I understand Physicians and we all seek and need medical assistance in our lives. But why the NF instead of checking and informing to the fullest of the complications that you would be recommending and checking for low acid as a possibility before such a barbaric life changing extreme procedure? Or are you all just following a book and not thinking out side the box. I feel like a bloated cow left on the side of the road ready to explode at any moment of my life. Only I'm still breathing. PERIOD!
