RE: Bad News about MGB

[Guest guest]

I've read all the bad news. I don't get 's posts. I'm apparently not on her

list. But then she knows that I've had the surgery and she knows that my doc

recommended it and she knows I'm thrilled with my decision.

I printed out all of 's cites and took them to my doc several weeks ago. He

called it BS...and pointed out reasons why the use of these particular studies

is not valid. I was just so glad to hear that he was telling me that I chose the

right surgery and that it's just what I needed that I didn't absorb the details

of the medical stuff (which bores me; just fix me and let me live better, LOL).

I KNOW that I did the right thing, had the right surgery, had the RIGHT surgeon.

And my doctor of nearly 20 years agrees. I am firm in my belief that this was

the best route for me. I don't pretend to be able to make adecision for anyone

else. But as for me...I have not one little regret..other than I wish I'd have

done it way sooner.

Thanks Kay, I think that validation is always a good thing to hear even when

we're sure...it's nice to be even more sure.

All it really took for me was to have a few friends who had RNY. I would never,

ever, ever tell them...but I am so glad that I made a different decision than

them. I give them unconditional support..but when I'm alone or with you guys..I

feel free to tell you that I know that we made the best decision!
