SOTC thread...Why NOT to post when your angry



Recommended Posts

God spelled backwards is Dog. I'm a DeLarlaist and find it pathetic that fighting has gone so far as to dig up belief systems as ammo.

Miss Lisa,

Your groupies did the digging up of the belief systems to use as ammo. Or perhaps they just flung it back at the "other side" when they dug it up. Regardless, I didnt start it. I am not fighting with ANYONE. I am standing up for my beliefs and stating my opinion. Nothing more.. Nothing less... Feel free to do the same.

Kathy

Hi,

We Have A Saying In French That Translates Something Like This:

"what You Are Screams So Loud That I Can Hear What You Say!!!"

Please Just Use If/as Needed. Have A Great Day Everyone, We Are All Hanging Around For The Same Reason Afterall.

Ciao... For Now.

The version I've heard of that is "Your actions are so loud I can't hear what you are saying".

Jack, I love your posts. They're always thought provoking or funny. Sometimes both.

All the things you've questioned can be attributed to nature. Which makes the real question, how did all this abundant nature accur? How many times multiplication will it take to be able to see the absolute truth? Is there such a thing as absolutes?

With so many theories and 'absolute truths' about the sticky subject of religion, I tend to take a wait and see attitude. Before anyone throws my imminent descent into hell for this attitude, I also believe that any god worth worshipping will be understanding of my perspective and continued blissful ignorance.

I will say that I'm a little bothered that a thread titled "Sick of this crap" is turning out to be all about god. Hmmmmm. I must have a little belief after all.

Nobody should feel that they need to impose their god on anyone else.

Not being able to impose one's god on others is not a rejection of that god nor a limitation on the rights of the believer to believe in his/her god.

I have a right to pray to my god, but do not have a right to make sure you hear my prayer.

This thread has not turned into a thread about God, but was about the use of God right from it's opening post.

People who hide behind the Lord to chastise other people or use the Lord to make others feel guilty should be ashamed of themselves. HOW DARE YOU drag the Almighty God into this kind of bickering. Do you keep God on the same level as yourselves?? Keep Him on a leash and turn Him loose whenever it makes you look good?? I can't stand when pious people throw this "I will pray for you crap" around to make them seem holier than thou.. Just as bad are the people who use your christianity to slap you in the face. "I thought you were a Christian"... As if that is something they just came up with and haven't used that line time and time again to attack people. Christians are sinners, people. Jesus is the attonement for our sins. Paul, David and Moses were all murderers for God's sake and the Lord used each of these men in mighty ways. They each wrote major portions of the Bible. God created us to worship Him not to use Him for our own foolish gain. Come ONNNN!!!!! Enough if enough. Dont you all have friends in "real life"?? If your so unhappy online then step away from the keyboard... Shut the dang thing off... move on with your lives.. find another message board where everyone is perfect.. Or do SOMETHING!!!! But leave God out of your petty, childish bickering. If your not a Christian then be a decent human being and leave Him out anyway... He is very important to some people.

I said "turning out to be all about god."

I guess I should have said "turning out to be ALL about god."

Once again, inflection or the lack thereof . . .

Huh? I'm confused....or dumb....or naive.....or whatever. I opened 3 threads so far this morning and everyone of them expressed such anger...and none of it had anything to do with lapbanding?

Think I'll take a break from this forum for awhile....getting way too ridiculous for me...my time is more valuable than this garbage I'm reading.

Have a great time with your mud-slinging.

Carol

Not that I want to get involved, but I heard it as "actions speak louder than words."

As stated before, this site is for lapband support. Although I do believe that for the most part, the offers of prayer from people on this site is genuine and not meant as a slam or insult. I think we just have to remember that it is meant in a caring way. As far as friends. I have a real feeling of friendship here. Most of the people here are not only here for support but also to help others. That is why I joined this site. Not for all this fighting and carrying on that has been going on this week. Whatever it is about, I think everyone needs to get over it and remember what this site is for and why we are all here. I've only been here since January and maybe I've missed alot of what started this stuff, but as stated before enough is enough.

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
