Holly Haley is a beautiful, vibrant 36 year old woman who has battled weight issues for most of her life. This has never stopped her from participating in all kinds of activities including running races all the way up to a marathon, 26.2 miles.

When Holly discovered that she had a thyroid issue, called Hashimoto's that destroyed her energy and added unwanted weight, she decided to have her thyroid removed. Unfortunately, that alone did not cure her energy levels and ability to control her weight.

After doing some research about nutritional studies related to Hashimoto's, Holly decided to cut gluten from her diet due to intolerance. This allowed her to finally lose the excess weight that she had gained.

However, since Holly had yo yo'd with weight for many years she had skin that would not firm up, even as she lost significant pounds of fat. This interview will cover Holly's story and decision to have surgery for skin reduction and the ramifications for anyone considering this type of surgery.

We'll discuss the emotional and surgical issues in making this type of decision to change one's body.
