 Kudos to OH for including this article, written by Dr. Greenbaum, in the OH Newsletter this month.  

 She's done well with it, but she really didn't need to take that dig at the DS (i.e. no re-routing of the intestines or "issues with going to the bathroom in public")

 I was hoping she might decide to do it, and looks like she will.  Great job on losing 80 lbs., pre-op, btw (although article says she was experiencing "fainting spells" b/c of it

Wow, I remember watching this dude on T.V.  He looked fantastic after his 180 lb. weight loss.  No mention of what he died of.  So sad to make it through the journey and still have life cut short.
