At one time on obesity help, I dont know if they still do it, they had an angel system in place. If someone was preop, they could ask for an angel. An angel is someone a year out who they buddy up with. The angel is the pre op's guide through the process and offers advice and answers to someone who may not want to pubicly have their concern or fear addressed. The angel is responsible for checking in with this person via phone or in person at the hospital to continue to guide them. Doing the same again when the new loser is at home. Also, the new loser can call the angel ANYTIME day or night if they need advice.

What do you guys think of this idea? If it generates enough interest perhaps John can make an Angel directory. Then those who want to be an angel can list their contact info in the directory and then the newbie can choose who they feel would be the best for them.

What do you long termers think of this idea?

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."
