Maurene -

Thanks for the post. Very interesting. I hope that the clinical trials go well. It would be great if something like that could work for patients that might be too frail to undergo the rigors of bypass, yet allow them the benefits associated w/the bypass such as remission of diabetes.

Thanks again,

Barb

Thank y'all for the information, I am going to emai it to a friend of mine, who is having some difficulty with the decision for gastric bypass. Thanks you so much, it is so wonderful when information comes to you when you need it.
