Dr. Scarborough, just want to say thanks again. I think my surgery was in 2003 (?) and I have maintained all these years. I no longer use the "D" word as I have not dieted in years. However, my eating habits have changed. I actually prefer fresh fruits and veggies. I don't deprive myself of anything. I am happy to say I went from a size 26 to a size 4 and I don't regret my decision for one moment. To repeat myself, thank you so much.
