Guest guest Posted August 16, 2001 Report Share Posted August 16, 2001 Well, I spoke to Dr. Herron today and received depressing news. He does not recommend ds surgery for me. About 20 yrs ago, I had surgery on my sigmoid colon for diverticultis. According to the hospital report, three sections of colon was removed. Bottom line is that he feels I would have a greater problem with dirrera. He recommed RNY. I did lots of research regarding RNY and I dont think its for me. Im not happy with the dumping, possibility of food not being chewed to mush and getting stuck,also gaining my weight back. Currently, Im 420lb. The other recommendation is to find an internist, get on a diet, exercise program and Xenical. I really donot want the RNY. Right now, I am do depressed. I have to decide soon. I am schedule to have surgery 9/7 but who knows. __________________________________________________ FREE voicemail, email, and fax...all in one place.
