Apparently We All Kvetch The Same Way

Still learning my way around the new app I guess it hasn't fully sunk in that we see every type of surgery's posts. I've accidentally opened threads from other forums and I see the same dang arguments going on in those forums as ours! The same rants and fights and kvetching.

I just wasted tons of time reading a thread accusing every one on the board about being snobbish, and the vets thinking they have the answers, newbies who learn to make their own choices even if other day they are not workable in the long run, and I was like, WHO is she talking about??

Wrong forum. Lap band folks.

Sigh. And I thought we were special :P

    I thought we sleevers couldn't kvetch because of the lack of ghrelin.

Bad...but I'm actually laughing at some of the cat fights....I obviously have no life :D. And no pearls to clutch, darnit!

If that's the case then what was the point in combining everything?

Some of us still have our sense of humor...and use it as often as possible to distract ourselves from our sagging skin and thinning hair.

And then it took me 15 minutes to find my own dang thread. Apparently just coz you start it doesn't mean you're subscribed to it

Poor Alex and team. I don't envy them this task. It's gone quite well, considering the scale of things.

Everything will get straightened out, and in the long term will be so much better. Think of the benefits of people just researching weight loss surgery. They can come to one place to learn about all their options available and hear personal experiences from people who have had the different types of surgeries all right here.

Oh no worries! Frankly with all the functionality they had to port over I think it's gone VERY well. They should be proud.

There sure is an uproar, huh? People want it fixed and they want it fixed NOW! I feel sorry for team having to deal with all of this. Usually with any new technology, there will be glitches.

I'm an avid "current thread" reader, so I'm sure I will be constantly posting in the wrong forum, lol!
