Burnsun..thank you for the friend invitation. I'm sterno at ObesityHelp and would welcome you there as my friend there.

So the bottom line IS the bottom...pay me and my costs for running this board decrease...Would a payout as a sponser make it alright? ALL these doctors and referral patients use and need coordinators to facilitate WLS...it is the only way to keep the money coming in...Do you really think doctors are that interested in your personal struggles...be real. It is about the money and getting money...it is a business. Without coordinators "selling" the product there is less competition. I have had surgeries in three countries and it is worth every dime to have the coordinator involved. Believe it or not they might know something. And I'm not "sticking" up for my doctor as is the catch phase here it seems. I'm only saying everyone has a right to speak up especially when they feel threatened as this coordinator did. She did post incorrectly...so what. I'm sure that the bashing goes on all over the world and boards like this world wide struggle with the same issues. Some poor India doctor being bashed and the patient coordinator trying to save the day...my point is your not different from anyone else. Nothing against holding hands, congradulating one another and talking about burps and farting but I can get that plus more at other boards... No offense was ever meant to the forum itself... Thanks Norma for your response, you must be jelly cause you're on a roll...yer so ah ....sweet:laugh0:. To the admin... whatever...again it's "your" sandbox...over indulgent blah blah blah. Getting better every day, Steve

Jeesh...what a elitist group you are and sooo smart. The above poster has over 800 plus posts/comments since May 2009 (wow) and makes them an expert on what is said? Discussions ha! IMO. If there is an agenda/posting AND it doesn't apply to you THEN keep your comments to yourself...in this case you should have minded your own bees wax. Sounds like this forum is only for truly blessed "those that know and care" and is very close tight knit group...everyone else can "bugger off". I'm sure I will not be back here anytime soon...and I assume you could care less. It is indeed your sand box...now have fun. Still in Love With Myself, Steve

I don't feel like a "used car" but I would be interested in what the facts are...I did my home work and I did VSG at Emmanuel medical center on 05/30/2009. I'm down 60 pounds, no more diabetes, no more high blood pressure. Whatever you choose, get the facts...there are soooo many options and opinions. WLS has become a emotional topic and for good reason...it can change your life but at the same time it is a business. False or misleading claims by parties pro/anti WSL proceedures, individual doctors and clinics/hospitals do have an effect. I'm not a paid shill, co-ordinator or a crusader..I will hopefully post my own experiance in full... but until then try and get the facts, keep emotions out of the discussion and remember WSL IS a business AND an emotional, potentail life saving proceedure. In love with myself again:thumbup: Steve aka dollarsterno
