Valerie is truly amazing. She takes phone calls and manages the SWL [surgical weight loss] Facebook page, being there to support her patients, filter content to assure it is supportive, and runs a support group in Hendersonville in her own time, unpaid and off the clock. This is a true example of going above and beyond, not for personal gain but because surgical weight loss patients don't always have a crisis Monday to Friday, 8-5, but it can happen any time of day or night any day of the week and for this, Valerie needs to be recognized. If it weren't for these extras, not as many people would be as successful even with the tools SWL gives us. Thank you, Valerie. Your actions do not go unnoticed!
