Guest guest Posted November 13, 2000 Report Share Posted November 13, 2000 Hi: I don't know how much inspiration I'll be but I can tell you that this is the best thing that ever happened to me..and a lot of wonderful things have happened to me. I have lost 80 pounds in five months. My advice would be for you to download the patient manual and read it from front to back. It will answer many of the questions you asked and many you haven't even thought of. Secondly, read all the emails that time allows you. You'll learn a great deal that way too. You have landed in a wonderful place. You've landed in a place where you will be supported and encouraged to make the best decision you can for YOU! We won't tell you what to do but we'll support whatever you decide.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2000 Report Share Posted November 14, 2000 Hi, everyone of course I've rec'd the dreaded email, but I won't let her stop MY research of the surgery. I'm going to find out all the information that I can, and with the success stories that I see everyday from this site, I feel that this is going to be the right thing for me. I don't know how LT is getting to all the newcomers, but she is definitely sending her story to all newcomers. What do I need to do in order to not receive anymore of her emails while I'm making my decision? Please tell me, because I need all the positive and TRUTHFUL outcomes of this surgery!

I read the first one because I did't know it was from here. The 2nd I deleted without reading, then put the block on her. Haven't had one since. I was pre-warned by my friend and post-op Dede.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2000 Report Share Posted November 14, 2000 Don't know what to do, to stop them from coming,, but do know all you have to do is hit the delete whenever she sends you something, anyways that is what most of us do!!
