Episode 94: Scaring The Newbies

In this weeks episode of BariatricTV we have a Drop Zone freak that you can really get your arms around. We take a look at another freak that is running for a cause. Talk a little bit about the “Scaring the Newbies” drama that’s been going on in the WLS online community. And wrap things up with a consumer guide to weight loss surgery.
