Sassy Senior Newbie from Dallas, TX
Barb,
Thanks for the apology. Altho it wasn't necessary, it's always nice to have. I'm not upset, hurt or angry at posters who have good intentions. It is, however, annoying to have people trying to change my mind, especially since I made it clear I'm not looking for that kind of advice.
What I stated is just the facts. You and the others don't know me and don't know why I've made the choice I have.
I'm sorry the band didn't work out for you. You're a brave soul to get the RNY, especially since the sleeve is available. I think you would have to knock me unconscious, hogtie me, and transport me to an operating room against my will before I would ever get the RNY. Of all the procedures, that's my last choice. But ... different strokes for different folks.
You seem like a nice, friendly lady. Heck, if I lived in Hawaii, I might be smiling all the time like you!
Yeah, I'm really bummed that I'm back to square 1 with no doc and no date. I'm gonna take a break from my non-stop efforts and see if I can't get some mobility going. Right now, my arthritis is keeping me bed-ridden. It ain't easy but once more I'm gonna find a way to do water aerobics.
I'll friend you so we can chat more if you like. BTW how are YOU doing?
