What room is the complication thread in?

Everyone fills their profile out to show others where they are within the process. I shared all my info I'm not hiding anything. If no one can see anything about you then they feel you are hiding. You might not be hiding. But anyway this is a place to be open and honest. Get support and advice. Let's get back to the basics and move on!!

How is everyone else doing?

Sometimes they will go away. It has actually gotten worse over the last month. This is not supposed to be a negative place. To tell someone negative things here could really hurt them. People are leaving the forum who obviously needed some support. My thing is its sad that one person can throw a whole forum in to the ruts because they are negative. I posted this topic so we all can get back to why we are actually here!! Now next thing is I'm down 45 pounds I my own!! Yea!!! My next appointment is on the 7th. Hopefully I get a date! Fingers crossed!! :-)

That is very true! Something's not right. I wasn't going to say anything but she has crossed the line more than once. And I'm sure a bunch of people have been reporting the comments but nothing is being done. She either needs to shape up or ship out. No one wants the negativity or the drama! This is a support site and that's what should be going on. Support not judgement!!

I am sick and tired of all the negativity that is floating around here. We are here for support and I feel that if you don't have anything nice to say then you should keep our mouth shut. We are all adults here and I understand that this is a public forum but there should be a mutual understanding for others feelings. This goes for everybody. I'm not going to call anyone out by name because I feel that has already been done. It's time to move forward. When I first came to this site in August there was so much love and understanding from people. I wanted to be included in this family. But things have went sour! Lets get that support and love back to the people who need it. I am still pre op and I am sure I will be needing a lot more advice and support. So this is it! This is the truce! IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL!! It's a shame I have to use a saying my mother taught me at age 5. Now lets get the love and support back going!

How old are you? 5?? Grow up. I can't believe the administrators let you stay on here. You are obviously not here to support anyone!!

First off this is a place for support!!! If someone chooses to post their business it's not you to judge them. You are very rude and out of place with your smart ass comments. How the hell can you judge people when you were fat at one time and were judged just like the rest of us? I really think you need to look in the mirror and get your attitude in check!! Because right now you are a snobby person and if I knew you in person I would have smacked you a few times after reading your posts. Then asked you what the hell is your problem. It's pretty messed up people are writing whole posts about you because of how you portray yourself. Now how about this if you can't say something nice then don't say nothing at all!!And just fyi you can respond something smart if you want to but you don't effect me. Nothing you say will hurt me because I could give a care less about you. You don't know me or anyone else on here for that matter. Quit hiding behind a empty profile and come out of the closet. We are here to get support and obviously you aren't. So go on your merry little way and have a nice life with your pouch..

Sometimes you have to just ignore people. We all know why we are here. We are here for support!! I have learned so much from people on here who share their stories and their struggles. I'm not going to let one person's ignorance define me or my surgery. Or hell even my experience here. I am so thankful for the friends I have made. I am going to go into my surgery with so much love, support and knowledge. No one can bring us down!! And I will be posting everything I am going through once I get my surgery. Others have helped me understand what to expect and what to watch for. Thank you to everyone who is so supportive to others here who are pre op!! Love yall!! :-)

Congratulations!!

Welcome!! I'm Terri and I'm 33. I am also pre op. Right now my weight is about 445. But I started at 481. My highest. Weight was 491. I have been over weight my entire life. I adopted a baby girl last year. Due to my weight I never could get pregnant. I chose to go with the rny because of my daughter. I want to be able to do things with her. Right now it's a struggle being a single parent. I also have two foster daughters ages 5 and 10. This surgery is defiantly going to be the start of our new lives! It's going to be a struggle to change old habits but its going to be well worth the struggle! I have also done the yo yo dieting. I lost 40 and gained back 60. It's hard to stick to a diet when you are always busy. We eat out a lot that's my main problem. So far I was told to loose 34pounds that would put me at 450. So I did that. Then I had to go to a meeting, see the nutritionist and have a psych evaluation done. I have done all of those. I have my second appointment scheduled for November 7th. Hopefully I will get my date that day. Well good luck with your journey! This is a great place to get advice and support! I have found some really good friends here! Don't worry no question is a stupid question. Feel free to ask anything because there is people here from all stages. We are in this together!!

I really wasn't trying to hinder anyone's evaluation. I just wanted to ease some people's minds. I was so nervous this morning if I would have been able to see what might be some of the questions from someone who been there and done that I would have been more comfortable.

Thanks joatsaint!! I wish I would have seen this before.

You are welcome I wish someone had done this for me? Lbvs no matter what anyone says I think its a good idea!

Yeah what's also sad is that we are all in the same boat. At one point in time everyone is where I am now. You might not have had a psych evaluation but probably 50% have and I was just trying to show people what kinds of questions were on there. No one can cheat on a test about them selves. I guess there is always one rotten one out of a bunch.

Lucky you! I wasn't supposed to have one but I switched surgeons . The new one required all his patients have one.

Obviously not!!
