I just joined this site yesterday and I was surfing the forums, and I couldn't help recognizing all of the fighting...is this normal? My doctor recommended this site as a source of support as I start this journey, but I'm not so sure. Is this site always so negative?

Were is the fighting ? I see it every now and again lol But clearly not as much as you have seen, maybe you have a skill in finding those post as I have not seen much :P

Okay, this whole post was about one particular commentor, on one particular post, did you know you can actually report a comment? Just a tip for the future. I understand you are dealing with depression at the moment, for some that makes things seem alot bigger than it may be , when I initially read the post it sounded like it was 90% negative all the time, till I realised it was a specific poster on one post.

Goodluck with your journey, hope you feel better, but do make sure you tell them about your depression, dont be scared, they can help you , many of us suffer with depression and still get surgery, myself included. :)

I'm not sure but I know my Water intake is increasing.

And as for the... lady of the month, being a transgender woman, I don't suffer her visits.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
