One Wednesday evening a friend and I were in charge of the preschoolers at church. One little girl was upset because she couldn't find her Sponge Bob toy. She kept looking in her pockets and saying I can't find Sponge Bob. Later in the evening she yells out, "Here's Sponge Bob, I found Sponge Bob!" and there in her hand is an open tampon. The other lady and I nearly died laughing. When her mom got there she thought it was funny too until she looked closer and realized it did not come from her home and we don't have them at church. We never found out where she got it.

  Thanks! I feel great too! I lost a total of 105 lbs and have kept it off for almost 2 years now! Not only that, but I found a fun job that I really enjoy. Through that job, I met a wonderful man, and we're getting married in June . I don't believe any of this would have happened without wls. Losing all that weight really gave my confidence a much-needed boost, that's for sure!

Congratulations, you look great! Lynn

The 2007 event year is quickly coming to its end. We’ve had a lot of fun, met hundreds of people, made new friends, strengthened each other, and empowered ourselves to continue on our journeys. With the close of the 2007-year, our eyes turn to the future, to 2008. Where will we go? Our team has analyzed locations, researched demographics, met with support groups, consulted with area professionals for hours.. and HOURS.. and hours! We do this because YOU are worth it. It is our goal to reach out to as many people as possible. But, we can’t decide where to kick off the 2008 year! We’ve arm wrestled, had ping pong tournaments, basketball games and other battles of wills. So... we need your help to make this decision! We’re having a contest. Where do YOU want us to come to? Let us know! For the month of November, we will leave this post up. Reply and shout out to us where you want us to come to. If you have ever wished for OH to come to your area, now’s the time to speak up! Get your friends, surgeon and support group involved! Simply reply to this post and let us know the area you want us to come to. At the end of November, we will count up all of the votes and we will make the announcement in December. Rules of the game: -Since this is a member’s contest, you must be a member to vote -Each member can only vote once for the same area -Members CAN vote for multiple locations -One post, one vote. If you want to vote for another location, make a separate reply. -All votes have to be a reply to this one of the ‘contest’ posts -Due to logistics, we may not be able to come to the exact city requested, but we will come to that ‘area’ as close as possible. So now is the time to let your voice be heard! Where do YOU want us to come to?
