Health care providers, pls read

[Guest guest]

If any of you are health care providers and do NOT work with bariatric

patients as part of your job, could you please contact me off-list? I am

specifically interested in if and how you bring up having had WLS

yourself to someone who would be a good candidate for it. Just not sure

if this would be appropriate or not.

Example:

Yesterday at work, I had a young man in, 29 years old, ~450lbs, insulin

dependant, HBP, acid reflux, severe sleep apnea, heavy smoker. Great

candidate (except for the smoking!) for WLS.

Thanks for your opinions,
