Guest guest Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Thanks for All of your input guys! This is just what I needed to hear!Donna Jordon wrote: Sorry for piggy backing your message. I just wanted to know the doctor told me I won't make it if I put on any more weight. I am healthy today and at goal, I am 1year and 1 month post op. I also know a person who had this 28 years ago and is doing really good, and says it's the best thing she ever did for herself. I guess that's why I didn't have a second thought that this is what I needed, plus not wanting to die. So you have to choice your journey. Take care.

We are close enough that when I had my surgery, she took a week off from her job and was my full time nurse....she had little experience with anything along the lines of bariatric surgery but was really concerned initially ...wondering, with the mal-absorbtion issue, what would happen as I got older. Would the mal-absorbtion cause me to be excessively sickly etc... as I went into my senior years one day. What put her mind at ease was when she went into the home of one of her patients and was talking to the patient's wife...who says "Oh, I had bypass surgery 20 years ago"...this woman is well up in years but is generally healthy, still at her goal weight and still follows her rules.Donna JordonDSJordon@...
