IF YOU HAVE NOTHING NICE TO SAY...THEN DON'T SAY IT.



Recommended Posts

I can say I my very first post on here was responded by someone very aggressive and mean. She called me a liar about having my surgery and that no dr would do my revision in same surgery as removing my band and that they couldn't have nicked my spleen because it isn't near my stomach (to sum it up). She then started a new thread with the caption I call BS on this and a link to my story. I even posted operative pictures to prove I wasn't telling a lie. I couldn't believe her response to my story and it made my first experience here upsetting but to be fair she did apologize later. Just unnecessary for someone to deal with that while trying to heal and deal with the emotional changes after surgery. I have also had some very kind people since then so just like anything take it for what it's worth and move on.

Hey pdx I was told to GO TO HELL a couple of days ago (along with a few other choice words)

Do you think I misinterpreted it??

Just no purpose in that kind of nonsense. I do have the 9 scars to prove it really happened and the massive medical bills... Lol

That seems to happen a lot on this site.

Wow.. That's horrible! In a case like that I most likely wouldn't hold my tongue

I responded strongly but not cursing and nonsense. I got an email for engaging in it from the site administrator. A little slap on the hand I guess.

It is so. I wasn't happy when I got that message but life goes on. No I didn't say anything out of line but I guess I responded and I shouldn't have. I also used sarcasm :)

It sounds like u handled it well.. All I know is I appreciate reading everyone's experiences , i usually just focus on what will help me or someone else..I'm having my surgery in 2 weeks and it is 100% easier for me thanks to this group..

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
