MS AND WLS...EMAIL BARB244P

I'D LIKE TO SPEAK WITH ANYONE WHO HAS MS AND ACTUALLY HAD WLS DONE...MY DR. THINKS I CAN BENEFIT FROM THIS THANKS [email protected]

Barb, I do not have MS. I have Psoriatic arthritis, which is another autoimmune disorder. I have had GB, an open RNY. My problem thus far has been healing my incision. It has taken since my surgery in September and I still have two inches left. I think it is a good idea to find out what others who have MS have experienced. What I do know about my disease is t hat it is incapacitating and it is a lot easier to get my 97 lb less body around than it was before. Just remember you are going in with a bigger risk factor than most people, and you need to know for yourself that you are willing to accept those risks. When I decided, I was 36 years old and unwilling to spend the rest of my life in a wheel chair if it wasn't neccessary. That is how I made my choice. Just make sure you have a reputable surgeon, a great support system and excellent after care if this is the road you chose. Good Luck, Kelly
