Just sent the Repair-This-or-else addendum. And, we have an offer ready to go on the next house. Because THIS fool'sAND - it's now a pig with a required-to-disclose-to-the-next-buyer home inspection. And they still have a mortgage. Sucks to be them.
Besides...this offer is contingent upon inspection and appraisal. If he won't budge for THIS round...the insoection part...then he sure won't play along when the appraisal (which I have cancelled) comes in at about $15k less than he thinks his dressy pig is worth. The comps just won't support the price we're diddling with.AND - it's now a pig with a required-to-disclose-to-the-next-buyer home inspection. And they still have a mortgage. Sucks to be them.
Charles says he has seen worse - behind the fridge.
Your professional inspection report of course alleged the Harry Homeowner repairs were NOT to code, right?
The DS was easy for me. I had mine in 2003. No malnutrition or deficiencies. If I had it to do over I would get a smaller stomach and a shorter CC.
There was a study done on bougie size and basically it said that smaller bougie did not produce any different results as far as weight loss than a larger bougie. Now the surgical technique, that is, how tight the surgeon sutures against the bougie can vary greatly.How big is your stomach and what size do you wish you had gotten? Same question for your CC...
Diana I really think we are saying the same thing and maybe I didn't convey my thoughts effectively.I disagree Scott - while in the LONG run, the size of the sleeve for DSers does not seem to matter that much, in the beginning, the majority of the weight loss comes from the sleeve, and having more restriction can make it "easier" to restrict food intake. However, the sleeve size doesn't seem to matter as much in the long run, when the switch is the reason that the weight loss stays off. My feeling (and it is just that) is that there is an "optimal" sleeve size that provides enough restriction to help restrict food intake in the beginning, while we are learning to "eat like a DSer" and that going smaller than that just causes more problems than it helps - too small leads to strictures and discomfort and maladaptive eating habits. Eventually, the stomach stretches out anyway, so making you miserable in the beginning by making it too small is counterproductive.
No, he isn't. He left for government service. His replacement is Dr. Esquerra. http://bariatricfacts.org/threads/dr-gilberto-ungson-mexicali-mx-now-dr-esquerra.1747/I just tried to contact DR Ungson, and they said he is no longer doing surgery
