Guest guest Posted September 8, 2001 Report Share Posted September 8, 2001 They have a RNY'er who has reached a 3 month plateau. It is funny how they respond different than this forum......the advice ranges from herbal teas,perscription laxatives to you mane it. You have no idea how much I want to tell them go have a krispy kreme. The more I read the more enjoyment I get out of my own DS. These folks would die if I disclosed my intake on a daily basis. Great to be a DS'r. Its all good. Regards, 7/24/01 Dr. s -62# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2001 Report Share Posted September 8, 2001 I think I would be devastated if this regain happened to me with the RNY.....especially since the surgeon would have already butchered my stomach! I do think though, that since Dr Welker does both and he does the RNY in such a way that these problems dont seem to crop up, it might not happen with the way he does it. Nevertheless, the DS is by far superior, in my opinion! Judie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 9, 2001 Report Share Posted September 9, 2001 The RNYer's in my support group have problems, too. One lady has to have a revision, not because Dr. did a poor job but because she eats too much and she stretched her stoma. You can't do that with the DS. I have a friend who had the RNY and who is the one that got me to consider WLS. Since I had the DS she is always defending hers and claims to be very happy with it. But I know better. Her daughter is my daughters best friend and I hear the truth through her! LOL! Micky PS. Be careful with my name now. I'm Micky and there's another girl Mickey. She may think you were talking to her and not know what you were talking about. Re: On another forum..... > 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...
