Guest guest Posted April 13, 2000 Report Share Posted April 13, 2000 flo- kimberly in east tn here. pam's story shakes me to the bone! however, i am miserable now. it seems worse every day (i think its because i know i am headed for a solution!). Despite the horrors of pam's experience i am proceeding. my existence as is is getting unbearable and i must try and pray i am one of the fortunate ones. didn't she say too that she didn't take her vitamins as prescribed? I am not trying to be mean, I just think she said that she did not take them as ordered. thanks again to pam for being so upfront and honest about her experience. kimberly RE: Scared! > OK, OK, I'll admit it.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2000 Report Share Posted April 13, 2000 OK, OK, I'll admit it. I'm scared. I want this surgery BAD! Actually, I want the end results that this surgery can produce. The good parts, that is. But after reading about Pam's complications...well....I'm very nervous. I am a world class wuss. I'm also anxious to know why her daughter would not do it again if given the choice. Reassure me someone! Those of you who had an easy time of this surgery....please let us hear from you...about how easy it was. I think lately we're a little heavy on the complications side...could we hear from the " Aw it was Nothin' Crowd " ? Is anyone else a little shakey after reading about Pam's problems even with her reassurances? Thanks for the honesty Pam. We need to not see this as a cake walk. We need to hear and think about the other possibilities. Chicken Flo Nervous in land Florence Ballengee Hollywood, land florence@...

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2000 Report Share Posted April 13, 2000 I don't think MGB will cure whining. But perhaps we could get a group rate on a lobotomy to be performed at the same time. > Florence Ballengee Hollywood, land florence@...

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2000 Report Share Posted April 13, 2000 Dear Florence and Gang, I think it's the rest of the world who need the lobotomy...not us...we're THE FEW (but growing), THE PROUD, THE MGBS....my apologies to the Marines for co-opting their slogan, but they should be honored........

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2000 Report Share Posted April 14, 2000 Flo. Hi. I'm Tonni. I had my surgery on Monday 4/10/00. I can say, I was alittle scared at times, but in the holding area, I thought, if I need to, I can always have it reversed!!! When I went to my room, I thought just sleep. I had my surgery last,(littermates, I won't let you all live that one down!!!),LOL Mine was around 5:00, and I was out of the hospital by 12:30 tuesday afternoon! By wednesday at 11:30 am, I was on a plane back home!! I haven't been a week yet, and if I was told I needed it again today for it to work, I would do it again, and again. I really think alot has to do with how you go into the surgery. I knew this is what I wanted, and I'm hell bent this is gonna work. I will say, this far, I have followed Dr.R's instructions to the T. I still am so excited, I can't believe I even had it done, except for the staples, they do itch a bit!!! Don't be scared, Dr. R knows what he is doing, and he has done almost 500 of these, and only undone 3!!! At this point, which isn't even a week, even if I had to have it reversed, I would have it done again, when Dr. R said I was ready!! Good Luck, Tonni 4/10/00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2000 Report Share Posted April 14, 2000 Hi, No I have not had any diarreha. I feel wonderful. My only thing is I sip, if I have a cracker, each bite truns into mush before I swallow it, and I try not to dring right after it because I tend to gulp that first drink, so I just wait. I can say, I do feel really really well. I feel that I blessed, even though I had to be last!! Hear that littermates!! LOL I knew I was Dr.R's last one, so while I was in the waiting area, he came over to me and asked me if I was ok, and I told him I was fine, but I asked him if he was feeling ok, not tired or anything, or not in a hurryor anything. He laughed and told me he was gonna drink a soda, and I told him to kick back and ENJOY it. I thought that way he would have a little soda, power rest, and get my job done. Andd that is truly what he did. I feel great. Good luck everyone Keep praying for my littermate . Tonni 4/10/00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 14, 2000 Report Share Posted April 14, 2000 congratulations Tonni - Keep us informed- I'm sure that if you do stick to Dr. R's instructions you will do just great.
