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..

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
