You were ALWAYS decent to me, so there's no hard feelings towards you from me.

That makes me feel better - I generally speak from the heart, but sometimes I can be very reactionary and then will say anything. I try tho. :heh:

It's who you're thinking of. I wish her the best with her pregnancy, but it doesn't change the way she treated me. I was absolutely humiliated. I had NEVER been treated that way before, and it just stunned me that she would treat someone like that with no more provocation than she had, and in front of the ENTIRE board, no less. The very least she could have done was to confront me through PMs instead of on the board. I'm sorry that she's had a tough row to hoe, I really am, but it doesn't mean she gets a free ticket to be vicious to people and treat them with so little respect. I'm sure she can be a really nice person, but that wasn't my experience with her.

I remember that, it was pretty horrible. THAT is the kind of stuff that really doesn't happen over here. If people disagree they are adult enough to say they disagree and move on. There is no absolute hate and anger here the way there is on OH.

People here are different. I mean... people here would help ANYONE that needed it. ANY fat person can come here and everyone will jump in and do anything they can for them. There are a couple of folks on LBT that aren't my favorite people in life but I'd do pretty much anything in my power to help them if there was something they needed. And they'd do the same for me.

That doesn't happen on OH, not unless you are one of the cheerleaders.

I was moderated for my "Cheerleader" theory :) on OH but I stand behind it. That IS what they are like. It's often said that nurses eat their young (they are mean to new grads) but the meanest old hags I have met in nursing don't compare to OH folks. There is simply no excuse for their behavior.

When I was moderated I came back with a new ID. Instead of KabukiCoyote I was Kabuki_Coyote. Not exactly trying to hide who I was. I never lied about any ID, never came on as a sock puppet, I even point blank explained ON THE BOARDS why I changed my ID and yet the grief for changing IDs and the accusations of sock puppets... just more OH drama. It just gets so old after time.

OH = Drama, hate, pack mentality, and cheerleaders.

LBT = Support, sincere caring about others, sharing ideas, and forming REAL friendships. No drama, no cheerleaders, just sanity. I love it here.

I am guessing that I am that "someone who posted on this thread". I know about the email list - but I don't know who started it. I do know that it has been gone for a long time - at least I don't see any emails like that anymore. I think lots of people got caught up in things, as people often do, and eventually got their lives back. I seem to remember people asking to be dropped from the emails until it dried up. But then again I get over 300 emails per day between work and home, so I scan and delete most of the time. Point being - that email list is long gone, I believe.

I hope that you are right. It's good to know that some folks have moved beyond that type of thing.

Wasn't it Sandy that got caught with sockpuppets?

Yeah, she's been caught on OH and her own doc's board.

She was banned from the Kuri board for a while, they caught her coming up with new IDs to support her stance in any given topic when others would disagree with her. She's back now, but moderated. Heh... They are back to watching her IP address and that of the newbies.

Wait! I just read her profile and she says she's an educator FOR Kuri? I'm cornfuzzled.

She's writing a band booklet for him. The same thing she gives away to others and he's paying for it! HA!!!!

You mean she REALLY IS an educator for Dr. Kuri???? I am sorry but I just assumed that was untrue as is the licensed nurse stuff and the band practitioner crap. A doc who banned her from his board is letting her write and info pamphlet for him?? I am speechless.....and that is rare. Bwaahaaaahaaa

This is a pretty good example of what happens at OH. They are accusing the person of being a troll and maybe she is...but what if she isn't? What if she is a newbie who really is trying to just involved on the board? I don't know if she is on the level or not but neither do they........

Interestingly, NancyB recently suggested to someone that they should do a colonic cleanse to help alleviate the symptoms that they were having. Trouble is the person had an erosion that ended up being a medical emergency. OH seems to be the place to go if you want cheep advice from non-professionals as well as this kind of crap.

Yep. For years she's been claiming to work for him and now she actually does. All she's doing is writing a band booklet from what I understand. Something she GIVES away to everyone else. ;)

Just because someone is a doc doesn't mean they are good business people. :cry

Great. One can only guess what symptoms require a colonic cleansing.

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
