Revision needed from RNY to DS
Yes you can. Just go over to the DS broad and ask all your questions.
On the journey to losing weight, your friends & family will be the first people to try to knock you off. They do this not out spite, but out of being convicted and knowing they should do the same. It's easier to put someone down for doing the right thing, than for them to actually do it. So at your next family re-union or wherever you are eat your chicken and broccoli and smile when they make jokes about you, they are jealous!

Yes, I have been fighting the insurance company to get mine appoved, but YES IT IS VERY POSSIBLE!!!!! I re-did my top blog entry, with the cash pay prices that I have, and also the curgeons that do them, if you are interested.
