Vitalady!

, also known as " Vitalady " is dedicated to helping obesity surgery

patients remain nutritionally balanced and healthy for life. She and her hubby

Don (Vitaguy) share life experiences of themselves and many others like us, who

are weight loss surgery patients. They have lost several hundred pounds, having

both had Distal Gastric Bypass, well over 10 years ago! They enjoy life to a

much fuller extent than they ever thought possible.

The " VitaCouple " will answer your personal lab questions, nutrition questions,

weight loss questions, etc as they entertain and offer their special style of

unconditional love for their own WLS peeps! You will LOVE them!

This is a rare treat to have them in our " neck of the woods " as they rarely

budge from their home state of Washington where they are crazy busy addressing

personal crisis of peeps around the Globe!
