Guest guest Posted September 20, 2000 Report Share Posted September 20, 2000 I am going to the doc next week so i can get approved for the rny. Dr. Rutledge is unable to help me with the MGB as I weigh to much...423lbs and there isnt a chance in HELL I can loose 75lbs for this surgery. I know loads of you are saying... " this is the last diet you'll have to do " but it cant be done. I know this and am not going to put myself or my family thru that. I wish I could have an open MGB but there is no way Dr. R will do that. I know the RNY isnt near the surgery the MGB is but what choice do I have. I though I should leave the list but I figure it doesnt matter what surgery I have I still can use the support and advice afterwards and know no place on earth better than here. I had hoped to have the MGB in Oct and even had the package all ready and everything but since the MGB is not an option I tossed it in the shred pile last night. Since I am having the open I am going to wait till end of Jan so I am not miserable for the holidays and have a whole year to feel better.
