down. I can vent when I'm frustrated. Kaye & the techies have made this a safe place for me to be. I feel valued as a member of the neighborhood. I haven't felt valued by anyone in a long time!
--BeJean

The best thing of all is the love that is in here. From that love comes support, encouragement, inspiration, motivation, a butt kicking when needed, etc. For me the most loving messages I receive is when I post about my accomplishments. The feedback I receive usually reduces me to tears (good tears) as no one, I repeat "no one", in my life understands what I'm going through like you all do. I would be totally lost without the guideance, knowledge, understanding, etc I gain from my friends in here. The supportive messages inspire me to achieve more and more and thats a good thing as far as I'm concerned. It doesn't matter how old we are we still like to be given pats on the back for something we've achieved.
