Re: Having Doubts

[Guest guest]

Dee,

I too and fighting the insurance battle. However, I want ONLY the DS!!

My sister goes to church with two ladies who have had the RNY. They drink

ALOT of meat tenderizer in warn water (MAJOR YUK!). One has re-gained alot

of her lost weight and she is STUCK with the eating restrictions for the

rest of her life! There are alot of fresh veggies that you have to be

really careful about because they have alot of fiber and can get " hung " and

cause you to need a hospital " roter-rooter " job. I do not know if either of

the ladies has problems with dumping or ulcers. But, hey, the meat

tenderizer drink is enough to make me " dump " NOW! Think this thing through!

This is for the REST OF YOUR LIFE! Do whatever you heart tells you! The

insurance company does not have to live with this....YOU DO!

Hugs and Well Wishes!
