Would like all of us to get our voice heard.

Hello everyone,Since my surgery I have been writting in a journal,and know that I am not the only one.But I want to make mine into a book.I want to have a chapter with people who have had this surgery,both open and lap,can write a letter telling of the reason that led up to the surgery and during and after.What helped them to make them feel better.And what they did to make them feel real bad.What foods was better for them.I want people to know that this surgery is a true benifit for people.If I hadnt had this surgery I don't know what I would have done with my health problems.As I am sure of so many others of you.I have had problems with excess fluid,but from my hernia not the RNY Open.There is so much I have been hearing against this surgery, I want people to know that if you follow the rules and use the tool the Dr. gave you then you will see results and alot of times be able to get off alot of your meds.There has been some bad,But so much more good has come from our surgerys.The journey is amazing and exciting.Sometimes right after surgery we have to put up with alittle pain and having fluid drawn out,But not from the RNY Open. So if you would like to be heard and be added to my chapter in the journal just for your letters,please do send me this or e-mail me one.You can put your name on it or not that is up to you.This is my first attempt of something like this and the life changing journey I am on has made me want to finish something for once.And to let others know that this is a journey to better health and a better us. Thank you in advance.I have one letter and two more comming.Send to Karen Hannah 380 2nd st ne Primghar,IA 51245 e-mail is [email protected] Thank you Karen
