Im leaving this forum, I have had a few people who have just made me feel like I dont belong or whatever and im not dealing with it. I thought this was a place where people support you and where I could ask all the questions in the world buy I guess not because people are making me feel like a bother so im leaving and if anyone can tell me how to delete my account or even just stop the notifications being sent to my email that would be fantastic

i have wanted to leave this forum a few times myself...but what i figured out is one thing...i was the one who had the surgery for me....and its up to me to use it as advised by my dr.

you are bound to get a zillion he said/she said/they said and what is right and what is wrong....but what it boils down to is listening to YOUR own doctor...some have had WLS longer than some...that does not make them experts or better than one who has just had surgery or is a yr out or whatever......the expert is a persons doctor who operated on them..and that opinion is the only one that matters...

since this new site come up, some threads on the band forum have come to the attention of the bypass/sleeve groups but not for good reasons...makes me embarrassed...i truly feel that not all banders act/post threads like that or are in your face with their vision...at least not me..

to leave lets whomever win

so block them and move on....its not worth it....and def not

worth responding or going back and forth...that is exactly what they want.

better things to think about...like what is for lunch

I'm with you carolinagirl! (But if they want to leave why do these folks need to tell everyone about it? Why not just leave?)

Well at the time I was overly sensitive because I was emotional from everything. I admit it. I wasnt looking to be "coddled" I was looking to see if anyone was having the same issues which my issue turned out to be my band flipped itself which I had a second surgery today to fix it. Not looking for anyone to feel sorry for me. I have a mother for that I was just looking for someone who had gone through the same thing or if anyone has gone through it and had to get a revise and could give me some advise that would be great cause I havent heard of it happening to very many people. Anyways have a fantastic day!

And thank you Carolinagirl...you are so right!

Flouncers gotta flounce.

In Micki's case, I get the impression she was a bit overwhelmed and let that rule her fingers for a spell. It's happened to me. Micki, I'm glad that your issue was solved and you are feeling a little cooler headed. Heal soon and good luck with the rest of your journey.

Glad to know you were able to have your port fixed. Continued success with the lapband.

Good that everything turned out okay. We all (including the surgeons) have an off day now & then. Hopefully not many, but I've learned not to jump too quick with my replies.

Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving and lots of leftovers!

When we give up the food we learn ,often the hard way, about all those emotions we covered up by eating. Some people need therapy as well as weight loss surgery.
