OVERLY sensative to WLS information out there?

Okay gang, I have another "ism" of mine.....

(1) I read this EVIL Blog on WLS and how crappy it was. This person claims to be a "medical researcher" (on her own time) and is of the opinion that any WLS is waste of time, obese people are not THAT unhealthy. This person post some of the most disgusting pictures of the "after" surgery pictures. She even goes so far as to IMPLY that one of her freinds died of cancer because of WLS. I call it evil because the information in it started to eat at my resolve to make a change in my health/life style. I hate negative bastards like that.

AND.....

A co worker has had the bypass surgey and has lost A LOT of weight. Now me and this person dislike each other but I can understand why he had this surgery. I told him that he looked much better but I refused to pry into his very personal choice about getting this done.

Well, all the hatefull have come out of the wood work and are complaining that "he looks like he's dying" or "he lost the weight to fast" and "what will he do with all the exess skin". He DOES look "ill" for lack of a better word but I hept that to myself since he has enough on his mind without people making comment about his apperance. This is the exACT REASON I'll never tell others at work about any WLS I'm considering... let them eat cake......

    Yep, keep your private info private and step away from the Google. Stick with sites you know have a true background of accurate, well supported, scientific information. If it troubles you, don't searc

    Well, I always say - what I don't know won't hurt me. I won't read things like that, all it will do is upset me. I don't like being upset and like to stay in my little bubble. I don't want anyone/a

What's the name of the blog/website? I'm very curious to know...

Well, I always say - what I don't know won't hurt me. I won't read things like that, all it will do is upset me. I don't like being upset and like to stay in my little bubble. I don't want anyone/anything in my vacinity that could rupture my pretty little bubble.
