This thread is going to be sooo inappropriate!

I once got cained on this board for saying that had I had a gastric bypass (which I know we're not talking about here) I would have been saddened by the fact that it had come to that.

I once made the comment that if RNY were my only option, I'd still be fat. That didn't make me any friends.

by saying their body turns bad unhealthy food into good food

WTF? Are you serious? So DS has realized some kind of magical, gastrointestinal alchemist's dream. Amazing!

I don't know any DSers so I don't know if they stink. I do know lots of RNYers and I know that they're stinkier than your average Joe.

I don't think I'm stinkier than the next gal, but I guess they could complain about that "damn gurgling" sound I make sometimes.

I don't post very often, but I had to this time. This is the funniest thread I have ever read!! Thanks for a great morning start!!

Yep, dead serious.

I was trying to be polite in the beginning when they started attacking. I was saying that DS would not have been an option for me because when it comes to fast food, give me an inch and I'll take 10 miles. If I could go to Bugggar King twice weekly, I'd go two times daily. The band does not permit burgers so banding was a better option for me.

I was told it was okay to go to Bugggar King twice daily as DS turns unhealthy foods into healthy foods.

At that point I knew it was a lost cause. If they really believe that DS can absorb nutrition when there is none to be absorbed, how do you argue with that?

I'm not sure gurgling is nearly as offensive as stinky. ;o) Did you read the "Just a drop" lady when she wrote about curling the wallpaper in the bathroom? HA!

Oh holy Sh*t, this woman got WRITTEN UP AT WORK for her GAS.

question for those who had/have gas

And yes, I have had horrid gas. Was even written up at work because of it, and had co-workers make rude comments and accusations. I don't work there any more.

But no one told me, early on, how Probiotics would help, nor how carbs affect the issue. Once I got that going things settled quite abit. Also, if you Google charcoal underwear, the first thing that comes up, those help a LOT.

wtf is charcol underwear, are you KIDDING me?

That is BEYOND HILARIOUS.

Holy crap, I'd so totally give up Mickey D's over wearing charcoal underwear. That's such a no-brainer to me.

[Angelica 1]

I guess I just cant get over the fact that they'd be willing to deal with all this emotional strain over bullsh*t food. They are writing like they have found the holy grail, and the rest of us are all ignorant fools who just dont understand their need to eat entire boxes of girl scout Cookies, and 3 double cheese bugers at a time.

I cant follow the thought process, but I am ordering some charcoal underwear to give to my bestfriend as a gag gift.

HA.

I am soooo glad I'm not the only one that can't stop reading that stuff. Heh...

You know, one of the assumptions society appears to make is that we really prefer a donut over being thin. It dawned on me reading your post that DSers prefer a Quarter Pounder over "normal" smelling.

I don't get it. I can't imagine, I can't fathom, I can't think of a single reason I would prefer DS over ANY other WLS type. I just can't wrap my brain around it, it boggles the mind. Then to watch them attack anyone that doesn't have DS... are they just nutty?

OMG charcoal underwear???? WTF?

[Angelica 1]

Okay, I swear, this is the last link I am posting, I just really needed something to chuckle at whist at work today. This has really lifted my spirit and reminded me why I chose a band, and what hard work is worth.

omg - i just read this ENTIRE thread, while waiting on Direct TV..... hillarious.

[babygrl1234 6]

Sounds like another "Oops I crapped my pants" moment

Oops I crapped my pants

It is an oldie but goodie

[Wheetsin 714]

Ok you guys made me go and google. I used "duodenal" and "stinky" and guess what site loads -- OH. In particular, a post about anal fissures. Oh my.

I'm reading through the thread that google hit, and you're right. There seems to be a lot of hostility over the band, and other procedures. Here's one person's "signature" (part of it anyway):

With the DS: there is no stoma, so no stoma strictures; there are no limitations (other than volume) against drinking before, during or after meals; 80% of ingested fat is malabsorbed, allowing liberal use of eggs, butter, mayonaisse, healthy oils, marbled meats, cheese, etc., in the diet; 98.9% of type II diabetics are CURED of this devastating disease, with data showing stable cure over 10 years out; there is the best average weight loss and most durable (average 76%...

Like -- it's so weird that someone would make that their signature.

What I really don't get -- why would some give a flying fazooie what kind of surgery I or any of you have? You'd think we were debating religion. So this surgery was right for me, and yours was right for you. Wtf is there in that to get mad about??

[travelgirl 3]

LMAO!!!!!! Hey, wasa, be careful what you stir up over there, one of them might aim a fart at you!

[Wheetsin 714]

Do you guys know how addictive this stuff is to someone who doesn't go to OH? Reading threads there is like watching the Anna Nicole show.

[luluc 6]

I'm home all day and needed soemthing to fill up the time - So, I too Wheetsin googled OH - this is what I found:

Besides, grazing on fats leads to explosive diahrreah or greasy stools that sometimes leak out into my underwear when I pass gas. ( I know, TMI, but I have to go here in order to explain my food choices.) I have messed myself several times while in my car, but I have discovered that if I eat rice and other complex carbs with the fats, I can bind up the grease without losing control of my bowels

....and I was worried the first few wks of post op on the band, not "trusting the fart".....
