This morning my message inbox here contained a message from another member, who apparently is unhappy about something she thinks I did. The interesting thing is that the ID was different than the one I have ignored because this woman constantly harasses and attempts to bully me every time I post. The picture is the same person pictured in the ID I ignored. The message is threatening legal action against me and I have no clue what she is upset about. I went in to add to my blog and there she is with her other ID ranting about me attacking her in her personal life. I don't know this person or give a rats behind, but how is this allowed to happen? I reported the post and contacted member services about the threatening message, this morning...no response. WTF????

Send Alex a private message.

Go to each identity and hit the "report" button. Then, for reason, type exactly why. Do this for each and every one.

Do the same for the private message you were sent, with the "report" button.

We all have differences of opinion but that behavior is completely uncalled for. I've had it happen too in the past so I know how it sucks.

Also, if you don't hear a response within 24 hours, I'd message Alex again. He's very good at watching these boards and doesn't put up with harassing behavior.

I think I know the poster Ms Maui, and if you actually panned her book on Amazon that is why she is angry. LBT should not carry over to other venues

Generally there are 2 or sometimes even 3 sides to a story. If this is genuine abuse then I would report it to Alex. If however it is a case of someone responding to something that you have done then a pm is the correct way to go about it, we don't need to see others washing their dirty laundry on the nboards ( although it does get interesting at times)!

That's really sad that has to happen, I hope you get it resolved soon.

a book you reviewed on Amazon and then deleted the review. Cheryl is well and truly unhappy! She is convinced it was you.

I went through all my amazon reviews, I did review a book by a Cheryl *****, honestly had no idea it was her. No offense, but if one publishes a book, it is customary to expect reviews, isn't it. I apologized to her and removed the review. If she had pm'd me to let me know that I had upset her, we could have avoided all this nonsense. She should not have let it get to this point.

There are too many people here with too big of ego's.....I could care less about people's "Cred's" etc,....

This is the Internet...people need to get a life as opposed to making themselves feel important and look to get their ego's stroked.....

I just want to know people's experiences...good and bad...with this surgery so I can live and learn....and enjoy my life....

I also have a few people blocked...these are people who appear to me to be "Know it alls"....with little or no first hand experience.....always ready to tell other people what they should or should not do...what is the right and wrong way......

I just want to know what worked and did not work for other people....

And yes, I have a story to share...but it is my story...not something I THINK should happen.....

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
