I saw a doctor today, wants to do a Duodenal switch from a MGB. My MGB doctor, who lives in another country now, said it's from the devil. How can that be??? Is it bad??

regarding low Iron, I take iron supplements daily. I see a hematologist for a different blood issue. He told me to take folic acid WITH the iron for great absorption. My iron levels are just fine.

HI there, I had my surgery july 2001. I was 290, went down to 160, stayed there (plus maybe 10 lbs if I ate too much), but held steady for about 10 years, then on the fifth year, I started little by little to gain weight. I am now up to 230. I saw a doctor today about a revision. He would do it, but said there are lots of complications and the weight loss isn't that great, like only 30 lbs?! I am soooooo frustrated. I read other folks getting the revision and losing 100 lbs!! please write to me at valentina21459 at gmail if you like. Linda Vellucci
