I thought I would share this with you. One of our local news stations is doing a partnership with the hospital were I had my surgery. My wife and I were approached to share our story due to our success. This aired last night and this morning.

    The two of you are fantastic spokespersons for the WLS option. No "magic" about it, just a tool to be combined with a lot of hard work. Great Job!

    It was great to see how both of you are able to enjoy life with each other and with your daughter in a way that was not possible before.

    You are both inspirational to those of us that saw surgery as our last, best shot at some semblance of a healthy, active life. Thank You.
