I havent had a asthma attack since surgery, do I call this surgery a "Cure"? Yes indeed I do. Call it what you want but for me it saved my life.

I'm sorry I hope I didn't offend anyone, that was not my intention, I know for some it can be a cure. My sister was a brittle diabetic since the age of 2. Her pancrease did not work at all, so no amount of weight loss would have helped. I just worry that if someone starts saying 'We have a cure for diabetes' some one who has a young child who was just diagonsed will get all excited because they heard the word 'cure'.

Thanks, I didn't know it was that old, I really should start paying attention to those things. The kidney stone medicine has me in a complete fog!! Good think I take the bus to work and the people at work are nice and just laugh at me.
