Intro(and response)
“KikiJae” <kikijae@…
Dear KiKi - Yes, you will die. One day. But, it won’t be from this surgery. I
have no idea if you are doing the right thing. Only you know the answer to that
and only you CAN answer that. I also have no idea if you will be sucessful. I
can offer this to you: Are you ready and willing to make this PERMENANT
LIFESTYLE CHANGE? If yes, then most probabily yes. If no,….
My name is Glenn and I had the open RNY on August 20, 2001. I have lost almost
105 pounds and I feel great. I am suvccessful because I work with the greatest
practice (in my opinion) in the country. It is the Vascular Disease Institute
and Obesity Surgery Center in Gainesville, Georgia. They have a website I
suggest to you (www.vdos.org) and I love them because we work hard on the
long-term to this change which is the mind and mental focus for success. The
surgery itself is but a tool, not unlike a hammer or tape measure. However, the
surgery is only a tool which can be used improperly and broken if mis-treated.
The key to long term sucess id to understand how many of us got morbidly obease
in the first place. Was food a coping mechanism for something else we needed
but didn’t get from our love ones? Did we internalize our emotions and eatas
our release?
You will be fine and the surgery will be “sucessful” (however you define) if you
prepare yourself completely, which means both physically and mentally.
Feel free to respond and I will offer you what I can.
Be Blessed. Glenn
