She almost gets it! And she is quite clear that most surgeons do not.
However, her fixes are teensy weensy adjustments vs what we know today.
Oh and DS is referred to in past tense. I think she has made it just a slight variation of BPD rather than a departure, but hey, it's a start.

P.S. My year + long absence has NOTHING to do with my WLS, or my type of WLS. See my profile.
Thanks for sharing, Michelle. I was interested in what she said about vitamin A and dry eyes. I have terrible problems with dry eyes; I always attributed it to the lasic surgery I had years ago. As a RNYer, I've always been mostly concerned with magnesium, iron, calcium and B12. It seems a still have a lot to learn.
