My employer (which is also where I had my surgery) featured me in their Good Health Stories campaign! I decided not to share this with close friends or family because I forgot that I had mentioned my mom's yoyo diet history in the interview (sorry Mom!), but I thought it would be safe to share here.    They plan to put it on their Facebook page...previous posts have unfortunately drawn some WLS haters out of the woodwork, but I'm prepared.

From yo-yo diets to Dance Dance Revolution

Share it with your mom and everyone else.  Everyone in your mom's generation did yo-yo dieting.  Your mom might be inspired to have surgery herself now.

Nice article and pictures.

Share it with your mom.  Once they put it on their FB page I guarantee you she is going to somehow see it.  I read the article and don't think it's a slam against her at all.  All of us have yo-yo dieted our entire lives.

You're right, she saw it, and she wasn't upset. So I shared it after all.  =)
