Guest guest Posted November 1, 2000 Report Share Posted November 1, 2000 I got the Dreaded LT e-mail today. I probably should have just discarded it without reading it, but you know human nature. I wonder how she got my address....... In any event it was uncomfortable reading and stated intellectually enough to cause doubts. But I think, for me, I have to remind myself that her disappointment has given her an agenda or motive to want to disrupt this whole happy family. It's sad because she is very bright and probably the kind of person I would enjoy in other circumstances. I think probably the most comforting thing for me, too, is if there were the kind of " reflux " problems she describes occurring commonly, we certainly would have heard all about it by now from all the other post-ops. But I just keep hearing " no problems " from everyone and " just lost 70 pounds " and that sort of thing. Sorry to bore you all with another rehash, but it's a little disconcerting to be the firsthand recipient of this kind of thing. Anyway, I'm scheduled to dance on the 9th. I've got the flight ($161 round trip via priceline); the room (a suite at Hawthorne for $55 a night through MedStay); the rental car (through PriceLine) at $18 a day and good friends to look forward to meeting (Christy and Debbie especially). Write me back with your thoughts (as this will cause me great cheer)! Love, Sperb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 1, 2000 Report Share Posted November 1, 2000 I've been getting LT letters also. she must be getting on a manic high or something. I'm in the process of finding out how to block her and report her to AOL. I don't know her, don't care to know her, do not like her tactics, and prefer to do my research myself not blindly get the screaming memmies because she has enlightened me. I do not read her mail. But I've had enough medical background to be comfortable with the information and to validate what's reasonable and what's not. Enough, I'd rather spend my time sending good vibes to the lucky folks who are crossing over and checking for posting from all the great people who write in regularly. You wouldn't believe all the people I have put on prayer alert,,,there's going to be so many candles lit, that the churches in New England won't have to turn the heat on.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2000 Report Share Posted November 1, 2000 Dear Sperb, One of my father-in-law's favorite sayings is " paper will hold still - you can write anything you want on it. " Just remember that everyone has different perceptions regarding this or any other surgical procedure. Someone said the other day that an informed decision would probably include as a contact for their packet. The only way you will ease your own mind is to rely soundly on all the research you have collected to this point. Everyone will come to a different conclusion at a different time and what she does or doesn't say may or may not effect you. You're the only one that knows best for you and when you're satisfied that you have collected enough information to make a rational, informed decision (for this procedure, against this procedure, for anything), then piss on the rest of it whether it is from her or from us. I think it's best not to feed into her or her agenda. I know that when I was ready to go to Durham is when her latest escapades were full blown. I have three children. I have a wonderful husband and life is good. Did I want to risk that just not to be fat? It's a personal decision that only you can make. I know that for a period of a week I didn't even go near the computer because I was afraid of what was being said. (That and conflict gives me a stomach ache). I just wanted to be a peace with the decision I had made for myself and know that I had researched and prepared more for this that practically any other thing in my whole life. Have confidence in yourself. If it is right for you - will be the first to know. Best wishes, Tarri in Missouri MGB 09-29-00 329/294 Re: The Dreaded E-Mail > I got the Dreaded LT e-mail today.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2000 Report Share Posted November 1, 2000 So happy to hear of your up coming trip. I hope to dance dec 28 or 29. What you said about is true. She is very smart and elloquent with words and she can put doubts on your head. I feel like this though, there are so many people who have research this type of surgery, there are so many pcp's out there who support it, and we actually have a couple of women who had the surgery whose husbands are physicians. Now you know that these guys have an inside track and have researched it many times over. What I find so interesting about LT is that she talks about all of these complications occuring any where from 5-20 years down the road but she has the problems now and she just had surgery. Go figure. I look at it like this, you arent going anywhere before your time and If I can live 5-20 as a normal size person and do all the things I want and would love to do with my kids then its worth it. Man you see why I dont post much....ok Im going to shut up now...LOL Robin At 01:06 PM 11/1/00 -0800, you wrote: >I got the Dreaded LT e-mail today.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2000 Report Share Posted November 1, 2000 Tarri, Thanks for the thoughtful words. For me, I guess I just want a life. The first 41 years have been a little empty and I keep thinking that maybe the next 41 won't have to be wasted on fat and food. So you had your procedure on 9/29--how's it going? How do you feel?

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2000 Report Share Posted November 1, 2000 Thanks for what you had to say. You are right on! I sure wonder why people would bother to forward her this stuff? I mean why cause mischief? And, too, why would someone be so obsessed as to want to have them forwarded and want to read them? Maybe the people who forward will finally get bored and go away.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2000 Report Share Posted November 2, 2000 Dear Sperb, I feel terrific. At first I was tired but now that I have been into my regular routine for 3 weeks, the energy is climbing. I even exercise 4 mornings a week now. Before, just working was my only exercise plan. Only one puking episode after three bites of chicken lo mien. Some days I can eat more and other days only a few bites at each sitting. I don't feel guilty about wasting food anymore either. People are starting to say- are you loosing weight?? Wow. Best wishes on your journey. Tarri in Missouri MGB 09-29-00 329/294 Re: The Dreaded E-Mail > > > > I got the Dreaded LT e-mail today.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2000 Report Share Posted November 3, 2000 Jil, You will do fine and you have made a great decision for your new life. I had teh MGB 9/8/00, 8 weeks ago today. My surgery took 35 minutes and I was up walking in 4 hours. Went home and to the mall the next day, and back to work in 5 days. I was deathly afraid of pain ( Male Whimp here). Never needed a thing. To date I have never had pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or anything. The medication regimen is not bad. I am now able to eat just about anything I want to in small amounts. Some of the things that I used to love don't settle now, but thats okay. Cheese is the main one, just cant handle it anymore, doesn't taste good. The other biggest thing that I have totally lost a desire for is smoking. I haven't had a cigarette for 8 weeks, and can't imagine ever wanting another one. I have more energy and a better attitude than I have in years. My self confidence is probably soaring way to high right now. I was at Durham Regional. I am a Director fo Nursing, and we nurses are the worst patients. I have to say I have never had better care in my life. It was a great place. Okay now for the best. It is 8 weeks today and I have lost 54 lbs. I started at 364 and am today down to 308. I am leaving on a 7 day cruise in 3 weeks on 11/25. My short term goal and dream is to be below 300 for the cruise. ( Actually I started at 381, as I lost 20 lbs the 2 weeks before surgery not eating, practicing for post op not eating LOL). It will be the start of a new life for you, and the best thing you ever have done for yourself. We are all with you all the way Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love, Sperb >>> ncbrnsugah@... 11/01/00 03:24PM >>> Well I got the same email yesterday and to tell you the truth, It shook me up. I had been sooooo excited about having this surgery and now I have some doubts.
