We don't really know each other YET but i am hoping that is going to change very soon. i finally have all my swans in a row. That site really helped crystallize what my mind pictured was happening. Makes me feel much more at ease about the surgery. I don't have one question. I see that you use staples. as all gb doc's do but what i am not sure about is. do you actually sever the new pouch from the stomach? in all pictures that i have seen that is the case. but i can't find anywhere where it actually states whether or not its cut oof from the stomach completely. It won't change my decision. I just am curious more than anything. I will be fed exing my medical records as soon as the ultrasound is in, hopefully tuesday. I printed out all i could find about the procedure for the physical.. I am guessing my doctor will know what to do Is there anything special i should have him do? I am not having the endoscope as whatever was going on in my gut is now better. well i guess there is nothing more to do but wait to fed ex it all in. oh i gotta get pictures.. Oh one other thing... since i will be flying in... Do you think i need someone to come with me? i frankly don't want to bring anyone.. not that people haven't volunteered but i do better alone with this.. i am not the best flyer and another person will just add to that stress oh can people recommend hotels? and what is the best way to get back and forth.. like bus lines or cabs etc or walking distance.... hmm well ok maybe won't be walking in winter after surgery so everybody please keep your fingers crossed for me... i want to have this before thanksgiving which may be a stretch but i am gonna work like mad to make it happen.. i really don't want to fly in snow and my work really will hate me if i am not there for xmas to work. ok i am rambling now i just really want to fly on over right now Have a great night everyone, diana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 17, 1999 Report Share Posted October 17, 1999 Hi, Thanks for your nice note. Yes, the stomach is separated in the MGB you might see this if you can watch the movie or view the slides on the web site. As to whether you should bring some one, I feel that you should. We have had people come on their own but I am very much against it. It is dangerous and it is best to bring a support person. Ask the group on the onelist, I would be interested in their comments.
