Walter Lindstrom

[Guest guest]

I don't know who to address this letter to because I have many

concerns and comments about this Walter Lindstrom matter. First, I

wish, as someone else has already posted, that I knew what happened

with the gastric bypass patients 20 years ago, that likens the MGB to

its end results. Secondly, Genz, your posting was VERY

informative. As an upcoming patient for the MGB next week, reading

Walter Lindstrom's letter was confusing as well as it cast many

doubts on my 'study' findings. I imagine that there will always be

people who do not approve of this surgery, and it is multiplied by

the factor of the people that I know that don't want me to have this

surgery. I have searched myself about this surgery, knowing within

the deepest reaches of my heart and soul that this is the option that

I CHOOSE to do. No one is making this decision for me. There are

many people that come to this list and choose to leave this site

because MGB is not the answer for them. This can be witnessed by the

many pleas for UNSUBCRIBE...LOL. (Bless their hearts. The would be

candidates get innundated with information that is overwhelming and

forget how to get off the e-group list.)

I am still having my surgery next week with Joyce, and

Kim. (I know, you too, L. and a and there are others

next week) I have not attended clinic yet as my appointment is for

July 18th at 9 a.m. So far nothing, not even a probably well thought

letter by Mr. Lindstrom has swayed me. So, if that doesn't do it I

don't know what will. Thanks to whomever read this long letter...LOL

I hope it was worth the effort.

Love,

MGB scheduled July 19th with my sisters:

Joyce, , and Kim
