She talked about another upper GI and scope before doign surgery but I've had 3 upper GI's so I think I'm goign to nix that idea. The scope however will be good to detiremin my pouch is ulcer free and ready to attach again. Cant do much about the original stomach.... no way to tell without a G-tube being inserted and my surgeon hates them... more trouble than they are worth accordign to her...lol She wrinkles her nose every time we talk about it.. it's rather amusing.

I've found a few ladies that have had reversals and are very supportive about it. They all are doing good since and most have kept the pounds off. That's a huge motivation for me. I plan to stay aroudn the board for support after surgery because I will still need to keep those pounds off! it will be even harder without the tool.

I'm still scared.... it's a huge choice to make... but I am getting more comfortable by the day so I'm happy about that.

Again thank you for hte support!
