Re: a Moms request -- who are the young MGB'ers??

[Guest guest]

My daughter is also considering MGB. She's 22 - finishing college.

We've had a heck of a time finding the names of other MGB'ers her

age. While the responses have been interesting, they've netted only

2 possible contacts - one of whom had an RNY.

So - folks - if you are or know of these young MGB patients, you

could surely help others their same age who need to make/confirm

their decision.

I recall reading the " daily e-mails " about a mother and daughter who

had the surgery...the daughter may have been younger than your

daughter, and I think it was like in June or July. check it

out...good luck
