Any one w/Hep C

Me and a friend of mine are both considering WLS surgery. She has chronic Hepatitis C. She asked me to find out if anyone had that illness, and had WLS. She has alot of questions, that I cannot answer, but I figured maybe someone on this board can. Has anyone actually had the surgery and what type, can tell me how the after affects are? Please help a concerned friend!!!

Leslie, I'm sorry, but I have no answers for you. I would suggest two things. 1.) move your question to the main Message Board. This is a vast number of users with lots of experience who post there; some of them are health care providers 2.) attend a fact-finding seminar. Brigham & Women's holds one Monthly. The next one is 3/1. You can register here brighamandwomens.org/view/viewEvents.asp?audience=2&viewby=deptList&deptID=8278 (just add the www. to the beginning of the address) Hope that helps. - Sharon
