Guest guest Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 ''I LOVE THIS SURGERY!!!! can't say enough about it,and when someone says " oh,you have had that surgery,I say NO I have had the DS, which is better..lol God bless, Pat'' I Love this surgery too. In researching WLS I found that only the DS would do. I then took a couple of years to find the right surgeon, of course my choice was superb! I have dealt with many RNY'rs. They all seem to act as if no other form of surgery exists. I went to a local WLS support group for 5 years while researching and waiting approval & surgery date. It was open to " all " but I was the only DS in the bunch. Talk about the 'Look " and the weight gain. I was around long enough to see a great deal of the ole timers regain most or all of their weight loss. It usually happened near that 3 year out mark. OH...I am so off topic!

Ya tell them to STICK IT WHERE THE SUN DONT SHINE! ok... reality: you say " I cant believe you said such a nasty thing to me. Do you know what it is like to be over 250 pounds and lose half yourself? If you dont, then you have NO RIGHT to say anything to me! " . Then you tell them that you would NEVER buy anything from someone who would treat a customer (or a HUMAN BEING for that matter!) with such disrespect. If you dont get an immediate appology (and a really GOOD one!), WALK AWAY and never look back! You are beautiful. You have come so far it is unimaginable to the average person. They have NO CLUE what it is to be like us. They have NO CLUE what REAL fat is all about. WE KNOW you are beautiful inside and out. Stupid bitches.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Hi Vicki, so sorry to hear about your son. I know what your son is going through as I have rheumatoid arthritis and after a long remission it came back when I was 15 yrs old with a vengence and I had to deal with it as well as try and go to school. Perhaps the school might have a program for transporting those students who are unable to attend due to long term illness or perhaps your transit system has a special bus to take your son to school and back for the similar fee to that as taking the bus. It got so bad for me that I had to drop out of school and get a tutor in order to get my credits and pass the grade. I remember about 12 years ago I had my left wrist fused surgically as the pain and swelling was unbareable....it actually felt like 100 pounds. It was the best thing that I did for my wrist although I was scared as I didn't know how I would be able to manage with a fused wrist but it's been 12yrs now and I'm so glad I did as I don't notice a difference and it really doesn't affect me in anyway. My right wrist is pretty bad and I have a feeling that a fusion will need to be done in the not so far off future. I do like to hold off as long as I can before having surgery but I know from having the first one done that when the time comes to have the right wrist done that it will be a decision well made. It's so nice not to have pain there anymore and to have things like watches and bracelets fit the wrist since it's not swollen and lumpy from all the destruction inside. I wish your son all the best.

My son has stills- he is 22. IHe too is having severe pain in his wrists and the doctor has him wearing hard moulded wrist splints of a night to immobilise his wrists. He also waers smaller ones during the day when his wrists are too painful to bear. He has had stills since November- diagnosed very quickly. Having read Dr Cush's article I am scared for him that his wrists will fuse! Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
