Complications

[Guest guest]

,

It's great to read your post--all the bad things happening around you, but you

went thru w/ the surgery, and you seem to have done great; and, as a nurse, I

realize that only the horror stories are newsworthy--that's why the WLS, as

elective surgery (which it really isn't in some cases), has gotten such a bad

rep in the first place. But, as a mother, and a patient, I am a bit more

apprehensive--which is probably better, because I'm usually so matter of fact

where medical stuff is concerned. Also, I've read those AMOS memorials and lots

of those people died either awaiting surgery or from things TOTALLY unrelated to

the surgery.

So--I'll have the surgery; I expect will elect to do so also. Thanks for

the support and answers to questions both asked and only thought.

You're all a great bunch of folks,

Dianne

I've learned -

that it's not what happens to people

that's important. It's what they do about it.

Here is a test to find whether

your mission on earth is finished:

If you're alive, it isn't.

Argue for your limitations,

and sure enough, they're yours.
