Help with weight loss surgery dissertation
Hi,
My name is Lauren Heno and I am a student at Portsmouth University. For my final year dissertation I am looking into weight loss surgery and the advantages and disadvantages of having it done. Alongside my dissertation I have to write an article on a linking topic and I was just wondering if anyone on here would be willing to answer a few questions in regards to their surgery, what they think the pros and cons are, and what advice they'd give to someone about to have surgery.
Thank you for your time
Lauren Heno
I'd be happy to answer questions for you, Lauren. If you could set up a SurveyMonkey site I'm betting you would get a lot of people willing to click on the link and answer your questions.

I'd be glad to, just PM me with your questions. One suggestion I'll give you right now---try to include people who are fresh out of surgery, those who are around 2-3 years out, and those who are like me, 10+ years out. Also include people from all four surgery types---Band, VSG/Sleeve, RNY/gastric bypass, and DS/duodenal switch.
