What the heck does this mean?????? My God --- Doesn't anyone want to

rightfully know what happened with their surgery? The details? I don't find

this obsession in the least regard.

I think that any insinuation that people who want BPD/DS are 'obessed' or

abnormally 'control-oriented' is quite obnoxious, IMHO. I also am shocked

that anger and/or shock about removing the pylorus and having a BPD done

(especially when this option wasn't even discussed as a possibility) is

treated as a 'state of mind'. It's one of the main reasons people who choose

BPD/DS do so.

I hope you get through this, Deborah and I am shocked that such a thing

happened, too!

all the best
