Pharmalot... Pharmalittle... Good Morning

Good morning, everyone, and nice to see you again. A bright sun is shining over the chilly Pharmalot corporate campus, where we are forever hustling assorted short people off to their respective school houses. A triathalon may be easier. This calls for a steaming hot cup of stimulation - our flavor today is Southern Pecan. Please feel free to indulge along with us. This will be a busy day, since we are speaking at anindustry conference. Nonetheless, we are happy to pass along a few tidbits. See you soon...

The tradeoff for a biliopancreatic diversion procedure is that you will spend a significanrt portion of the rest of your life on the commode. You will experience malabsorption syndrome with steatorrhea, characterized by presence of foul smelling, frothy stools that will tend to float because of their high fat content. You will experience side effects similar to the oily discharge from Xenical, but more frequent and severe. What you save on purchase of food you will spend on underwear.

Think about that over brunch.
