Guest guest Posted July 30, 2001 Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 Joe, The week before I was switched I seemed to focus on the posts that had problems. I scared myself and decided that I wasn't going to go through with the surgery. But, I can't walk or move very well at my weight and my heart has been damaged by phen-fen. Every diet or weight loss attempt has side affects. I think I have had a great many of the bad side affects from the diets that I have tried, heart damage, kidney failure, bleeding ulcers, etc. and I gained back all the weight that I lost plus some. I decided to stop reading any negative posts, I knew the risk and I wanted to end my misery. I was switched on May 9, and all went great. I've lost about 60 lbs and will never gain this back again. I have had a few complications but I am not sorry that I did this. The final decision is yours, you have to decide if you want to live your life as you are or as a new person. Pray and do your research and you will make the right decision for you. Ellen from TX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
