Wow! Almost 20% men.

Is anybody else surprised by this? I was expecting 10% or so.

Even I could of told you before reading this that this website has a high majority of women, in saying that there are alot of males banded, I actually have heard of more men banded than woman (in my life anyway)

It also depends on where you live.

Nobody is surprised that there are a bunch of women here. What is surprising is how many men.

I live in Texas where half of the Americans here appear to be from and during my group meetings it was usually 4 women to ever one man. About the same as the results here.

Hey Fireman, I am happy for you with the becoming more male and the loss of the man boobs. :wink:

I am not so happy with my shrinking woman boobs though :eek: I guess it's the price I pay to get rid of all the excess in other places.

Turner Syndrome (XO chromosomes) =1 in 2,500 female births (the uterus and ovaries are missing)

Not to discredit your information but, your description of Turners Syndrome is not accurate - those born with Turners are missing one of the X chromosomes, but since they do not have a Y chromosome they are considered and appear as female as any other female. They do generally have a uterus and ovaries, but are usually infertile. I know this from having a friend with Turners and from research. She would definately have chosen female.

I'm not familiar enough with the other "education" you provided to comment on those. I am involved in feminist, non-violence and anti-oppression issues also.

I do agree with having the choice of "other" but I hope that some do not feel obligated to choose other if they are not one of the most biologically clear cases of male or female.

Ironically, everytime anyone, you ---and me included, makes a post, it bumps it right back up! It is now again in the new posts!

The only way to make it go away.......is for everyone to totally and completely quit posting. Til that happens it will be here.

Older does not automatically equate to intelligence or more life experiences! Only education and experience can do those things, not age!

Write yourself a letter today, open it in 40 years, and then decide if living --- just living day to day does not teach you lessons.

I agree, that age alone does not make one wise--but it definitely does add to your knowledge base.

I understand you don't necessarily agree with this, and you likely won't until YOU are on the other end of the age disagreement!!

New "man" here. I have never met an "other" I wonder how many others are banded?

Anyway, I am not banded yet. I am just starting the 3 month plan with my doc. I look forward to talking with you all. Man, women, or alien:)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
