Re: RNY vs DS problem chart

[Guest guest]

Toni,

I have come across this page in my research also, and I pointed it

out to an RNY girlfriend. She pointed out some glaring incorrect

statements on it. She then referred me to an RNY site with a similar

table and there were GLARING inaccuracies about the DS on it.

I am frustrated that the personal sales agenda of the people creating

the chart incite them to exaggerate or totally mispresent

information. Go to any RNY site and all they will focus on is the

disgusting smell of bowel movements and chronic diarrhea and bowel

movements.

I am only pointing this about because you have to follow the

annotations (when provided) to get to the meat of the information. I

think there are two statistics that are critical. The first is

quality of life. If any of us were good at dieting, we probably

wouldn't need a surgery. A surgery that most mimics a modified diet

or life style is probably critical for all of us. The second most

critical statistic is permanent, long term weight loss. Why would

anyone want to go through the committment and discomfort of any

surgery for a short term gain???

The best thing with Magruders site,

http://www.duodenalswitch.com/ is that she has all the source

materials. People who I have referred there, have been extremely

impressed and influenced especially those who were convinced that

somehow they needed to be punished in order to change their lifestyle

or lose weight! Hell, I know how well I respond to punishment!

Laughing.

Anyway, just a heads up if you refer that site to anyone who has

actually studied the different surgeries in advance!

Hugs,

Theresa
