You DON'T have to give up NSAIDs!

Well, guess what - just for hah-hahs I checked to see who does the surgery - only 1 in MA in Boston, and none in CT!

You might want to visit www.duodenalswitch.com ---they have a list of "approved" DS surgeons. At last count, there where 46 here in the US. Yes, you might have to travel several hours away from home in order to get the DS---but if it's what you WANT, it's more than worth it. I could have had the RNY an hour away from home, basically for FREE---my insurance would have covered EVERYTHING. But I decided having the DS was important enought to pay $7500 out of pocket ,traveling 3.5 hours each way, staying in a hotet, etc.---because I was lokking at how my life would be affected for, hopefully, another 40 years or so.  I'm almost 4 years out, an d my DS has ALREADY more than paid for itself.
