Thxs Munchkin...You're right, its not ALL the VSG, but IMO, I think the DS part has more to do with just the pure math of it all. Reason I say that is all those diabetes related (nuero-chemical) things are reversed with just the VSG by itself also. Yes, sometimes thats temporary to 18 months and its debatable why it comes back, but yes, I do also think there are some (nuero-chemical) benefits from the switch, but too many unknowns yet...BTW...I thought for sure you'd say something about the MF? though it is too early to tell yet..lol
