It is a private poll. Nobody knows who voted for whom unless you choose to post your choice.

Be advised that this is a public poll: other users can see the choice(s) you selected

nope - public poll...

Yeah you can click the number to see who voted what.

It's sexist, and I don't care.. but I do not want to see Hillary in office. If nothing else, it would make our country look weak.

And as much as you want to argue it (or maybe other women can agree with me!) women are more emotional than men, and make decisions based on emotion sometimes. I don't think that's good for a president.

DH and I have been talking about it, I worry the future of our country if a woman was in power.. but he pointed out, if she is president, she will just be a puppet for Bill.. which I can live with (even though I am republican).

I'm fiscally Republican and socially Democrat.

It's odd that many would want Hilary... considering she is pushing this whole government health crap.... to be like Canada. From what I hear, they don't give two cents about obese people and trying to get a lap band from them would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Surgeries are pushed back for months and many people die due to that sort of healthcare!

I wish I could vote LIBERTARIAN! More people are libertarian and they don't even realize it!! Folks, why get the government even more involved in our damned lives??? They never even fire anybody.. which means no matter what they do, they never get fired... I know two people who work for the government and one is a complete drunkard (even drinks on her lunchbreak) and the other has serious mental issues and is suicidal and we want these people telling us what to do?? (no offense to any government people who are perfectly fine..), but come on.....

I think the Canadian government is paying them to stay here to soften us up as prelude to invasion.

Vote Ron Paul!

I have Canadia family. My aunt actually took my 12 year old cousin out of school for a day to protest Bush when he was up there for something. I say they're batshiat crazy.

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
