Re: can you have fun with pre-op stuff?

If they found out the testing was for WLS

they either tried to talk me out of it or made sure I

knew how totally it would not work.

Oh , I can so totally relate! (ok I was a valley girl a looooong time

ago!)

I am an RN, and the women I work with always are trying to talk about how

" awful " wls is etc. They all know someone who had it and did terrible, yada

yada yada. I try to explain the difference between the RNY that their friend

had and the DS and usually get a blank look. Ugg and these are supposed to

be educated people.

At least the girls up on the 5th floor at Kennestone--where I used to

work--know Dr. , and the WLS, and the patients by now, and know what to

expect, and dont try to talk me out of it, or tell me to " just " diet, or

" its too drastic a measure to have surgery " . Hmph! Like they have to live in

this 380 pound body, doing 12 hour shifts.

Sorry to have rambled on so long, but sometimes the attitudes just get to

me. =)
