Frannie i'm not good with expressing myself and some postings here really pull at my heart. I'm a pre-oper who;s scheduled for 10/26/00 and i TRULY appreciate your truthful response to a question asked! I started out on a RNY support group and they were wonderful i was dissapointed to find the Dr's in my area only do the Ds i searched the internet for info and found another wonderful support group THIS ONE! Here come's the hard part of me trying to get my words right :-).......I've personally kept an open mind about both surgeries had consult appt's with DS surgeon in my ins group with a $$$ aftercare program fee and a consult with BTC in Ann Arbor they perform RNY no aftercare cost but my outofpocket expense would have averaged the same as with the in netwk DS surgeon and aftercare cost due to ded and co-ins for going out of ntwk........ i made a decision on the type of surgery based on what i read about both from all levels of experience with the surgery........I choose DS not because it's the best surgical choice but because i feel it's the best for me..............i'm sorry about the attacks you've rec'd i think people need to remind themselves this is a support group! You only answered a question asked and you did it truthfully u should be commended for it not attacked..........i noticed tha a lot of people appreciated and supported your truthfullness more positive than negative...............however one negative post is one to many!!!! I do sincerely hope things get better for u and i will continue to pray that the do! God Bless u Frannie and here's to better day's ahead! Betty W
