Re: to clarify some facts about bile reflux

[Guest guest]

the following is for your information, post ops and pre ops. Please DO NOT

POST THIS on LT's list as I am not writing this to inflame or upset anyone but

just to clarify some facts. LT has a right to her opinion and I wish her well

but hope that each one of you will not only listen to LT and other individuals

but will also research the facts.

1. Lurk the following lists for several months and READ every message:

DS Post op:

http://www.egroups.com/group/DS_PostOp

WLS graduates

http://www.egroups.com/group/Graduate-OSSG

On the above site, there are a couple with MGBs with NO complications even

after a couple of years.

2. Read the Norman Ackerman book, FAT NO MORE which can be found on

www.amazon.com. This is the only book available on WLS and it's really

excellent!

3. Totally read and study Dr Rutledge's excellent website! It will take you a

while - there is a lot of information there but take that time to do this.

4. Listen with caution to zealot post ops (or zealot pre ops!), either yeah or

nay. They feel strongly but may not be furnishing the best info when they are

trying to sell you for or against their particular procedures. Look at facts

and you will find that the MGB stands up well!

5. Here is a neutral website.

http://gastricbypass.netfirms.com

Sorry there is no negative info about the MGB on this site (If you REALLY read

the anti-MGB physicians site, they don't say ANYTHING specific and link to

LT's site... questionable ethically, in my book - and if you read LT's site

and get to her medical documents you will find she's lost weight and only has

'mild gastritis' from the so called bile reflux, so what's the problem?) ...

I'm waiting to find any 'life threatening' complications... I've met no one

with this, only a couple of bile reflux and " MILD " gastritis, not life

threatening in my book. Most folks, over 1000 now, are wildly happy with their

MGBs... what can I say?

Back to lurk mode,

SueW

PS: there is a rather high number of medical providers (including physicians)

who chose the MGB... maybe they know something?

Thankyou.

This is the type of helpful and non-judgemental feedback I was looking for,

the reference to Dr Ackerman's book is particularly useful (as you say there

is lot of information on the website and I had not found this link yet). I

am also very impressed with the results that Dr R is achieving and I will

follow your advice and keep on lurking and learning.

I do not mean to upset anyone by asking " sensitive " questions or impose on

people who believe I should follow the exact path they chose to follow, I

just want to know the facts as much as possible so I can make an informed

decision. As you would be well aware MO and the decisions I will be making

affect not only me but also my family.

My thanks to the other people who have also supported me so far in my quest

and to those who have offered encouragement.
