Not to where I have LOST someones medical records, and then in not so many words called them a Liar or just plain Ignorant. No I have not done that!
Besides, this is about them, not me! They won't even admit to a mistake, they say that I am mistaken, so yes that pisses me off and I have every right to be upset about it! If you don't feel that way then I'm sorry about that but this is how I feel & this message board permits me to say how I feel.

I'm 6 Weeks out and down 60. 6'5 went from 350 to 290. Live in the gym but love the results. Ready for my twenty eighth birthday in October. I would like to be down to 255 by then and eventually 230 and lean.

Hi everyone!
I live NW of Atlanta in Cartersville, Ga. I got my surgery date YESTERDAY! I will be having the sleeve on July 25th by Dr. Thomas Borland in New Iberia, LA. My best friend lives there and I need some help with someone taking care of me for about a week afterward and it worked out perfect that she lives within 20 mins of the Dr!
I have never been so sure of something in my life as I am about this surgery. I am so ready to get this part of my life started that I just can't wait!
Hope to hear from some people around Atlanta and hear about your experiences.

Another reason some people act that way is simple jealousy. Believe it or not, we all have "friends", family and co-workers who don't want to see us succeed. They either want to maintain the impression that they are better than we are, or better off than we are or have a better life than we do, etc and to see such a drastic improvement is a threat to their bubble of superiority.
We all know who they are and that's why, when you get to where you wanna be, those are the ones you're gonna feel most confident in front of!

Well, Jlewis, I adore your face so much that your size wouldn't matter. You're cuter than a speckled pup!! I know you're young and gay, I'm old and straight, so I'm not hitting on ya... I just don't understand that other gay guys don't see your cuteness!

I feel like yelling "FISH ON!" every time the seatbelt starts reeling me in!!!

I rarely wear pantyhose, but in the winter months I occasionally wear opaque tights with skirts, and it is hell in the morning trying not to fall out of the chair while trying to get the damn toe portion onto my foot!

Turns out he put on a lot of weight living in the closet because he was super depressed. Now he wanted his outside physique to match the new found love for himself...

Both of you MGM & Gramaof4 are amazing women to have held it together for so long without the support of your husbands! You are both going to do great with this surgery & have extremely happy lives no matter what happens. Of Course I want everuthing to work out for you but sometimes it just doesn't work. My mother has been divorced twice! Both of them were jerks!
Patrick- Your wife is extremely lucky to have you! You gave great advice to these ladies!'
And for those of you that are having a coronary about people having a laugh, get over it, these ladies have no problems with anyone having a good time, nobody was making fun of anyone's situations.

Some people think that being thin is the key to happiness. And some people get mad when it is said that no matter how skinny, ugly personalities will always be ugly. Not saying it to anyone in particular. Just noting some people might get mad, offended, whatever. But when they do, I often wonder if there is a hint of truth that they see and it hits a nerve.
Again not saying you or people on this thread. But some posts on this site, you wonder if they are seeing this as their fix all for unhappiness and not looking to see if there might be underlying causes for some of the body issues. And some, I wonder, may be using the new body for validation that they are worth something and not what they thought others perceived them as, being worthless.
Human psyche is just very interesting to me... Should have been a psychiatrist, not accountant. LoL!!!!

I don't understand why you wrote "Get mad, defensive, upset, all of the above...."
You are completely right & I myself and i'm sure everyone else here can't stand someone that thinks they are THE **** just because they are better looking than others, especially the people that make it known. That's just sad!
Anyway, i just wasn't sure why you'd think anyone could get mad over that LOL
Idk if your message was in response to me thinking i'll be HOT after i get where I wanna be or not but even being drop dead gorgeous I wouldn't be THAT person. I'm too sensitive and kind hearted to be ugly to people! That just isn't in my nature.

Hey Louisianans!
This is my first ever post on the site, even though I have been stalking for about a month. I think I joined the sight 6/7 and just last week I filled out some of my profile info. I figure the best place to start is at home with you guy’s and gal’s! After reading up on VSG and joining this site I am now ready to take my first step. I have chosen Dr. Lavin in Covington as my surgeon. I will be talking to someone on his team on Monday about making an appointment for a consultation. I will keep everyone posted.
What I love about this site so far is (what everyone loves) the amount of support you receive. I love that Louisianans are deep in here because it shows how much we care about ourselves/ health. We care enough about ourselves to give up on the best eats in the world. (Side note- when I travel I can’t wait to get home to eat) I am totally ready to give it up and give my body a second chance at living.
I am so proud of those who have gone through surgery and have accomplished your goals. Keep up the good work and I will be joining you soon.

Yes physical attraction does have to be there. And yes your apperence is the first thing to be noticed. But if you put being hot above being a good person, then no matter how skinny you are, then the ugly personality will turn people off faster the being overweight.
Get mad, defensive, upset, all of the above... But I'm just speaking my personal opinion and experience.

One word: BEARS.
