Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'd like to welcome and thank each of you for your very personal testimony. I know it was probably hard for many of you who experienced it personally, so I just want to take a moment to thank you. I'm sure all of us here really appreciate that and know the difficulty that you had.
I'll start with Madame Lemoine.
Thank you, certainly, for your story. It's nice when we can talk to someone who has experienced it and can give us ideas that may help at the end of this study.
Just so I'm understanding, I think you said you had it from being a teen to 25, and then you lost 40 pounds and you had to go in for surgery for your gallbladder.
