Topic: RE: An email from the medical group
I have no regrets about RNY & I would do it again given all the options out there today.  VSG was my first choice and the reason I selected my surgeon.  I rejected DS because of the higher malabsorption and bowel habits; and, rejected various  band type procedures because of possible erosion issues. 

Fortunately I had no limitations on which procedure to select and I was not pressured by the surgeon to go with any one wls because he could do them all.   However, the surgeon reccomended a malabsorptive procedure for my specific situation.  Six days pre op, I agreed to RNY instead of VSG. 

My suggestion to folks making the wls decision is to hear the anecdotes but remember they are just stories.  There are too many cheerleaders for their wls choice and haters of the procedures they decided against.  Then add in the general fat phobics who knows someone who... and you have nothing of value.  Verified clinical data is easy to find online. 

Look hard at the down sides of each procedure as much as you focus on the wl potential.  The negatives have to be bearable for life.   What is a pro and what is a con should reflect your personal likes and dislikes. 

The info you have to review will hopefully be well balanced and totally frank.  Although you know what you want you may still find something of interest.  At worst, the time spen****ching these clips will confirm you've found what's best for you.  Good luck with the whole process.

Topic: RE: Loser
You took the words right out of my mouth! Your body is trying to adjust to the changes and the surgery. You are doing really well to have lost 16lbs. Please dont compare yourself to others, i know that you are excited and expected more but it will come off! I think i lost about that much the first month too but every week, you will see 3-5lb lost if you follow the rules. Make sure you are getting all your protein in and drinking your water. You will lose it, and when you start losing it, you will be really shocked at how sturdy it comes off.

Doit girl, feel that burn!  Muscle fibers tearing & being rebuilt.  Your trainer will vary the program for max benefits without injury.  Soreness is when it hurts so good.  Real pain is a warning. 

Enjoy feeling the burn.  It sure beats sore joints from carrying too much weight.  Congrats on working out.

Technology rocks. Laying on the beach watching the Olympics on my ipad that I am down loading from my Tivo at home, while uploading pics of the beach that all my friends and family can see instantly on facebook, while chatting with my nephew who just had surgery on my cell phone.

TECHNOLOGY ROCKS!!
