I was always surprised when people would tell me how they were discouraged or other people were unkind to them on this website. I never understood that until today. From now on I am sticking to family & my surgeon's office support groups. Since I am apparently too dumb to figure it out on my own, can someone please tell me how to delete my profile from here? Thanks.

Well, in also went to curl my hair, while I still have some.

I tell you if I end up bald AND still fat, someone's going to pay!

Mmmmm... Perhaps I could join some kind of forum and take my lousy fat, bald mood out on someone else...

What do you guys think??

I feel like that is a great idea! Then go to medical site posting all your symptoms (loss of appetite, weigh loss, hair loss, etc) but don't tell them that you had VGS! see if they figure it out!

I have sprouts sticking up all over my head from regrowth.. It's ridiculous looking, I look like a porcupine wearing a bad wig lol

I lost a ton of hair and I'm still losing but a bunch is growing back from the massive amounts I lost at 6 months.

I wear my hair to the side without bangs and now I have bangs from all the "sprouts"

It reminds me of when I was a pre teen and still had baby hair along my hair line -__-

Seriously.. Y'all need to behave so I can get work done.. Or at least get paid for looking like I work

Hehe!

I am just a month out, so no hair loss yet. In have very thick hair at the moment, but most people would be terrified to see how much I lose in the shower! Ha ha.

I love this thread. I clicked on it just to find out if there was a way to delete, in case i ever wanted to. But ended up bursting out in laughter several times. Thanks for the humor. It is needed today!!

Laughter is the best medicine <3

Ok, I come home and hit the forum and 16 notifications! I see they are on the How Do I Delete My Profile? thread and I think, "Another nasty argument!"

But, no, just peoples being nice peoples.

Darn, nothing for me to try and lighten up with my juvenile humor.

Girl lets go start a thread

"I'm not fat.. just big boned"

Lol awsome

Oh for goodness' sake' date=' no need to flounce. If you don't want to be on VST, it's as easy as disabling your notifications and not visiting the site. If you want to limit your activity it's up to you.

Only you can make the choice to let replies you don't care for bother you. In more than three years I've seen my share of rude or insensitive posts and had some directed at me and even made a few myself. But by and far I've read thousands upon thousands of polite, helpful and genuine posts here from people simply trying to help one another. If you choose to let the very few outweigh the benefits of the very many, that's entirely your choice, certainly.

I've needed a few of my own VST breaks over the years and it's fine to step away and come back later. In the real world, we have to deal with people that aren't as friendly as we'd like, too, and we don't get to just block them or delete them from our lives.

It's a huge mistake to venture onto a public forum full of strangers and expect people to answer your questions in a particular way. Saying "that's not the kind of support I was looking for" doesn't cut it here. We are a community of thousands of people each with a different view and experience and yes, a different way of phrasing things. It's one thing to be trolled or called names, but pointing fingers at people because they didn't respond with the cuddly hugs that were expected is unfair and unreasonable.

I encourage you to "try to stay" but the reality is that people come and go here. Grace and I don't always agree but it's a fact that she spends a lot of her time here on VST trying to help people and she'll definitely tell the hard truth (from her perspective), and she should not have to apologize for that.

Not all support is rainbow sparkly. Some people here respond best to a nice, swift, virtual kick in the pants. Clearly you're not one of them.

Well said.

I hate it when I'm way behind in a thread and comment on a "serious" matter only to find the conversation had since moved on to rainbow farting unicorns.
