Guest guest Posted July 22, 2002 Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 Dear : I know from having followed your brave story that you now have muscle where you once had air and fluff. I know too that men's bodies are WAY different than womens' and that men can " make " more muscle mass in quantity and heaviness than women. I think you have done a wnderful job, and ALSO for your peace of mind, a swallow is an okay thing to do. I think however, having had one of thse myself, that it is good to do an endoscope in close proximty in time just to make sure. Regardless, hang in there; there is a haunting that goes on for those of us who still feel like we have been goodly enchanted as though in a fairytale... somewhat like Cinderella, and we worry that at some as yet unforseen midnight we will turn back into mice and pumpkins again. But, it is not so. This fear is only an illusion that comes with the territory of having made an enormous, and in its own way, truly miraculous life shift. Just remember, there is a difference between a fairytale and a miracle. Your life and the lives of others here are the latter, not the former. all best love, ceep In a message dated 7/22/02 10:45:21 AM, Graduate-OSSG writes: << Anyway, I'm not convinced anything is wrong except my head. I'm on the fence about canceling the procedure (barium swallow) but also feel like at 4 plus years, why not check the staple line. He said that's what this test is for...just to see if it's intact. I think it's my head playing tricks, but this may help my head. Any thoughts on what to expect? >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 23, 2002 Report Share Posted July 23, 2002 Ceep: Have you ever hit the nail on the head......it feels so weird to finally, after 45 years *not* have a weight problem. I just keep probing and prodding. Your note may help me relax a bit and enjoy the miracle. in Austin RNY April 1998 on image shifts/ d bandas > Dear : > Regardless, hang in there; there is a haunting that goes on for those of us > who still feel like we have been goodly enchanted as though in a fairytale... > somewhat like Cinderella, and we worry that at some as yet unforseen midnight > we will turn back into mice and pumpkins again.
