You mentioned you had 3 1/2 feet of intestine removed.

I thought it was supposed to be 6 feet. Can you tell

us why yours was different?

It seems like just yesterday we were agonizing over

insurance approval, doesn't it? Now you are well on

your way and I am counting down until next Wed!!

Margaret:

Dr. R advised my husband and I that he felt I should only have 3 1/2 feet

bypassed so I wouldn't loose too much weight. He felt that if he did 6 feet

on me I would loose way too much, and I don't want to have a revision!!! A

100lb loss will be essential for my body size, height & shape. Everyone's

body is different. I carry my weight well (people say, not me). A lot of

people didn't think I even need the WLS, and were shocked when I told them

that I weighed 240lbs (now 219).

This is something everyone should discuss with Dr. R and they need to

understand how the bypass effects our body.

I am so happy you have a date!!! We started here together as the Aetna

groupies.....LOL

Keep me posted!!!
