DS question

Thanks everyone for information and i am sorry if my question stirred up some troubles was certaintly not my intenetion i love my July'ers!
I was just a little curious about it because honestly i had never heard of it until i came to this board since it wasn't even an option for me i didn't know what it was and someone at the seminar had said her mother had it years ago when it first came out and that they had removed most of her intestines so i was just trying to clear it up cause i didn't think that could be right.  
Thank you everyone for the information you gave me.

Love you guys !
