Guest guest Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 Hello, My name is and I am 34 years old. I am in the process of trying to get bypass surgery done. I have had the pretesting done, however, I suffer from FSH Muscular dystrophy and was told by my nuerologist that there could be complications due to have a muscular disease. I have tried diets and not been successful. I am now just over 300lbs. The heaviest I have ever been. Has anyone with Muscular dystrophy ever had this surgery performed? If the decision is left up to me I will go forward with the surgery. I would appreciate hearing from anyone that has had this done with MD. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Hi , I don't have MS but I saw a couple similarities between you and I. I am 34 and was 300 pounds at my max weight prior to surgery. I was relatively healthy (asthma, sore knees and feet, stomach probs) before surgery and pretty much sailed through. Your predicament is something I can't imagine but I wish you the best of luck...this surgery is such a life changer. I hope if you can safely have it that it works out for you.
