Topic: RE: Oh the changing season!
Hello!  I'm new here, but I thought I'd check this forum out.

Fall seems like the worst time for my fibro because of the constant changing.  Warm a couple days, cold a few,  and cold nights.  Right now it has been warm here for a week and the colors are on display and I am loving it.  I know it has to get cold soon, but I enjoy it when I can.

Hey hun,  I had a full blown , wake m eup in the middle o fthe night panic attack 2 weeks post op.  And much as you did finally rea;ized that the risk o fthe surgery is minimal when compared to the risk of remaining obese.

With that being said,  I also had peace about my decision,  i hope this change of Doctors gives you that.  I to started out with one Doctors group and actually ended up having surgery with another.  It was the best thing that could have happened to me!!!!!!!

ive has nission fudmulacation. What that is is my stomach is tied around my esophugus. This was for acid reflux but to do the bypass witch is the only one i can have done they have to first untie my stomach. They do this at the same time as surgery.

Can I ask what you mean by your stomach is tied? Have you had another procedure of some kind? If so you may need to find an exceptionally good surgeon who deals with that sort of thing. I know when people revise from a RNY surgery to a DS surgery that there are only a handful of surgeons qualified to do that surgery as it is much more difficult to do. Hope that isn't the case, cause it could put a real wrinkle in the whole process.

i would of thought that this was a hund sight thing if he didnt give me a list and say this is what you need to do. and when i went on a message board other people have had the same problem. well now i find out medacare dont require anything but my other insurence requires 6 months. so i either need none or six months. The other thing is i need to have a endoscope because my stomachs tied well this doctor wants some one else to go in an do the enoscope theother doctor will do the endoscope him self this makes more since since he will be the one going in to untie my stomach shouldnt he be the one to look in there. I dont know just feel so lost right now scared of the whole thought of it all scared of dieing my baby needs me. I just need to talk with you ladys who have had this and how you got through.
