You are a very sad sorry individual for "telling on me" when all I did was recommend something for the first time ever! I have been a member for 2 years!!!! Never did I sicitate or mention these products. I wish you would have been a grown adult and asked me or let me know I was offending you. And for your information sad no life individual who are most Likely a jealous type to waste your time snitching. I have friends on this forum who have tried the wraps with me who are veterns to this site. And jealous sorry individual why don't you mind your own business and let me and my tighter Skin rave about what works for me! Now go tell on me again! That is the sad thing about the Internet, you grow more balls when not face to face, now run And tell on me little kid with no life!

Thank You everyone

Yes the wraps do work. How do I know? Documenting measurments and pictures! Like I said, there are alot of scams out there, but I have been using a product for approx 5months. I put before and after pictures with the link where to buy the products and I GOT INTROUBLE.. I guess the people following the thread took it as I was solicitating. I got a message from admin stated quite a few people complained that I was advertising, I wasn't.

I never mentioned the wraps until someone posted a question on what creams have people used to help with the scaring. So I mentioned the wraps/creams I have been using. Just that 1 time! I time I mentioned the product, 1 comment, I didn't advertise on different threads and/or send people private messages etc... just that 1 time. sorry I am going on and on,

That is the thing I guess from some of the newbies who don't know us veterans, lol. I have been a member for approx 2 yrs and been sleeved since March 1st 2011.

Maybe people don't know who JaspersGirl is because most of them are newbies... but yes, I am read and not a fraud trying to sell stuff.

Awhile ago I put up a status stating I was going to try some wraps recommended to me (this was I think in April or May), everyone was saying, oh please tell us if they did really work. Yes they did. I haven't been on here much due to my work schedule, I use to work 3days a week, now I work 5.

It really hurt my feelings that people actually reported me... but I totally understand.

I know I am going off track here, but I guess I am still hurt and feel betrayed in a way? It's still on my mind and afraid of even mentioning anything.

I am 5ft even. Postoperative 237lbs on march 1 2011, lost approx 80lbs now weighing 158, my goal is 130lbs

I can't find the comment on where to find the link for the trainer person. I do wraps and are helping a lot!!!!!!!! But I want to continue my success through excersice as well

Can I ask not for anyone not to mention my wls or sleeve due to co workers being on there!!! Thank u loves!im so excited to have sleeve friends on there!

Everyone request me!!!! I am ProjectSkinnyLety ! Lol

So we had another admission of a young 30yr old who weighs 350lbs and 5ft 3in, blood pressure was 250/144!!!!!!!! Of course behind close doors the nurses again had to comment rude stuff!! I got fed up and told them off! I said the other Day you were talking bad about the gastric bypass patient and now about this girl!!! You all are saying she needs to loose weight but if she was to get wls you all will still make fun of her! I went on and on about what good nursing is and ethics! I was pissed off! I didn't talk to them the whole rest of the day! The patients room was close to nurses station and the mom heard so she is reporting them!!! I came out looking good .

I have been sleeved for a yr and a half now. Beeen there! A lot! I fakes Migraines, stomach aches, even ordered Soups but after few tablespoons I was suuuper full and people still commented! I now order appetizers and people still question! I was even accused on several occasions that I was bulemic! Geez lol but those peeps who don't know are coworkers, not very close friends, etc my family and good friends know and don't judge my little plates lol

Find me! ProjectSkinnyLety. I just started 3 days ago

I have been wrapping for approx 5months, I love it, it's working for me. You just got to becareful the wraps are legit. I spent $90.00 on a full body wrap, I learned the hard way it was a scam! I found a product that actually works.

NOW they need to be reported. You gave them an opportunity to show some remorse and they didn't. If you aren't helping to rectify the situation you are essentially a part of the problem.

I imagine this gets me so mad because of my experience just last week. I was in my bed sleeping and my alarms started going off because my saline was empty. This woman came in and said she would get a nurse. I then hear her in the hall way almost yelling..."who has the big one?..the big ones needs help" Needless to say she was reported by myself right away

what!!! I am so glad you reported them! .............. I would love to work in a weight loss facility, I would be so happy helping others like me.

