How can you tell someone that they can msg you anytime if you have any questions but when you do they tell you that you’re getting way too ahead of yourself and to slow down ?! Like seriously it was a question...honestly it really discouraged me and made me feel some type of way

What was the question, maybe someone else can help

In my mind it's natural to have questions, some of which may involve things down the road. All because things you ask about may be down the road doesn't mean you're rushing ahead. You're just curious. Seems that some people think they are so experienced that they can stop others from asking questions by saying "slow down" or "don't panic" or "pump the brakes" as if those asking questions are jumping ahead rather than living in the bariatric moment. We can live in the bariatric moment and still have random questions.

Felt discouraged? I'm sorry to hear that. At least you learned who you may not want as a bariatric friend. Obviously, you wouldn't treat someone like that (nor would I).

Felt some kind of way? Yeah, I can definitely understand why. You reached out to a new friend and were shut down when you asked a question following the friend inviting you to message with any questions. It's a mind****.

There are some nice people on here. I hope you'll stay despite the cold reception.

Yeah the sad thing is this person works for the surgeon/ office I got referred to. I’m just trying to get things done if I need them done you know, I’m curious and I just wanted a few answers, they didn’t have to be rude about it. Thank you you couldn’t have said it any better

A short Poem for you
Smart alecks and rude
They're only crude.
Bariatric pals and friends

Maybe not world class poetry but I do work,cheap. Have a good night and get some rest, okay?

I understand completely...the nurse in the surgeons office doesn't reply to my messages [emoji57]
