Honestly, I wouldn't be suprised if there weren't people deliberately wanting to downplay the negatives. I have seen stories, a couple on this forum, of peeps who have gone to clinics/centers specializing in nothing but GBS; they dream up seminars and things to charge you for, it seems to me. It definitely would not be in their best interest to have the complications, revisions and reversals discussed. I wonder who sponsors that radio show, hmmmm?

Me? I had the cakewalk, but you're never really out of the woods, so I follow your story and others so I can be aware of what still could go wrong, with my GBS, with a future panni, etc. I'm so sorry for what you're going through- and I absolutely believe that your side of the battle should be heard! No one should be threatened or feel threatened- the ones that won't let you talk are afraid of what they might hear. I did my homework for over 2 years- I wanted to hear it all! Not getting both sides of an story or an issue, whether about GBS, politics, religion, is just plain irresponsible!
