    Allow myself to introduce...myself

    Hello! I have been lurking on this site for a while and I have some questions that I would appreciate experienced DSers respond to. I had a revision from VSG to DS with Dr. Wilhelmy at Mexicali Bariatric Center on 9/7/17. I had a complete re-sleeve at that time. I have returned home with...
