If I can be of any assistance please just let me know.

I know you've done lots of research and I hope you find a good deal of support here.

Yesterday March 15th was the 8th anniversary of my bariatric surgery. Bileopancreatic Diversion with a duodenal switch. I went from a high of 302 lbs to 139 lbs yesterday morning.

I had my surgery here in MI.

good luck.
