Blind Study

[Guest guest]

Well Folks, I knew this topic would generate some interesting

comments. I realize now that I should have prefaced the question with

some other information. I may be new posting to this site, however, I

have been actively and passionately researching WLS for more than 1

1/2 years. I am an RN and I am well aware of the differences in the

DS and the distal RNY surgeries (and the variety of other WLS that

are available). I am also well educated on the post-op lifestyles of

the RNY and the DS. I have carefully chosen a surgeon who is a leader

in his field and who is the chief of bariatric surgery at a major

teaching institution. Of course I would be told which surgery I had

post-op. To not know would be unacceptable and dangerous. I gave you

the information that I was told by my surgeon's nurse and will get

more details at my next appt. This may be my only opportunity to have

the DS because of insurance issues. I would certainly not participate

in anything that was a " Scam " or was " Illegal " . I do appreciate all

comments, especially those of Lisbeth who actually

sounded " supportive " and didn't assume I new nothing of these

surgeries. Thanks!
