My Bariatric Life

(Profile)

In 2003, I made a decision that would forever change my life. Since that time, I have been following a program of lifetime obesity disease management to sustain long term weight loss.

Now we come to the end of this 4 part article series: duodenal switch. It was not accidental that I left this option for last.

While you can consume more food with this surgery than the others, the... Read more Chevron
