Talk to one more DS surgeon... then make your decision from there. It seems the DS would be better for you - a woman on the lightweights board had a DS and she is not too skinny - even thought she did not have much to lose.
Topic: So Sad...................
I missed the group meeting last nite. Family obligations at last minute. Had to take my grand-daughter becaus her mom had to work late. It really isn't an obligation to take her, more like a pleasure!!!! But, I still missed seeing you all................there's always next month. Hope everyone is doing well!!!~~~~Kim
Topic: Who do you trust???
Okay, so I went to Pa to talk to a surgeon about a DS procedure becasue I was told that the RNY wasn't a possibility due to esophogeal issues. I get to the appt and he says that the DS would not be good due to acid reflux problems and that he is afraid that I will lose too much weight. He did say that the RNY would work for me and that he would be willing to do it for me. Well, I takje meds for health resaons and that was one reason that I wanted the DS. I have been fighting soooo long. my insurance would cover the RNY easier but I'm ot sure what to do. 2 doctors with 2 completely different opinions. Help!! Should call the surgeon and ask him to reconsider or just accept the offer and move on? Thanks for your help.

Good Morning Everyone - for the first time in about 8 months I went to Julie's meeting last night at Roger Williams and I was able to share my recent struggles with the group. I honestly feel so much better today that I was able to vent. I had been avoiding the group atmosphere in fear of feeling like a failure and I really appreciate everyone being so supportive and listening to me. Now that I've shared me struggles I'm seriously back on track.
Again, thank you all so much for your support - it really means a lot to me that I know I have a great group of friends that I can turn to!
