Wow, he doesn't sound like a very good fill doc. I'd be mightily pissed, if I were you.

That's the thing... he's such an awesome guy I have a hard time being pissed at him, but still... yeah, I am kinda pissed.

As for rules, I like one they have at DD's school:

"If it bothers someone, you have to cut it out."

We now use that one at home.

That really leaves the door open to LOTS of rules! :thumbup:

Not really. The school law book is *really* short. At the public school, they had a 3 page dress code and we were still always confused about what was and wasn't allowed. This place has a two line dress code and we're not confused at all.

Basically, they handle discipline through a Judicial Committee made up of staff and students. So if you are doing something that annoys me and I ask you to cut it out and you don't, I have 3 choices... I can drop it, I can pursue it through JC by writing up a complaint or I can escalate the confrontation until I either get my way or get written up myself.

Kind of like real life.... :thumbup:

What about when someone asks for positive and the reply is negative. That happened to me and then the person says, well if you are posting on a public forum you get what you get! HELLO, I asked for POSITIVE. If you can't read then don't post! LOL

I like that. They get to decide whether it is important enough to pursue. Cool.

good friend goes into the hospital monday for a wk of chemo before his bone marrow transplant. SO lucky to found a match so soon.....had been wondering what to get him so today i bought a digital photo frame (YES bitched about it some 500 pages ago) - but he'll be there for over a month after chemo - then marrow transplant.

i like how i look NOW at 120'''something or another vs 10+yrs ago.

PJTP...:thumbup: there is a person on other threads that had a revision. I will call her the angry person. Since that revision she is sounding so hateful towards others. Her last few post has been very hateful. Last one was talking about the poster not losing very much. But she is pbing everything. Some one talked about starvation mode and the angry person said something to the effect of there is no proof that you go into starvation mode. She was angry because the woman doesn't like to excersize. If she doesn't want to that is her perogative. Don't belittle someone for not doing what is the smart thing. I just had to get it off my chest:cursing:

I used to really like and respect this person. She is intelligent, (or so I thought) Her post was always to the point, but in a nice way. Not like lately.

You can ask but you can't demand. If people don't want to respond positively, that's their prerogative (as long as they don't break any forum rules).

Hm, '98...'98... that was after the Aquanet wave in the front, past the tight-poodle perms and WAY past the feathers, right?

What was the hair-do for '98?

:) Photos are definitely memory tuggers. I love going through the photos of my friends and me. All our goofy stuff, road trips and things we took! Have fun with that!

Give a big extra hug to your friend! My friend's dad went through the same thing, only it took a loong time to find a match.

:frown: Take care, G4E! I hope things start to look up for you soon. *sends good joojoo from DownUnder*

Mmm....good joojoo from DownUnder - is that those purple crunchy bars that I buy at World Market? :tongue_smilie:

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      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.
