SICK, STILL SICK, CONTINUE TO BE SICK...SERIOUSLY AM I THE ONLY PERSON ON HERE WHO HAS BEEN SICK ALMOST THE ENTIRE TIME SINCE GETTING SLEEVED?

Your words are ignorant, insulting and pathetic. You are delusional!!

I'm far from delusional. Why was it ok for you to make snide comments to me, yet when I defended myself you get all worked up? That's pretty 1 sided. You kept at it all night. You are still at it. Why do you allow someone whom you don't even know, who is on the internet, to bother you so much? You need to do some self-reflecting and evaluating. Sounds like some inner problems going on there. Good luck with your journey.

Okay, I read this entire topic in one sitting (that's a lot of scrolling on a smartphone). I REALLY wanted to jump in and comment, but as some of you have said near the end, I "let it go".

I do however STRONGLY agree that "corrections" to errata must be made for those members of this forum who may be less aware/educated/informed. Certainly the definition of BMI, overweight, obese and morbidly obese are standardized and clearly available throughout the medical world. They coincidentally are also available "on the web" from a number of well-respected resources (.edu, .gov, etc. as well as many other web extensions that are NOT U.S.-based).

In this particular situation, it appears that one person has STRONG convictions that their information is correct, regardless of the mounting evidence to the contrary. As a result, they feel attacked and are "defending" themselves with comments that the majority of the readers in this post have responded to negatively.

I have been in that person's position before. I know how hard it is to "admit" to being mistaken, especially when you TRULY believe you are correct. However, when shown evidence from multiple sources, by multiple people that I am INDEED incorrect, I have capitulated in the past (and even apologized if I was "out of line"). Not everyone can get to that place and instead, they dig their heels in.

The best advice I ever got about a disagreement was "keep in on topic" and if you're arguing with someone who brings in outside issues, don't let them lead you down that road. Otherwise the situation escalates, the comments (often inflammatory) distract you from the original topic, and the original issue is never resolved.

And everyone ends up hurt, angry and stuck.

Webchickadee,

As usual thanks for your words of wisdom. As to the op and her original problem, I would love for this fiasco of a thread not to deter her from coming back and updating us to her situation and any resolutions that may have happened.

Whoa.. Someone obviously forgot to check her egoism and insolence at the forum door.

Sad.
