Question:
Is there anyone else in Australia that has had a Bilio Pancreatic Diversion?

I am in Western Australia and hoping to get in contact with others in Australia who have had a Bilio Pancreatic Diversion. I was wanting to find out what to expect from this type of surgery in Australia. I have done a lot of research on BPD, but was wanting to talk to others who have been there.    — Leanne H.

Hi! Yes, I do know of a couple. I'll forward your message on to them, and ask them to contact you, okay? Blessings! dina

Hopefully you mean the BPD/DS, not the BPD? There is a big difference. Please go to duodenalswitch.com to research. There is an Australian who posts to the forum, too. I hope you'll write me about some concerns I have about one of the surgeons.
