I want to thank all of you who responded to my letter. I had no idea

that there were others with the problem. Dumb of someone who

researched the surgery so " carefully " . You made me feel so much

better. Re the revision, I'm not sure that is the way I want to go

right now. I'm looking at my second knee replacement sometime this

year. And since I'm 59, I just don't know about more wls. I am going

to find someone to scope my pouch tho-the more I think about this

the madder I get. I think that I prefer being mad and proactive

rather than sad and sorry for myself.

The very best of luck to all who have this problem and are getting

revisions. I hope that it works out for you. At the very least you

have given me ammo to educate the uninformed about this aspect of

the surgery.

Judy, I hope you shout about it loud and clear to anyone and everyone you get

the chance to, including support groups. I've been asked to write an article

on it for " Beyond Change " and am gratified to have one more outlet to educate

others about the situation. Spread the word. Action is better, as you said,

than a pity party.

Carol,

I keep meaning to ask but is it better to have a horizontal pouch or

vertical? I remember a discussion about it, but can't recall.

I have a nasty ulcer and it's looking like surgery to repair the darn

thing, so while I'm at it, thought I'd make sure I have the better pouch.

I'm really glad that you are going to write an article about stomas,

can't wait to read it.
