In the latest episode of WLS Journeys, host Yvonne McCarthy talks with Gina Robinson, a hospice nurse who once weighed 340 pounds. Although she dropped 150 pounds after weight loss surgery, went off insulin completely, and was a regular at support group meetings, Gina later regained 60 pounds and found her life was once again heading in the wrong direction.

gina_robinsonGina’s story of losing her way on the road to health is one ever WLS patient can identify with, and her determination to get back on track will cheer and inspire you. Click the video player below to hear Gina’s humorous take on the roller-coaster ride of post-op life, from her struggle to deal with people sabotaging her success to her own tendency to test the waters, and her renewed will to fight for lasting health and happiness.

    You both not only look professional on camera, but so beautiful! They say the camera adds 10lbs but not the case here! You both look so skinny! Gina you always make me smile and being a Hospice nurse you are such an angel to so many.

    Yvonne, you are a great interviewer; Gina, you are a hoot!

    I think you are both “poster girls”—and not just for the WLS community.

    All the best to both of you and your future plans. DC

    Thanks to everyone for showing the love. Gina missed her calling as a stand up comic! I still am in awe of her passion for her job. She brings so much experience to the table and I’m still laughing about when she explains how much she lost at the gym!

    Gina,
    I really appreciated this video. I, too, am 51 years old and a Hospice nurse. I have been struggling to lose this last 29 pounds since having to be off work for spinal fusion and rotator cuff repair. you have given me hope…and humor.
