Big Medicine and Dr. Mary Jo Rapini

I watched Big Medicine last night and, as usual, it was wonderful. Specifically, I enjoy watching OH's MHP Advisory Board member, Dr. Mary Jo Rapini. Her sensitivity and insights as to her work with the bariatric patients is amazing. She is a real asset to the bariatric community and to us at OH.

I had my surgery so long ago that sometimes it seems like yesterday that I was going through the pre-op process and other times I can hardly remember it. Weird, huh? Watching this show helps me to appreciate not only how far I've come but the common bond we share. I don't personally know the patients on the show but I feel as though I do. I understand and am right there with them as I watch their unfolding successes.

One of the many things I love about OH is that even though we may not personally know each other, we understand due to the bond we share of morbid obesity and wls.
