Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Dear Fliss. Dont feel bad about being torn , I had the same problem.... My gastrointerologist who is also a professor did not condone my surgery as well. He had traeted me for over five years, but did tell me if i were to do the big surgery to go to minnesota to have it done. On the other hand he told me I would not survive and if i did make it through that the complications would kill me. He also advised that if i made it through everything that I wouldnt be much better so i would have done it for nothing and he would no longer keep me as a patient. To this day he refuses to see me. This decision is very difficult, I really understand how you feel. It is very scary especially without your doctors support. Just search deep within yourself and decide what is best for you. Ask yourself if you would be satisfied with the smallest bit of improvement. If you would there is your answer..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
