WLSChannel Newsletter April 10, 2009

Join host Yvonne McCarthy on WLS Journeys as she talks with guest Shirley Mastenbrook about how she has learned to navigate life since having weight loss surgery. Shirley shares about her decision to undergo bariatric surgery when she reached 264 pounds, and recounts the often comical stories from her life post-op, from purging her size 22 wardrobe to devising clever tricks for hiding excess skin. You’re sure to appreciate Shirley’s humor and her insights on how to manage everyday challenges without turning to food, and maintain the discipline to keep off the pounds long-term.
