Guest guest Posted September 8, 2001 Report Share Posted September 8, 2001 Mickey, Stuck up doesnt even describe it! Some of them are very arrogant and rude to the point that you are censored for what you say about the DS! Im sure they must feel somewhat guilty for not doing all their research but there are some who are happy with what they have. If you take a look at the ossg hungry group you will see its filled with RNYers and they have a big problem with weight regain and eating issues. I had one woman ask me upon sharing what I could eat....she said " now why would you want to do that to your body?? " (eating prime rib with baked potato etc......sounds like she was a bit hungry??? I feel sorry for them! Judie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 8, 2001 Report Share Posted September 8, 2001 Actually I don't think you can stretch your stoma by eating. The early edema is often a problem. And as the stoma heals and the edema gies away, the stoma will be larger. Think of it as the drain hole in your tub. It doesn't get bigger because of the amount of water you put in the tub. And if any doctor had done a " poor job " do you imagine they would say that openly? in Seattle > The RNYer's in my support group have problems, too.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2001 Report Share Posted September 9, 2001 My support group through my dr. is the same way. When us DSer's started talking about what we were eating, they all looked at eachother like, Why didn't anyone tell us of this surgery. And some are even stuck up to us!! You can't blame them. I feel very lucky that I had surgery when I did. Micky Re: On another forum..... > same here . Ive wanted to tell them to go eat a krispy kreme too LOL > > They kicked me out of the group for singing the praises of the DS > > Judie > > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
