I am going to get back on track again..

You can call it racism, I call it truth.

No hole in my soul, so no need for you to worry about me, FPK.  Karen has gotten a lot of support here and will continue to get support here. 

Maybe you should get a brain to fill your empty hole.  The DS is a superior surgery than the RNY and making sure people know what the DS is and that it is an option is a better use of our time than pretending that it isn't.  All people hear about on TV is the lapband or the gastric bypass.  When and if they see the Duodenal forum link, often they have no interest in it because they don't even know that is another type of surgery they might have!

One can fight the RNY in order to lose weight or they can get a DS.  And once it fails, baby, no compliance in the world is going to help.  Look at all those poor souls on the revision boards.

Since, you're still in love with your RNY, let's have this conversation 13 years from now.  I know of what I speak.

THIS IS WHY PEOPLE ARE FED UP WITH YOU AND ANY DSers LIKE YOU! Either you are here to create drama to fill that vast empty void in your life or you are here to "pay it forward" and do your surgery proud. By slandering people's hair, size, intelligence FIRST and then mentioning in passing its because "the DS needs me" you prove that you dont care about pre ops, post ops or obese people. You have an agenda and that is to amuse yourself.  Unlike YOU and your kind I dont need to attack people's appearance, character, mental abilities to HELP obese people. YOU could be helping MANY people by acually describing your life with RNY and detailing the good and the bad, giving advice as to when RNY people need to seek medical advice etc. Do you? No its more fun to taunt and tease people while you pretend to be here for a good cause. Your methods in this post speak volumes to your true issues. You seriously should re-evaluate and get therapy. Your bitterness against RNY, doctors, obese people, skinny people etc is overwhelming.  You can hate me, my surgery, my words, my cause but when you break it down to hating my religion, gender, weight, looks, etc you taint every opinion you have with biased attitude. I have NEVER said RNY cant/doesnt fail. I have NEVER said DS isnt a great surgery.  RNY failing isnt a good reason to give up. Im NOT giving up. IF I have ulcers, strictures, stretching, etc I will get MEDICAL HELP. I wont sit around watching my weight climb to 300 pounds or even 200 pounds. I would rather live with the RNY and work it than get the DS and HATE it. Trust me I wasn't and still am not a good candidate for the DS. There is a reason that more than 50% of RNY people do well with their surgery, because it works for them. There is a reason the DS does not have 100% success statistics, because it just doesnt work with SOME people. You can call me stupid, but you cant back it up.  I have no delusions that this will even permiate your consciousness but I KNOW from my full email box that it does help others so I know its not wasted, just wasted on you. FPK (dont know what the F stands for but with the way you insult I imagine its "fat" nothing like obese people calling other obese people fat... sheesh)

You are offended because I think your hole is in your head but I'm not supposed to be offended when you said my hole was in my soul?

I have only insulted you and Dee in this thread one time each.  That, my dear, is not "many".

The F stands for fugley, so that theory, along with your other presumptions about me, are blown out of the water.

You say others are fed up with DS'rs like me.    You'd do much better to tell that to someone who cared, cauze trust me darlin' it ain't me.

  Probably takes more than someone making a snarky comment about a cheap, ill fitting, silly looking wig to qualify as a racial remark. 

bawaahahahaaaaaaaaaa........you just are out of your league darlin'.
