Friends of WLS (Weight
Loss Surgery) Gatherings
Friends of WLS Gatherings started as
a simple idea to get a bunch of people
together that always chatted or posted
to each other on In October 2002,
the first of these gatherings took place
in Hershey, PA and 40 people that were
on spotlighthealth finally got to meet.
These gatherings were meant for us to
have a place to get the support we all
need. We are all connected by having
WLS, but even more than that we all have
an understanding of what we have gone
through in our lives.
Our stories may all be different, but
there is a familiar ring to them when
we hear each other’s story. As
much as our stories are different, what
we get out of these weekends is just
as different. Some come just to
meet others that know what they have
gone through, some come to relax, some
come to party and some come to do all
three. Whatever your reason for
attending the weekend I hope you make
the most of it and come away with the
overwhelming feeling of not being alone
and that there are people that understand
the road you are on.
There is another gathering of Friends
of WLS being planned for April 1-3, 2005
in Boston, more details to be in next
newsletter, or if you want to be placed
on a mailing list please email
