Love that lifestyles story

Dear Editor: The story in your Lifestyles section titled I lost 82-lbs and feel great was very informative and inspirational for me. I am overweight and have been considering gastric bypass surgery for quite some time now.

Focusing on Luling resident Toni Waters really gave the article a personal touch and provided an inside look on why this surgery is  beneficial for many people. I know lots of people who have tried to diet and exercise to lose weight without results.

I think it would be a really great  idea if you were to do a follow-up piece on Toni in a few months so your readers can see how much weight a person can lose after having the surgery.

Keep up the good work!
