Why do I do it to myself?

She didn't ask for suggestions on the board until she had that bad episode of PBing. No mention of Constipation until she had that. And she was apparently thought it was severe enough to ask for help on the board, since she'd already tried MOM unsuccessfully. She said she had pressure on her diaphagm and some sort of other pain she had had previously when constipated, and because of that, thought it was constipation. Again, this occured after her severe PB. Even Dr. C recommended that she go in for an unfill immediately. If she had, her erosion may have been caught sooner. And while she may not take other opinions over her doc's, she took your opinion over Dr. C's. She even posted that she felt well enough to avoid going to the doctor, afterwards.

Normal constipation is one thing. Sudden constipation after having a severe episode of PBing is another.

I'm not saying that you caused her to lose her band. We all know that it was unavoidable at the time. But when a medical situation might be related to a potentially severe band complication, "talk to your doctor" should always be the first advice given.

It's not exactly a leap to think that the two may have been connected, that she really wasn't truly constipated at all, just experiencing similar symptoms. Again, she was already eroded at the time. Nothing you could have done or said could have saved her band. But if she'd gone to see her doctor or surgeon instead of asking for and taking online advice, she may not have gotten as sick as she did.

Again, and for the last time (I'm done with this conversation), my suggestion came BEFORE she came to the board asking for help.

Wow, it is a mess in here! Bits of popcorn everywhere! An empty MOM bottle ! Oooops, what is this, A POM POM! Damn, how did this get in here? Anyone know?

POM POM! HA!!! I was LOL in real time over that one. When you watch who is reading but not posting that makes the comment even funnier.

I'm sure it was. :guess

Look, it isn't that I really dislike you. I just don't trust you. One minute, you're making nasty posts and stirring up trouble on OH about Wendell, and the next you're PMing and emailing people to try to get a look at his blog. I don't trust people who try to play both sides of the field and hope people don't notice. We do.

Now, THAT'S funny! Thanks for the chuckle...

Now, what was it you said in it? Oh, that's right, "I would be interested in seeing your blog about the nurse scandal. I don't want to reveal my reasons at this time." Isn't that right, Njbowman? Oh, wait, I mean Nancy.

Oh, that's so scary! I didn't realize how mean I sounded until I saw it in print! LOL! You got me!

Wendell said that if anyone wanted to see his blog, he would send it to them...did he not??? Wasn't that the whole reason for posting it, so people would see it?

Read my post again, Nancy. I never said you bashed him in emails. I said you are always bashing Wendell on OH. And you are. And what's "I don't want to reveal my reasons at this time" supposed to mean, if not that you were having your own doubts about SandyR? Sounds a hell of a lot like trying to cozy up to Wendell and play both sides of the field. You're nice to people when it suits you, but when they aren't looking, you'll drag them through the mud.

That sounds like cozying up to you? Interesting. He said "e-mail me if you want the info". So I did. I'm not going to answer what I meant by "my own reasons". It's none of your business.

I'm nice to nice people, and not so nice to people who aren't. Pretty simple.

So....

What do you think of Sondra Tabor?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
