Dear Sirs:
I am very much interested in both Gastric Bypass and Stomach Stapling. I live in Fredonia, Kansas and would like to know what hospital that is near to me that does this. Also could you please send me all of the information that you can find on both of these. It would mean a lost to me if I had the information so I can read up on both of them brfore I decide on which one I would like to have done. I really do need to do something because me health is going down hill and I really do want my life back tothe way it used to be. so I will be waiting to here from you about this.

Thanks

Torie, you should be asking your diabetes health care provider to give you diet and exercise guidance. Cause any changes to diet and exercise will affect your insulin regimen, so in your case, it would be very dangerous to just follow some recommendations online without working with the doctor to change the insulin.

Good luck.
