There is a dear good person who used to post on this forum a lot and has struggled with serious weight issues. I want him to know that many see the real person and the funny quick person and the caring heart and good citizen that he is.


I understand all of the ways that he has tried to recover his health and want him to know that we care about him and pray for him and hope he knows he matters to us.


It is very easy to dismiss and judge others, but serious weight issues are very involved and difficult.


Gastric by-pass is only for those healthy enough to withstand the operation and the side effects.


I will say one more time. I don't care if you are gay or straight, young or old, funny or serious, well educated or not, rich or poor, fat or thin, religious or not, If you are nice to me, I will be nice to you.


As we get older we keep learning that a board always has two sides.

You are a good person, Westcoast.
