Guest guest Posted July 10, 2000 Report Share Posted July 10, 2000 I have a question and don't think I have ever heard anyone ask it before. I have lost several close friends in the past year that were all young and it sure made me think about my own mortality and the fact that others in my life could be taken from me at any time. Has anyone ever wondered what would happen if, God forbid, something happened to Dr. R? What would happen to his patients? What if someone needed a revision or was having a problem and since he is the only one that does this particular WLS...what would happen? I always worry about these kinds of things and just wondered if it had crossed anyone else's mind. I am not trying to be morbid and surely hope Dr. R lives a very long and happy life but the truth is we are all going sometime and I was just curious. I was also very disturbed by Walter Lindstoms letter. Anyone have any thoughts on that?? Holly in Illinois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2000 Report Share Posted July 10, 2000 Holly, Sure I am concerned! I was concerned before my surgery too. But With any one of these surgeries you have to be concerned each one of them are life threatening, You could die. You could die leaving your home to. I am living, Sure maybe down the road I might get cancer or some other horrible disease and Die. IT could happen But What did happen was I am no longer on all my diabetic meds, or kidney meds. I know what road I was heading there, and it was deep. Now I am on the road to recovery and weight loss. None of us knows what the long term effect will be with any weight loss surgery, some work out and some don't. But I do know that if this was the wrong choice I can have it reversed, But not the other surgeries I would just have to live with it. Just my very tired need to be in bed cents worth.
