Re: I want y'alls feedback on this

[Guest guest]

Kari, You go for it. You'll do well. Will it be lap or open? There's not

that much difference. Some, but still, on the ObesitySurgerySupport Group

site, lots of folks with RNY are doing very well. You must do something, if

not, you're going to get too sick. So, good doc, good case, good patient,

good result. No sweat. Let us know as you go along. I am on the OSSG site,

so I'll hear ya' wherever you post. Best of luck, Kari, you're going to be

well and skinny next winter!!! PhillyJude

Kari,

It's your body. It's your choice. It doesn't matter what anyone

thinks but you. You have to live with your decision. I think you'll

be pleased with the results regardless of the procedure you choose.

Dear Kari,

This is not about Dr R or MGB it is about reclaiming our lives.

Some of us have been fortunate enough to have the skilled hands and

heart of Dr R, but he would be the first one to tell you that you do

what you have to do where you have to do it and with whom you have

to. Just reclaim your life. The support you WILL recieve here will

come no matter what your decision. You say you are desperate to have

a life, well you go get it girl.

Good Luck and my prayers are with you.

Gwen

Kari: RNY is ok. It's certainly widely done, widely accepted and many people do

very well from it. I had my choice..so I chose MGB. Had I not been given the

choice and only had RNY to choose from, I still would have done it provided I

could get it laparascopically.

Living with the extra weight is very difficult. Surgery alleviates many of the

problems that come with it. You will be fine, you will do fine, and I think you

should go for it!

Hey Kari,

Just because you won't be having the MGB doesn't mean you are no longer

a part of this family. There are a few non MGBers on this list and everyone has

something to contribute. I wish you the best and keep on posting!!!!!!

Best Wishes,

Genz
