Guest guest Posted November 6, 2000 Report Share Posted November 6, 2000 Hi Gwen in Durham, This is Gwen in Georgia. I understand what you are feeling, I was only 24 hours before leaving for Durham when I got my " Dreaded E- Mail " and " She " managed to put some doubts in my mind. I was nervous and hurried and she got me at my weakest moment. I had to stop take a breath and remember all " MY " research and most of all my PRAYER. If you have done your research like you should you know the side effects of morbid obesity, one of them being a subatantial increase in cancer as well as dozens of other things. The way I see it is that there are side effects and dangers in everything we eat and everything we do, you have to weigh what is important to you.It is a whole lot easier to fight a serious illness if you are in good shape than it is if you are 100-200 lbs. overweight and suffering the effects of morbid obesity (diabetes, hypertension, edema, etc). I had my MGB 9/29 and believe with my every breath and being that I did the best thing I could have done for myself. I am down 38 lbs. and 10 inches. I feel better than I have in years. I am pain free and medication free. Some days I smile so much my face gets sore. And most importantly " I " am in control of my life again. You better believe if there were the people having the complications that LT sends e-mails about they would be sending out warnings, " 900+ " of them. But there is only one. Ask yourself why. I will be glad to be a contact for you or share my experience with you, if you like, just e-mail me privately. Good luck in making your decision. Just remember research will set you free. Sincerely, Gwen in GA MGB 9/29 - 314 11/3 - 276 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
