Guest guest Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 > Jo > > Was that lady who had the revision re-reducing the common channel or just the stomach? She just shortened her commom channel to a 50cc. Didn't touch her stomach....her stomach was still doing a good job with restriction, not allowing large volumes. Kristy, I think your beautiful and you look THIN (not sick or Skinny but NORMAL THIN) You are tall, and after DS the scales will " fool " people, they will think you weigh much less than what the scales say. I really don't think a revision would be worth the risk for you. Loosing more weight is no longer a " HEALTH " issue for you, so the risk isn't worth it. If its a reduction of the stomach, you have to look at 's case real hard and think....If it's a reduction of the bowel you have to think, is the likelyhood of stinkier bowel movements and increased Gas really worth it...lol...after all, a single gal really does need to remain 'socially acceptable' lol. Jo Last month I visited a patient who lost too much weight...she became anorexic, she knows it, she knows she is in trouble. Given a choice I would rather be 50 pounds overweight than 20 pounds under. Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
