Girl I am definitely not going even acknowledge her comment with a response because I do not know where she is at in her walk in Christ or if she is even a believer. I don't have to validate that to ANYONE.

Sorry, no one sits around the treatment rooms of the wards discussing the theory. nursing is an evidenced based practice, we are far more focused on behavioral issues, therapeutic milieus and patient/caregiver relationships.

I have no idea what you do, and I only care to defend myself so much, and I am quickly becoming fatigued with this conversation. You are right, I did not pick up on your vague references because I flat out misinterpreted what you were even trying to say and that is your basis for more or less calling me an idiot. But the truely laughable thing in this whole conversation is that you feel that because you had to point out your bad joke that I know nothing of Freudian theory but the very fact that you think that is so agregious is what really makes you look silly.

Anyone in the know realizes that although he set the stage for modern psychology, other thinkers have filled in the rest. It's the difference between psychodynamic vs psychoanalytic and their varying degrees of usefulness.

Freud will always be around, if not only in the gaps but your assertions that because I didn't get your attempt at humor means I am somehow a know nothing or uneducated is laughable.

/ranty rant.

What is her problem if she feel it personal we heard that she's making the thread about her getting all defensive it's not that serious it's not about her not wanting to share its about lying to ppl that general want to kno for the benefit of help

I feel like that is how it would be with my family... Luckily they stay several hours from me. :-)

Just keep your head up and don't let any negativity have an impact on the journey you are on.

Aww, sorry I hope this all passes soon. I'm sure I'll have very emotional days. People tell me I really have no idea until it's done and I so believe them...What makes you cry? Frustration? mourning? pain? Like what's a day in the life of ebonisekim post op?

being a psych nurse, I know "delusional" well and what I can say to you is that there is not enough information here to say if someone is having delusions or not. I don't know if you really don't know what that means, if you like to armchair diagnose over the internet because it makes you feel better about yourself, or what this is but not only is it a pet peeve to any ACTUAL professionals when people do that type of thing, its silly.

Maybe I'm touchy about it because I'm actually going to school for my NP so I have diagnosing rights or maybe you just rub me the wrong way every time I see a post from you because it almost always rings of superiority... but that type of thing is just silly to say the least.

The women could be having any number of issues. Do people understand that dumping syndrome is not exclusive to gastric bypass surgery?

ANY type of gastrointestinal operation, and I am not just talking about weight loss surgery. In fact, not a single one of those symptoms listed exclusive to any type of weight loss surgery, and they are all extremely common with LOTS of different procedures, sicknesses, and even psychological issues. These are common, common, COMMON.

That being said, is it likely that maybe she had a WLS procedure? Sure, it is not unreasonable to think that, but if you think for one second its any of your business and this woman should just fess up and tell you, I question how you came to decide you were entitled to this information. She could be feeling shame about failed dieting attempts, she could be experiencing complications that she doesn't want to talk about, she could be upset about her choice, or she may just be a private person. And all of that is assuming that she DID in fact have weight loss surgery.

I just want to say this one last thing before I unsubscribe from this thread, because its crawling with busybody type women (which is supremely unappealing). The more educated you get, the more you realize how much you do not understand about things. My years in the medical field (even though I am young, I've been in medicine since I was 18) have taught me that you really cannot assume anything. You just can't. You.don't.know. ANYTHING. It's laughable to watch all these people here with so little information grasp at straws to make every situation applicable to themselves. Maybe its comforting for people to feel like they are not the only ones who made the choice to do this, but that is what this community is for. You do not need to reach out to UNWILLING participants in your own lives and try to drag something out of them they don't want to share or might not even be true. Only you look stupid in the end for those types of clear boundary issues. Let them be, love them, they probably need it. Maybe if you were not digging for dirt they might share what is really going on with them.

I usually don't respond to posts that are likely to cause more ill will or sound arguementative , because I think it is very easy to misinterpret what someone is saying in print .(Namely me :unsure: )

.

That being said, I will try to clarify that I KNOW she had weight loss surgery and I don't care . I never ever asked her about anything because we do not share that close of a relationship. She got into my conversation and she lied . I know she had the surgery for many more reasons than I listed because I was trying to keep it short and was really trying to make a point she told an unsolicited lie and it was hurtful, end of story .

I am not here to make enemies I am simply here to receive information and share experiences. This is an experience I had.

Amy

      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.
