Question for Peter L.

Good Morning! I was wondering if you could help me. I've seen that many times you posted the kinds of Meds you could and could not take after WLS. I have a copy of that but I think you said that it came from a book and I would like to get a copy but I can't remember the title. I'd like to get a copy also for my PCP so she could understand more about what to prescribe and her how to base her treatment with me. I really like her and she is very willing to help me. Also if you know of any other resources I can check out I'd really appreciate any help!! If there's anyone else out there who can help THANK YOU TO YOU TOO! Have a great day! Erminia
