Question:
Without seeming like I'm tooting my own horn, please offer feedback...

My story was featured in our local paper today http://www.newstrib.com/main.asp?FromHome=1&TypeID=1&ArticleID=9848&SectionID=82&SubSectionID=309 I think the reporter did a good job, with the exception of kind of goofing up the description of what dumping syndrome is all about (it's not from eating too much in general but from eating too much sugars and/or fats).    — Anna L.

Anna, I just read the story. Inspiring, and I am so happy for you. Thanks for stressing in the article that this surgery is not the easy way out. I think the general public needs to hear that.

I am so glad you shared your story with the public. My husband and I were too able to share our story through a two-part special report on a local news channel. I think that giving back to the WLS community and educating the general public about the effects of obesity both socially, physically and emotionally is so very important! Kudos to you! Feel free to check out our news coverage...there is a link on each page where you can watch the actual video clip. The first part of our story is: http://www.komotv.com/news/story.asp?ID=24471 and the second is: http://www.komotv.com/news/story.asp?ID=24501 Best of luck to you and thank you for sharing your story!

Thank you all so much for your kind words and your support. It's nice to hear from anyone, but they mean so much more from people who have been where I have been. Danyel Hand -- Great stories on you and your husband. I'm looking forward to following your progress, especially during this first year! You go! - Thanks again to everyone.
