How much weight did u loose? Im at 30 BMI and although I'm trying to eat MORE I think I'm stressed about organising this surgery and the scale isn't going up - worried ill get to Mexico and after 3 days of liquids ill go under and they won't do it ...

Yup' date=' but in this case we did manage to resolve it ourselves. At least until someone decided that us higher BMI sorts should now be attacked en masse, regardless of our defense of our lower BMI siblings' rights to treat their weight issues, too...

It's all good.

(LisaLoseAlotx2, I am just teasing, truly! I get why it upset you, just think you didn't think about the scope of what you said when you first posted <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> )[/quote']

En masse or en massive?

I am a high BMIer too. And I was hovering around 400 lbs.

Holy crap on a cracker! I don't do drugs, but am actively seeking out a valium after reading this thread.

I have three things to say:

1) Glad to see things have worked out. Newcomers to the thread, please don't resurrect the bad feelings which occurred at the start of this thread, and fortunately have since been worked out.

2) If I had known about the sleeve when I was at a 30 BMI, you can bet your booty I would have had it done. I knew my eating was out of control back then, I knew regular "diets" didn't work for me and it would have saved me years of heartache and health problems.

3) Surgeons in Mexico are just as qualified, if not more so, than those in the US. There are good and bad ones, just like here in the US. The key is to do your research. As long as you have done so, you will be fine.

I had to stop reading by page 7

This did nothing but prove to me that fat (I mean seriously obese) people have some bigger issues than those of us with lower BMI's. Just the idea that anyone would hijack Rollargirls thread and call her a b*tch and telling her she needs mental help is absolutely disgusting.

I have also witnessed first hand some of the more obese women attempting to bully me on this site with snarky' date=' rude "I know more than you" attitudes. Bleck.

I would hope that anyone over a 40 BMI would get their own line of mental help for why they ate themselves into oblivion. While a few of us are struggling at the 200 lb mark, we sure didn't AVOID the inevitable by allowing ourselves to get to 300, 400 or 500 lbs.

I am with Aphrodite...this thread needs to be buried very deep and a bonfire started on top.[/quote']

Thanks for belittling and insulting all of us who ever reached 300+ lbs. Just what we need - yet another person pointing out how fat we "allowed ourselves" to become. As one of the "more obese" women on here who has never bullied or been "snarky" toward anyone on this site, I am so delighted that you decided to spew your venom upon me.

I did take the time to read the entire thread. If you had bothered, maybe you would have seen that things had been resolved, and it was unneccessary to add further hurtful comments.

I agree with you. That comment was way out of line. Let's let this thread die.

Jeeze Louise... Laura, where's your stick to beat this dead horse thread?

This horse isn't even fun anymore... It just stinks.

Clearly someone needed a little attention today

I'm kinda reminded about a scene from "Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou?"

The quote that comes to mind is: " I slaughtered this horse last Tuesday. I think it's startin' to turn."
