(Of course, I'm obliged to add that we can argue all day and night as far as I'm concerned, and it is a good and educational pastime. Arguing is good; attacking, not so much. Attacking remains a big honking no-no. <g>) M. --- in Valrico, FL, age 39 Lap DGB/DS by Dr. Rabkin 10/19/99 Starting weight 299, now 153 Starting BMI 49.7, now 25.5 Starting size 26/28, now 10/12 http://www.duodenalswitch.com/Patients/M/melaniem.html Direct replies: mailto:melanie@...

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2001 Report Share Posted December 10, 2001 I love to argue, however arguing over people's " armchair quarterbacking " is really a moot point. In my opinion sharing is better than flaming. Part of having a mind is having the sense to keep it open. yup, my two cents..NEXT!

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2001 Report Share Posted December 10, 2001 I started this " trip " after reading about Carney. I am one who believes in taking responsibility for my health by checking doctors and treatments out with other patients. Very quickly I found the DS surgery. After reading the pros and cons between RNY and DS, I knew that the DS was for me. I want to live as normally as possible after surgery....isn't this the point of surgery? I felt that the DS allowed me a more normal life and eating style. I will forever be grateful for those who have posted their experiences on the different WLS websites. I don't feel that " fighting " is the way to go...however, sharing truthful information about the benefits and problems that patients experience is priceless! If a few " flames " , " fights " and " burns " are the price to pay for such a wonderful sharing group....to me it is worth it...I just use my " delete " button it I don't agree or find the response offensive.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2001 Report Share Posted December 10, 2001 Well said, Jerry!! and ... I have no trouble with " heated discussion " <G> unless it degenerates into a slam-fest.. so YES! Debate, argue, discuss.. without slamming, flaming, or personal attacks- go for it! Hugs, Liane PS- Jerry- no news on the insurance front? > I started this " trip " after reading about Carney.
