Guest guest Posted September 29, 2000 Report Share Posted September 29, 2000 Hello-I am 56 which seems to be somewhat older than alot of the patients I have read about. Really anxious to have my surgery. The only thing that gives me butterflys is the risk of death. Now this comes from a person who rides motorcycles, has jumped out of a perfectly good airplane, gets put to sleep to have her teeth worked on,still rides roller-coasters (the badder-the better) worked in a functioning ammo plant and was a policewoman. (Maybe I used all my bravery up?)Any encouragement/information/reassurances you can give me would be greatly appreciated. I cannot continue to carry this " mass " of a body around for the rest of my life-the last straw was the embarrassment I felt when I had to do some poking and shoving of fat around just to fit into the roller-coaster seats. I want to enjoy the time I have left. Thanks to all you unseen and for now, unknown brothers and sisters out there. ette Kershner elvira@...
