More oversharing ... had no idea until recently that emoji meant hugs. I thought it meant "excited", like jazz hands. Once I realized I tried to think back if I inappropriately sent hugs to any one, like customers, or my boss ... still unsure ...

I'd been sending what I thought was a fistbump through Slack until a millennial told me it's actually a face-punch. So now I just send my team completely random and inappropriate emojis deliberately, screw it. Let them figure it out.

Uniposters.

Out of nowhere they come teeming with rhetoric and discontent.

Bye Felicia 😒 with your empty profile and singular post.

A SMH for me, would you post an approximate location for yourself?, It does little benefit for me to babble on about something if I am in the USA and you're in Australia, UK or Abu Dhabi, all fine places but you haven't a clue what I am referring to.

Something to wonder about my records, everybody tells me it says I have hypertension, yet my PCP doesn't prescribe anything for it. Closest I have is my Wellbutrin and that's for mild depression. Oh well, if hypertension blows the Top off my head, all they will say is "Poor Frustr8, her thoughts were always a little scattered" or call me an "Airhead" LOL children, this world 🌏 is an Odd Old Place!

Hypertension is high blood pressure. What are your numbers? If you are not satisfied or would just prefer to see a specialist, you can see a specialist for high blood pressure which is usually either a cardiologist or a nephrologist (a kidney specialist). Wellbutrin treats depression and could be contributing to the problem.

Anywhere from 118/58 at Bariatric surgeon to 140/90 while feuding with PCP, yeah I am labile but don't raise my hackles and things will be smooth. Have an appointment with Dr Karve, pronounced Kar-vay, in January, she's my cardiologist, uber smart, sure will address it with her if not sooner! Yes I sure don't want hypertension beating my 3 kidneys to death, rather fond of them all, my paltry claim to fame!

This doesn't seem to be anything that needs treating from my perspective. It's normal for our bp's to raise when feuding...it's what the body does. 140/90 is barely borderline in a fight/flight response time. Normal.

*but I'm not a doc nor do I play one on the internet or tv.*

Yeah you know what we were feuding about. He said to me " I won't tell them any different, but don't you really think you ought give up bariatric surgery because of your age? No I don't, I have worked too hard toward it.

[Frustr8 7,886]

And by Golly I got my surgery and am trying very hard to heal, Buster! Keep raining⚡☁⚡ on MY Parade and I'm going to bust your☔ umberella÷!!

Annnnnnnnnnd I'm back.

I'm going to need this site to consider creating dedicated sections for Stalls and Regrets.

That's all you see these days in regards to need threads and it's kind of repetitive.

I haven’t even had my surgery yet and I’m tired of all the stall posts. Would be nice to have a FAQs for new members thread at the top of every forum. Not sure if people would read it but it may help some people. The first FAQ should address that the search feature is your friend. Your question has probably been addressed before and to Please start there.

I'm always amazed at how nice most of the vets are to the folks that come in with "Help! I'm blah blah years out and I've regained a million pounds! What did I do wrong? Did I stretch my stomach?" You seriously have no clue what you could have done wrong? I don't know about you, but if I was smashing mostly healthy food everyday and GAINED weight consistently for such a long period of time, I'd be scared as f**k! I would be rolling my ass to the MD because clearly my body has me fucked up. That ain't normal.
