Michele, I get you. I have always hated it when people try to ecuse misbehaviour by saying " that's just how they are " . By the way, this isn't a direct commentary on or Nick here. Just my acknowledgement that I don't feel there are many good reasons to excuse antisocial behaviour. That also includes co-dependent attention-getting behaviour as well.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2001 Report Share Posted November 24, 2001 You missed my point. I was talking about someone reacting to a small portion of YOUR post and not YOUR overall intent. I do think that is a valid explanation of what happened here. Not the ONLY explanation, but certainly one way to see it. Misunderstanding the meaning OR the intent are also things that happen here. More often some days than other days. Assume good intent. /Seattle - In duodenalswitch@y..., " B.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2001 Report Share Posted November 24, 2001 The good news is that you and only you are in charge of how you feel. No one can " hurt " your feelings. You own them, create them and experience them. The bad news is that you and only you are in charge of how you feel. No one can " hurt " your feelings. You own them, create them and experience them. When any of us give other people credit or blame for what we are feeling we are acting on a falsehood. Perhaps a more accurate statement would be, " when you said that to me I responded by feeling hurt. " When individuals try and pin responsibility for their feelings on others, we have a series of posts like the ones that have followed your response to Al and other posts. I'm sorry that your feelings hurt just as I am sorry when someone skins their knee and hurts. However, I totally reject your belief that someone else caused your feelings. I hope you find a way to allow yourself to better. No one can fix this for you BUT you. That's the good and bad news. And I hope this helps. /Seattle > I thought we were here to help one another.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2001 Report Share Posted November 25, 2001 , Your surgeon told you exactly what my surgeon told me and what all my research has indicated. The DS is absolutely reversable. The intestines can be reversed to original and the stomach, while smaller should return to " normal " size, normal does not mean pre operative stretched beyond belief size, but to normal! laughing. hell, I don't ever recall being normal. Hopefully, this will not be an issue for any of us, but I do think its a critical issue to evaluate when making your decision!

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2001 Report Share Posted November 25, 2001 , I didn't mean to rain on your parade. Only for you to be absolutly sure of what you are gettin into, and to get the information from your surgeon, rather than from someone who might be guessing. It is better to be safe than sorry. Vascectomys were considered non -reversable, but 26 years ago I had mine reversed, and the operation almost killed me. My own surgeon says it is not to be considered reversable. My DS was less than 2 weeks ago, so now we have a difference of surgeon's opinions. Which one will you believe, and why? As a student of the Internet, (my major in Computer Science), I can tell you that 90% of what of the unpublished material you read on the internet is not accurate. By unpublished, I mean in a recognised professional journal. We are all here to support each other, but I leave major decisions to proffessionals, just as you did. > > DS should not be considered reversable.
