I'm Not My Usual Cheerful Self Today

So, please pardon me and accept my apology if I happen to step on toes here. Sincerely!

 

I almost gave up on this site with the reorg. I lost a lot of the old timers who had helped me along the way. These people were wonderful. They never talked down to me or told me to go dig through past forums to find the answer. They generously shared their personal experience, (which has turned out to be invaluable). Here's where the cranky part came in, finding out that some of the older bandsters were tired of answering all the questions for the newbies and they should start asking their doctor and not them, unless we wanted to pay this person. (I'm sure she was being snarky). I've read things like if you don't like it... don't read it... block me... I don't care. What in the world has happened to you that you could be so cruel to people who were not so long ago on the same path you were on? Just HATEFUL. I know this person doesn't need my respect, validation, or approval... so they definitely don't have it.

 

If the people on this site bother some folks so much then I think its time to leave. It's kinda like when you get older and have to stop driving! You're running too many people over to have anybody listen to you. BTW. I can usually let things run off my back but after seeing post after post. I had to vent.

Not usually a whiny ******!

 

Best Wishes To Everyone!

LAP-BAND Patients

This forum attracts people of all ages and education levels. I had never used a forum before so I never really knew the "rules" or etiquette. Some people are just not computer savvy at all. I agree people should be more patient. I'm new to the lapband and I enjoy coming here every day. I can see how the same old questions get tiring but I do my best to answer questions from people newer than me.
