Re: Re: Frannie - DS vs RNY

October 16, 2000

Hi Margie,

Yeah, that's one of the reasons that I've decided against the RNY - the body

is so amazingly adaptable. If I were to keep on eating sweets, I'd be back

in the same boat in no time. I'll take the added malabsorption of the DS

and continue working on the emotional side of my eating - I'm convinced

that's a much better bet for me. I do worry about my sister - I am afraid

that at the rate she's going she'll end up with a revision to a DS for the

same reason that you did.

BTW, thanks for all of your contributions to this list - you are awesome!!

Hugs,

Melonie
