| Greetings!
In this week’s edition of WLS News, we’ll give you the details on a new attempt by Congress to attack the nation’s growing childhood obesity plague. We’ll also sample some data showing that an ingredient in curry–the delicious South Asian dish–may have fat-fighting properties, as well. And we’ll tell you about one woman’s journey from hippo-size to hypno-sized. Catch the latest edition of WLS News now!

We have had a tremendous response to our call for personal stories of weight loss surgery success — and we encourage you to keep ‘em coming! If you’re at least three years post-op and have an important message to share about your weight loss surgery journey, we want to hear from you! We are looking for WLS Success Stories to feature both on the Weight Loss Surgery Channel website and in upcoming shows.
Stories should be 500 words or more, with plenty of before and after pics. Links to YouTube videos are great, too. This is not the place to promote a product or service, but simply to provide encouragement to your fellow travelers on the WLS highway. Interested? Submit stories to MyStory@WeightLossSurgeryChannel.com.
Sincerely,
Craig Thompson
