Seeking African American Pre and Post Ops....

am Valerie and I am writing a book about WLS as it relates to the Black perspective. I am seeking persons interested in having their before and after pictures (or just before or just after) featured in my book. The book will be a wonderful tool for educating others about this surgery. Some of the topics discussed include: Barriers to Surgery, Co morbidities Prevalent in the Black Community and also has a cookbook section which converts recipes for some soul food favorites into something post-ops and those seeking to eat healthier can eat. Thank you in advance for your consideration of my project. VAL

HI VAL I THINK WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS A WONDERFUL IDEA. AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU IN THE JOURNEY. I AM IN THE BEGINNING STAGES OF WLS, ATTENDING MY FIRST SEMINAR ON MAY 19, THEN ON TO SEE THE SURGEON AFTER THAT SO I WONT BE ABLE TO ASSTST YOU JUST YET. HOPE EVERYTHING GOES WELL. DEBBIE
