Got a Question?

You can learn a lot about weight-loss surgery by reading the different answers our experts provide to key questions. But what if you have a specific question that you don’t see answered here?

That’s where iVillage contributor and Health Journal blogger Madelyn Fernstrom, Ph.D., C.N.S., comes in. Every weekday she’ll answer questions submitted by people like you. Maybe you in particular. 

Madelyn will answer questions every weekday on a message board specifically set up for this Expert Dialogue. It’s called Weight-Loss Surgery: Ask the Expert. 

Make sure you check it frequently! You can also post a question directly on the message board – or just leave a comment.
