Heh... I recognize that quote! You are reading over there, eh? ;o)

Why oh why didn't I get DS!

It could have something to do with the fact that you are like, 70 different people.

You have more fans than I do! I am in awe!

I'd love to take credit for that one but I can't. (fans) Dee (used to be TomorrowsDream, dody, a bunch of IDs from here) are mostly all those people. At least 68 of the 70. She just gives me credit for being the IDs. She comes up with an ID then comes up with another and claims her first ID is me. The number of IDs she has there is astonishing.

And no, I'm not kidding. She has a new ID on a daily basis. Sometimes she poses as a DSer that hates banded people, sometimes she poses as a sleeve person that loves everyone... truth is, she is banded.

She's a bit of a whacko. I just keep blocking the IDs.

Ahh. Dody. I remember her (not well, but I do remember)

Why do people do that? Attention? Boredom? Anger? Al of the above?

No, I think she just has lots of severe emotional problems.

Finally got a chance to read this, it did make me giggle, of course it is also a little past 4am and I can't sleep. But whatever :sneaky:... my concern is the ad for the product is:

Perfect for sharing with friends, family, & co-workers!

(as if it's in the same category as a cookie or other gift or something)

"Hey Jill, I noticed you were stinking up the joint last night, I just thought I'd 'drop' by with my little secret so that won't happen again"

"Oh Susan, thank you SO much! I know we're just coworkers, but knowing that someone is always there to 'sniff' out any problems and help me is so nice."

Then I imagine the two women turning to the camera and saying "Just a Drop- for everyone you know."

And cue music:: end!

A banded friend of mine on OH wrote me this morning and said for an advertising slogan... "when toilet paper just isn't enough..."

Yikes, I just can't imagine having this surgery so I could eat anything I wanted. I'd rather a healthy diet over "odor" issues. Can you imagine farting and the stink hanging onto your clothes? There is a whole line of products available! Baby wipe type products designed for this, tablets taken to kill body odor, antibiotics that people are on for life (Flagyl and Cipro), Fabreeze type products for the air, and now drops for the ter'lit.

Freak'en amazing.

I don't believe I'll be whining about banding for awhile. ;o)

Hahaha I am sitting here at work grinning and giggling like a school girl. Too funny and too crazy.

Although I do not know much info on the DS weight loss surgery and up until today had no idea they had that issue but I do not understand why someone would opt for that surgery vs band or RNY. You may lose weight but eating high fat foods cannot be good for you in other ways.

Crazyness.

RNY folks have the same issue but to a MUCH smaller degree.

I don't understand why someone would choose that WLS type either. Makes no sense to me. I can't wrap my brain around an inability to give up bad foods in favor of stinky.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that has been laughing and giggling over that thread. Each time I even think about it I start laughing especially in light of how they attempted to torment bandsters.

They were even invading the band board slam dunking newbies thinking about surgery. OH deleted a bunch of stuff and moderated a few DSers. It was *really* bad. They believe they are recruiting people for their surgery type and this is a good thing? They claim this is a cure for obesity unlike our "laugh-bands". They slam dunk me for cutting out white carbs yet look what happens when THEY eat carbs?

Yeah, I think I'll just give up the bad stuff over stinky. ;o)

This is the funniest thing I've ever read. I had no idea that DS had such horrible side effects. I have bad gas but nothing like that.

I am so glad you posted this. What an eye opener.

You guys kinda make me wish I knew crap about OH and what goes on there, but sadly I do not. Like 3 or 4 years ago I tried to get onboard but it was so damn near impossible to sign up, navigate, etc. that I gave up. If I can't figure it out, I probably don't need it.

But seems like the entertainment factor could be worth figuring it out...

I agree with Wheetsin. I joined there a couple of years ago, but left as soon as I discovered LBT. Me thinks I may also have to re-subscribe just for the entertainment value.

      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.
