new to list, doctors in PA??

[Guest guest]

I have only been a member a very short time and have really enjoyed the

information and/or stories you all have shared.

I am 34 years old - I will turn 35 next week- and I have been heavy almost

all of my life. When I got married in 1988- I was just " fat " . Now I am

morbidly obese. My BMI is 59. I have tried Xenical, Merida, and tried to

diet and exercise. My health is starting to get worse, fatty liver, sleep

apnea, out of control high blood pressure, arthritis in my knees... shall I

go on???

I have decided to find out all I can about the different surgeries. I am

leaning toward the DS. What is the difference between BPD/DS and just DS?

Where can I find out more about this surgery and has anyone had the surgery

in PA (western PA??)??

Thanks!
