Stop the Whining Over A Few Miserable Days!

  • Popular Post

I Know this is not supportive and will make a few people upset. But it's My Rant & Rave.

This is not aimed at those experiencing complications from surgery. It's about people that REGRET surgery after a few days or weeks of the going getting tough. Did they research WLS?! Or how how read the many stories on this site about others experiences after surgery? No one said it was going to be easy. Feeling nauseous, vomiting, no energy, not being able to get in all your liquids and Proteins is pretty common. That is no true reason to REGRET this life saving procedure!

Yes I do understand the emotional effects surgery can have on you with your hormones being out of whack. Still not a excuse. I was prepared for all these things. In the hospital I had a few issues with the nursing staff where my pain medication was withheld from me. I was in pain for hours crying, had to call my sister to come to the hospital in the middle of the night. Not ONCE did I wish I didn't have the surgery. I knew soon or later my pain would be managed! And that's the whole point. It will get better. You can't whine and regret things because your experiencing a rough time. Life is like that too.

So UNLESS your have a serious life altering complication SUCK IT UP!!! You knew the possible side effects...

  • So,here is what I understand from your rant. 1. Your sleeve was only a month ago 2. You felt prepared and confidant going in. 3. Pain management has been poor, and people need to speak up. 4.

  • I go into surgery tomorrow. And I have to say THANK YOU to all the people that have posted a rant or a complaint or a complication because it has prepared me. Everyone is different but I like to hear

    I also knew getting big and fat was bad. Did lots of research, lots of diets. Still got big and fat. I have feelings and regrets about that. Just because you have regrets doesn't mean you weren't well

Children are dying of cancer. People are losing loved ones. Life is hard for someone today. Please let go of the negativity here and find something meaningful to say today, that might help someone, not hurt them.

This topic is done! Rules are not being followed here and it will be shut down!

They should have fought the psychologically clearance a little harder to clear you of your if I'm not having issues or regrets attitude and until I do your not allowed attitude. No wonder you didn't get your pain meds from that nurse sounds like you should have put your big girl panties on.

Looks like you you need to still see a therapist. Did I hurt your feelings? Are you on here crying because you can't have your milk and Cookies? Waa, waa, waa-aa I want my milk and cookies!

I am going to request again that the personal attacks stop from BOTH sides of the argument.

Thank you.

i agree with lipstick...this thread needs to be locked as it is just going down a dead end and stupid ass road....

It started that way to begin with..take the key and lock it up
