I KNOW THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY LAP BAND ON OCT 6 BUT I JUST HAD TO WRITE TO SOMEONE. I AM AT WORK RIGHT NOW AND THE GIRLS HERE HAVE SUCK A ATTITUDE TOWARD ME. I SAY GOOD MORNING. THEY IGNORE ME. I ASK THEM AS QUESTION THEY GIVE A SMART REMARK. I REPORT THEM TO THE SUPERVISOR AND THE SUPERVISORS SAY DON'T WORRY EVERYONE LIKES YOU HERE. IT SURE AS HECK DOESN'T FEEL LIKE IT. I SIT AT THIS COMPUTER ALL DAY DOING MY WORK AND I DON'T SPEAK TO ANYONE BECAUSE THEY ALL SNAP AT ME. AND THEN WHEN I TYPE THE WRONG THING INTO THE COMPUTER THEY ALL JUMP ON ME. WHAT THE HECK DO I DO? PLEASE TELL ME!!!!!!

Well, as long as you're being pleasant and doing the job that's expected of you, don't worry about it. Just try to get along with everyone, be nice, and pretty soon they'll respond. P. S. Maybe you could make some really fattening dessert for them to munch out on, while you nicely eat your "smart foods". LOL:)

Tell them you have a group of women that will come and kick their butts if they don't start treating you better. What type of job are you doing? Why do they know what you type in your computer? Personally I would NOT care what the other co-workers thought. I would do my job and just be NICE and SMILE to them. Dont' let them see how much it bothers you or they will just keep doing it. If there is one person that seems approachable then ask that person what the problem is? The supervisors won't do anything about it because it is not directly their problem. And it makes you look like a trouble maker every time you go to them. I know it is hard to deal with when you feel like the outcast but sometimes that is best. Just think when you have your surgery how much weight you will be losing and they will all want to know your secret then. They will be running to your desk and wanting to learn from you.

Don't worry hun it will get better.

First off,

Congratulations on your upcoming Lapband surgery, I live in Antioch, but work in Nashville. I had surgery in Mexico, but I know that Dr. Morton is very well thought of in the Nashville area. I'm not sure if he will be the one doing your surgery or not, but good luck to you on your new bandlife journey

About work.... Don't let your co-workers know that it bothers you. Just go about your business and blow it off. Just remain your calm and pleasant self and their attitudes will change soon.

Also, just a teeny tiny suggestion. You might want to consider turning off your caps lock key when you type. See, when you type in all caps, it represents yelling on the internet. It's one of those funny little netty thingies, it "appears" that you're always yelling

Don't hesitate to email or pm me if you have any questions about your upcoming surgery, I don't know if I can help, but I will try if I can.

THANKS FOR THE ADVISE. I WORK AT A HOSPITAL AND I SCHEDULE SURGERIES. IF I ACCIDENTLY PUT IN THE WRONG PROCEDURE OR MISPELL A WORD THEY WILL NO IT BECAUSE THE DOCTORS OFFICES CALL BACK QUICKLY. I AM STILL NEW IN THIS DEPARTMENT SO I AM GOING TO MAKE MISTAKES. I DON'T THINK THEY RELIZE THAT. I THINK I WILL TAKE SOME OF YALLS ADVISE AND MAKE THEM A SPECIAL DESERT. :paranoid BUT I WILL MAKE SURE THAT I MAKE MY OWN DESSERT ON THE SIDE.

I would be sure to ask someone if you have any doubts about what you're keying in. I know that entering the wrong surgical procedure would be a mistake that I wouldn't want to make. Don't worry about asking questions. I train people frequently in my field, and I would much rather they ask, then try to do it by themselves and make it worse by making costly mistakes. You won't be bugging anyone, if you're new in this position, then they will expect you to have questions. Don't be afraid to ask.

Come the first of the year, those women who are hatin on you will be envious of you .. when they ask how you are losing so much weight..tell them the ice cream diet, tell them you eat 1 pint a night right before bed time...then sit back and laugh when they all start gettin chubby... hehehe

Michelle: "ICE CREAM DIET" I am rolling here. TOO FUNNY!!!!!!!!!

THANKS ALL. I FEEL BETTER NOW. I WILL UPDATE YOU ON THE SITUATION LATER. I FEEL LIKE ALL OF YOU ARE LIKE MY BROTHERS AND SISTER. YALL ARE NICE AND HELPFUL. I AM NO LONGER AFRAID TO ASK ANY QUESTION. BIG HUGS!!!!!!!!!1:banana :smoke

Ice Cream Diet? That's great. I was going to steal an idea from the Man Show and tell folks I was using a chocolate suppository. Just put chocolate on a brazil nut and claim it's your suppository and that's how you lose weight.

Can't you picture someone asking their doctor for them?

Oh, Ryan, that's TOO good!
