Check it out!!

I watched the presentation this morning and enjoyed it.  The questions answered by Dr. Cirangle were great. 

My husband and sons watched it too!

Thanks, Cathy

 I have a question, about the smoking.....does the smoking patches or gums effect the blood  the same way?

I don't know for sure,
but since the patches and gum contain Nicotine I would assume that it does.

according to my doc yes...he won't do the surgery unless you have been completely nicotine free for six weeks...that includes any cessation aides

Eeeewwww not for the faint of heart, that's just gross.

Very Impressive and not as scary as I assumed it would be.
Now I want to see a DS procedure done online!

Hi I asked numerous questions via twitter during it . He answered all of them with a calm cool confident demeanor. I was so impressed with his technique of anchoring the stomach. Thanks!
