Lynn-no, they do not warn of anything bad. They only tell you about the good things that will come. Like the need not to worry about diabetes and such. One thing he said was that it would relieve my predilection toward heart disease but it runs in the family so how can it stop that? Also, I have seizures. How can it stop those? It cannot. After further testing this week, I have resigned myself to not ever being able to drive again and am listening quietly to ya'lls descriptions of Reading, PA. I don't believe I will ever get there.

Though I've never had it done, and only know one person who has (well, now two), I'm sure someone on the list has learned something from this!!!! Let me ask. When someone goes in for gastric by-pass surgery, do they warn the person that this can happen? Just curious!!! Thanks, Becky!!! Lynn Becky wrote: Hello all! I hope you don't mind another comment on the topic of neuropathy. I started having serious problems a couple of years ago-to the point that I can no longer drive. My neurologist, Dr. Robert Simkins who is the director of Wallace-Kettering Neurological Sciences tells me that it happens quite often with gastric bypass patience because their bodies cannot hold the necessary minerals, vitamins and such. Sometimes, it is reversible but alot of times, it is not. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to PADUTCH-LIFE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message --------------------------------- Park yourself in front of a world of choices in alternative vehicles.

So sorry to hear this!!!! Well, we will just have to try to come up with more descriptions of Reading, for you!!!! as the days go by. Just keep letting us know what you would like to hear about, and I'm sure between all those born and raised there, and some who are still there, can try to paint a picture of what it use to be, and what it is now :o) Hope all goes well for you, in the future, with whatever they come up with regarding treatment for these seizures, and possible health problems. Take care!!!! Hugs from Columbia, PA_formerly from Reading, PA Lynn Becky wrote: Lynn-no, they do not warn of anything bad. They only tell you about the good things that will come.
