HAVING KIDS / Church of DS

October 28, 2001

Hi, all!

I have an intelligent, college educated, and usually well informed friend,

who lives a few hundred miles away that recently told me that she'd had a RNY in

May. (I haven't *seen* her for over a year.) By the way, she's happy and is

losing weight like crazy!

After asking if she'd considered a DS, she said yes, but decided on RNY just

in case she meets Mr. Right and wants to have children. I didn't have the heart

to tell here she'd made an error--that it's the DS that's better for pregnant

women. Ahhhh, well... d*nm. If only I'd known what she was up to....maybe I

could have steered her here to YOU folks.

I am not a religious person. But you know, there's a similarity here to my

" Born-Again " friends. I really believe I have found at least one answer to my

" prayers " --the DS. I haven't even had surgery yet but I feel like I belong to

the " Church of DS " . I preach DS to any who want to know.

Please, do not be offended by my remarks. I don't mean to be sacrilegious.

I'm just showing how passionate I feel about the surgery after all I've read and

learned from Dr. W and from you all!

I am one of those women who chose the DS in particular, because I want to

have children. I am 40 years old, have never had children and part of my

decision was based on the controllability of a woman's health during pregnancy

with the DS......
