wow tomi that is alot to grasp at one time. I am checking into the bypass myself right now too kind of. my dad's vascular dr does that and I am considering it. I am 100 lbs overweight and I believe my insurance would pay most of the cost. anyway back to you! sorry hon. do you do daily finger pricks for the diabetes? as for the pituatary, is there anything they can do for that? get that biopsy hon! I think you have found a dr that is going to help you now! woo hoo!
