Guest guest Posted May 26, 2002 Report Share Posted May 26, 2002 Hi Tess, Thank you for the warm welcome!! You mentioned your interest in exploring weight loss surgery - I know several people who have received this surgery on state aid. I have spent the past year researching the two main surgeries being done today, and while I am no expert, I would be happy to asist you in any questions you may have. Please feel free to e-mail me about this individually anytime. Thanks for sharing your hope!
