Default WLS Magazine?

Hi all!

Have any of you subscribed to a magazine called WLS Lifestyles Magazine? I know it comes out 4 times a year, but I am wondering how helpful it is for post ops? Any opinions before I drop $25 for a subscription? Thank you!

Does it talk about what we have been through? I haven't even heard of it, but if it's any good I would be willing to $25.00 for a subscription. Let me know what ya think when and if you get it.

I have heard about the magazine and actually ordered the subscription through Amazon, but haven't received my first copy yet. I was on Amazon looking for cookbooks for WLS and found the magazine. Once I receive my first copy, I will let everyone know if it is worth it.

I ordered it. It looked good to me. I looked thru some of the past issues and it seemed to have good info. I am new to this so I think any info I can get would be good!

I was going to order it, but wasn't sure because it is only 4 issues. Let us know how it is.

That is so funny, I ordered it also! Since it only comes out every 3 months, I am sure it will be awhile before I receive the first issue...but I ordered it like 6 weeks ago, so you never know...it could come any time!! I post anything interesting from it.

I might order one of the latest issues, and then decide. I think this would be a good way to find out if I like it.

I ordered my first subscription about 9 months ago and REALLY like it. I have kept all the issues thus far and read through them all over again here and there. GRADED: GOOD BUY!
