I am excited to have one of my oldest and dearest friends join me on this episode to discuss her experience with gastric bypass surgery two years ago. Shannon has always been an active and social person who has been a curvier, fuller figure person most of her life and healthily so until a bit later into her adult life when she was diagnosed with sleep apnea and hypothyroidism.
Her level of sleep apnea was critical and due to health issues in her family, it was worrisome to think about the risks that go with that. When that worry was compounded with the grief from losing her father she took the steps she needed.
What she learned was this surgery was not about being skinny or related to physical appearance at all! The benefits she received not only included the elimination of her sleep apnea but also brought her mental wellness and emotional healing.
Listen as she shares what the surgery is all about and her personal story of transformation.
She does mention a course on the mind-body connection when it comes to eating the link is here: https://wrha.mb.ca/nutrition/craving-change/
