Eric,
I know you have struggled with all kinds of setbacks. My only worry about this proceedure is the fact they remove the part of stomach that isn't used. Like the fact they don't muck with your intestines and stuff though, and especially if you have meds to take for a potential RA situation, could mess up your absorption. If I would have had this proceedure done I would be so screwed with trying to get it reversed. I mean look at Paige.. same story. Her stomach is kind of like this from her revision. She has had a hell of a time finding a doctor who can help her. I'm not trying to scare you from doing this, only that you really think about it if it doesn't work, and fails.. how are you going to be able to be fixed? I know we all go into this thinking it won't happen to me, but it DID happen to me. Love you Eric, hope that whatever decision you come up with it will be the right one for you! Janie
