Guest guest Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 Becki, What's a matter with those docs? Are they bonkers?? There's no way you need to lose 50 pounds!!!! Just doesn't seem right. Do they want you to be so scrawny you cant survive the surgery or something?!!? If all else is in the right category I just don't understand why the weight is a problem. It would be different if you were obese and the weight was a health hazard. Sorry to hear the bad news. You just hang in there!! Love ya, Aunt B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 Your post gives me goose bumps! I am so sorry that they rejected you. How awful! Who would have thought! I always thought that the more someone with CF weighed, the happier the doctors were. I saw your picture when you did the TV interview. I don't see where you're going to find 50 pounds to lose (or even 20). I wish that I could help you. Please keep us informed.

I don't understand it!! I am sure after the surgery is done you will lose a lot of weight. Keep us posted. Deb A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
