Guest guest Posted November 16, 2002 Report Share Posted November 16, 2002 Hi, Tanicka-- If that were ME, I would go back to my weight loss surgeon & see what he/she intends to do? After I have that " advice " --I would then get a consultation with yet another surgeon. Then, I would examine my options and research it a bit....and....ask opinions of those who have been through it on AMOS and on here & other groups. All of this TO Make THE decision which course of action would be best for me. Best wishes to you, Barb B. > > CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE ON THIS AND WHAT SHALL I DO > FROM THIS POINT.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2002 Report Share Posted November 16, 2002 But don't surgeons consider the surgery a success if 50% of the excess weight is lost and the loss is maintained for 2 years? If so, Tanicka's surgeon may be happy with the results. I am at 235, down from 370. My surgeon says anytine I am comfortable and ready to go ahead with a TT. to go ahead. He seems to feel that anything more from here on out is gravy. He would LIKE to see me below 200, but he seems OK if this is as far as I go. I personally would like to get to 180. What do you think? > Hi, Tanicka-- > > If that were ME, I would go back to my weight loss surgeon & see what he/she > intends to do?
