Common Courtesy PLEASE

[Wanda247 908]

Ok...I just need to say this because it bothers me. I've been on Bariatricpal for almost 5 months, I read a lot of posts and I've received a wealth of information here and truly appreciate members taking out time to answer questions, attaching research articles to back up their statements, comforting, encouraging and the list goes on. Some of the people that are asking for help DO NOT EVEN have the decency to respond back to the people that are taking their time out to answer questions, some just post a question and seem to dissapear?? Really. I really don't give advice here because I'm still a work in progress and I am one of those that do ask questions from time to time and I really appreciate each and everyone of you for taking the time out to respond back when you are just as busy as the rest of us are. PLEASE PEOPLE do not just be takers....show your appreciation to the ones responding by at least acknowledging that you did read their response...These are people that have been through the process and understand it!! we are tying to get to where they are.

I APPRECIATE YOU!! You know who you are

Sadly this is the age of the internet... where courtesy doesn't exist (much). I agree with you 100%.

You are so right, @wanda247! You, on the other hand, are always kind and courteous!

I don't think I would have made it to surgery without the help from you all, I was afraid as well. I feel great 2.5 weeks post-op and 20 lbs down. YES!!

You are so kind as well. I always enjoy reading your posts

Call it karma or whatever you want but this world would be a lot better place if people treated each other the way they want or expect to be treated. Good topic
