You're right. HOWEVER, I went Yahoo board cruising and I read about our friend Sandy who was here soliciting folks to join the lapband board that is just another recruiting tool for Ortiz...remember her?? This weekend, she was kicked off of one of the boards because she was pretending to be someone "gailkitty" (go figure) who was shopping for the right doctor and was using that "disguise " to recruit more patients away from a particularly pro-Kuri board to become Ortiz patients.

The moderator said she was "sharking," but I'm starting to think that, in the case of SOME of these people, that term is insulting to sharks everywhere.

Hmmm. . . Well, I guess we shouldn't be surprised. My professional social worker curiosity makes me wonder what exactly makes dear Sandy tick. I mean, she's been kicked off of boards before, right? And she most certainly has been the subject of lengthy threads full of anger. If it were me, I would take a hint. But no. . . The fact that she's now using other screen names is troubling.

Anyway, Sue, where have you been and how are you feeling? I know you had a rough time post surgery. I sure hope you are feeling better now.

Sharking.. that is exactly the image I got from the other threads. Sharks lingering around, smelling for fresh bait, innocent and unknowing.

You're right, too - if they start making up fictitious names and personnas, that's really crossing the line of integrity or credibility.

Sue, I think you rock! I love how you call a spade a spade. I'm pretty old myself, and after this many moons, you just start to tell it like it is. Time was when I would do just about anything to avoid confrontation, now I make my point when I know I'm right.

You, my dear make excellent points and I love reading your posts.

Rock on!

Hey, haven't you heard, "50 is the new 40"! We're at the cool age now! Heaven knows we've earned it!

Hey Marie, I'm 51, but my mind hasn't caught on yet. I'm the old lady at work and those young gals tell me I'm pretty cool for an old woman. I went to a bachelorette party the other night with a crew of 20 something girls and now I can pop the booty!

Neicy, You Go Girl!!!

Hey I love that! 50 is the new 40. I am 54 so its really like I am 40 something. Cool...Janie

My kids still think I'm older than dirt. But I saw a glimmer of respect from my younger son when we were out bike riding yesterday. The healthier me gave him a run for his money.

Nancy,

I think I've been kicked off more boards than Sandy. Well, I'm banned more often, that's for sure. I'm here...I'm not thrilled with my tummy tuck, but I was warned in advance that a revision was likely. So, it's a few months off. Lipo, they tell, to even things out. But they don't want to do it until everything "settles." thank you for asking.

Neicy,

It's never a good idea to encourage me. I'm outta control enough on my own...but thanks for letting me know that I'm not alone in my thinking on the topics at hand!

Sue

And I'm closer to 60 than 50...way closer. So, I think I'm gonna start saying that 60 is the new 43. ;-D

Wow! 60 is the new 43! We are just kids!

what was that Sandy's other name on boards? I'm glad she's gone. I liked that description comparing her to a shark. Geezer Sue, did you say you had a tummy tuck? When? Are you not happy with it?

She used zsflower here and on most boards. But apparently she was also gailkitty200 so something like that in her attemplt to lure pre-ops from Kuri's board to the new Ortiz board.

O! the Drama!

It takes all kinds, we still have the best message board and she'll never find another better, everyone have a great day.

NONE OF IT IS TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone that's interested is welcome to email me privately to hear my side. If you're not interested, that's fine too.

Sandy

Post it here, Sandy! I've read Ortiz's letter posted on the other boards. And I notice that you have been disappeared off of his board.

Why don't you post it here? I don't know why Robyn is no longer with him. But suddenly, you are no longer with him and he's Mr. Innocent and had no idea what you were doing and yada, yada, yada. I've already said (on another thread, I think) that I'd LOVE to hear your side of this (not that it's any of my business.)

I may not be all about everybody making nice, but I am all about letting the truth be heard...so, speak up, woman!

Sue
