I didn't mean to slight you. I think it's wonderful that you decided not to have the surgery. You are doing great. You will be healthy and will live a long and happy life. And you will be able to enjoy your meals.

I would be curious as to how that doctor's brother is doing in 10 years. Sometimes doctor's advise patients to have surgery because that is more money in their pockets. That is a terrible thing to say, but I've had my share of medical problems and I was only getting worse as time went by. It wasn't until I took my situation in my own hands that I started to improve. Now I feel great!
