MiniGastric Archives

[Guest guest]

Hi Beth,

I am also interested in reading your story, however, it seems

that the only archives we can now access is Post-Op only. I tried to

access the MiniGastric achives but now it says only the moderator has

access. What's up Doc????????? I really would like to have the option to

access those archives. Can you get this fixed Doc???????

I guess the only way we can read your story is if you send it

again Beth, at least until the access is fixed.

Thanks,

Genz
