Guest guest Posted June 9, 2001 Report Share Posted June 9, 2001 There should be no controversy over any discussion of the relative merits of the two surgeries. I was first 100% in favor of the DS for me. After reading about the AGB, I began to factor in things like the relative risk against the weight loss and the time factor to achieve it. The AGB looked good. However, I have come back to the DS because I don't want to have a second surgery if the AGB doesn't work and, most importantly, I want quick, permanent weight loss and, eventually, the ability to eat somewhat normally. The ability to make an informed decision is enhanced by hearing from others with differing points of view. We have yet another example of some people in this group trying to merely cheerlead for their chosen procedure. I think that does a disservice to the preops. It is sad that many people have been chased off to start another group. It is pathetic that anyone would have to resort to a petition to reinstate someone who stated unpopular factual information, however she may have done so. These continuing petty little arguments is just plain silly. I stay on this list because most people provide great information. For those of you who freely share your time, experiences and suggestions, I thank you very, very much. Best - Nick in Sage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
