I've heard this from several medical sources along with doing my own investigating on-line. I'm a nurse and a bariatric support group leader so I try really hard to check things out when I hear them and this 15g limit or 30 g limit really isn't something that has been found to be true.
hey, it's what she said....15-18 I think were her exact speculations.

Like I said before, you ask 10 people, you get 10 different answers. That is the key for newbies on here - everyone is DIFFERENT. Every surgeon and nut is different...

that's why it is IMPERATIVE that we are "informed" rny'ers...you know?

to sort out fact from fiction.
