Murphy's Law is screaming my name

Jun 16, 2010

If I ever meet murphy, i am going to kick murphy so hard, he/she will be singing soprano 1 forever, rolled up in a ball.

I can't believe it.  The DS doesn't look like it may happen.  After my surgeon reviewed my operative report from1994, the DS  may not be a viable option. 

The recommendation is a RNY and it may have to be done open.   That is not an operation I want.  I have done my research and people gain weight with that surgery 5 - 7 years after, then they have to go in for revisions.  Another surgery???  I don't want that.  Then the dumping syndrome scares the crap out of me.  I had a lap band, I know what it feels like to get food stuck.... i NEVER want to feel that again in my life.  The drooling, the pain, the praying "I'll never do this to myself again, please let it come up or pass through."  I can't believe this is happening to me.  

Then to top it all off, I was told I have 2 small ulcers.  They have to heal first before I can proceed with my surgery.  They showed up in the endoscopy, but not in the Upper GI barium swallow (they must be tiny) .....  UGH!!!!!!!!!!!

I am going to look into getting a second opinion.  My surgeon is excellent, but I want to be 100% positive that the DS can not be done, before I commit to an RNY.  I'm so upset, depressed, disappointed and just plain sad.
