New Bariatric TV Episode is Up!

Guess I'll pimp for Lynnda and Scott this week!

I'm proud to announce this episode, since the VSG is the weight loss surgery represented this week. The gang at BTV did a great job giving a general overview of the surgery I chose to have.

They also covered those people who claim WLS is the "easy way out." (HA! I love that!)

And finally, they offer up a great website that can get you prepared to run a 5K - even those of us who have never done it before!

Come on over to BTV, guys - you'll love it! Join those of us from the TN Board who have found a great new place to chat.

Keep this up T2 and you shall be crowned a BTV Pimpette!  Thanks!  :-)