I talked to the nurses and said that was bold of them to talk out loud at the nurses station like that. They are lucky a family member or even another patient heard, they would have been reported. They laughed at my concern and said those wls patients need to stop eating so much and go to the gym. I had to walk away. Ignorant!!!

This is the beginning of my 5th month of my 6 month pre-surgery diet/observation time and I was suppose to meet again with my surgeon today. I received a phone call late Friday telling me the appt had been canceled and I needed to call the office on Monday.

Called today and it seems that my surgeon (the only one in this practice) has decided to leave to join another practice. He will no longer be in network for me or be able to perform surgeries at the hospital I need to use for my insurance. I was expected to have surgery late next month or sometime in December.

I got on the phone with my insurance and after checking with all the surgeons they have listed there isn't anyone that performs this surgery at the hospital I have to use. My husband works for an HCA owned hospital so we have to have all our hospital stuff done at an HCA owned hospital.

There is ONE option' date=' but it's a long shot. There is a very well respected surgeon in town that performs this surgery at the hospital I needed, but he isn't in network. I've made a formal request to the insurance to see if they will make an exception and pay him as in network. I'm not sure how long it will take them to make this decision, and I'm not sure how likely it is to happen.

I'm grieving today. I had a lot of plans and hopes for my new year. I wanted to have this surgery before I started 2013, and now I'm not even sure it's ever going to happen, but I know for sure it won't happen this year. It's been a very hard day.

Hugs to you! This is not happy news I hope it all works out for you and get the insurance to pa in network!

Haha my phone slipped off and commented "8", I love this thread! I too am a veteran approx 14 months as well. I haven't gotten to my goal yet. I am 26lns away (has to take meds due to a sickness that worked against my weight loss but now I'm off it and hope to continue to loose) I was a size 24 and now an 11 yay us!!!! I thought I was the only veteran left! I do pop in a few times here and there to comment or give advice I love this support group!

Wow. As a health care professional I cringe when I hear this sort of thing. I don't think I would approach administration about this at this time. It is more appropriate to bring this to the attention of the nurses in question. You do not necessarily tell them that you have had the surgery. That is up to you. You could say that as a person that has battled with weight you found their conversation upsetting. That patient is loved by someone and the dehumanizing way that the nurses discussed her history should be addressed. I think it is a sign of good character and it takes a lot of bravery to take this on personally rather than going to administration. Maybe you can make an impact in their lives. I like to think that these nurses did not start in their profession with this attitude. I would hope that they became nurses because they wanted to help people. Maybe you can bring that back to them and educate them about some aspects of wls.

If this sort of behavior did not stop I would then go up the chain of command. Good luck! That is a tough one for sure!

Sure is a rough one. I am not one to tattle so Tomorrow I will talk to those nurses. 4 of them. Wish me Luck!

I think reporting what happened is appropriate. And not discussing your personal medical history at work - understandable and a personal choice. Everyone knows about my surgery' date=' but if I were to start a new job and planned on maintaining strictly professional relationships I can't imagine discussing it - it invites familiarity in many ways you might be trying to avoid. For me, the people in my life know me well, care about my health, and to exclude them would not acknowledge their importance in my life.[/quote']

That is exactly what I feel!!!! My friends family know but my co workers are just co workers and trying to keep it at that. Tomorrow I will go to head of hospital just to make sure no one covers anyone because they are friends.

I started working there a month ago,

Ps I am not lying, I just don't talk about my life. I go to work and am friendly but no social outings or friends at work like that. None of anyone's business at work to know about my personal life.

Thanx everyone, I don't allow my personal life at my job, don't talk about home or me. I will report them because they did say it at nurses station!

Get 'em fired.

I could do that but what I hate is how people think we are lazy and looking for an easy way out. I hope I get her tomorrow and I will give her the royal treatment!

I work in a hospital and we had a new admission. I was assigned to that patient but I overheard the nurses talking crap about patients with WLS and how lazy they are! The big nurses were saying how they rather die fat than get WLS and have complications in the future. Well I felt bad for this poor patient.... She didn't even know what was being said of her, and she's to trust these women with her life? It hurt me as well!!! They don't know I had sleeve done and this jus why I kept it a secret with my coworkers! I went home Feeling rather depressed. How do you all handle these type of peeps?
