BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I don't know why these threads make me giggle like a 6 year old calling someone poopyhead but damn, I can't resist!

Just a Drop discount info

There is a little history here. DS is a WLS type, it is kinda like extreme malabsorption and it makes your poop and farts so bad people could faint. I mean it's HORRIBLE! This is something DSers battle all the time. It's so bad if they fart the stench clings to their clothing. Others complain openly in public restrooms. I'm telling you, it's extreme. They are forever having to keep Fabreeze and specialized products with them 24/7. One bariatric surgeon was telling another person about a patient where he was removing her gallbladder. She farted while under anesthesia and they were gagging in the OR and since it was the middle of surgery, he couldn't leave the room. The gallbladder patient had DS.

He went on to say that if a DSer farted in an elevator, when the doors opened people wouldn't be rushing out of the elevator, they'd be dead.

There are WLS type wars on OH all the time. Bandsters tease DSers for stinking and they tease us for barfing. They are forever insisting they don't stink yet they keep companies like this in productive business! HA

This thread just cracked me up, I've been laughing since I read it. I just can't imagine my husband wanting me to buy EXTREME odor eaters for the bathroom and clothing. I can't fathom this conversation in my home!

It's not funny that DS patients stink so bad, it's not. But if you saw the horrific things they say about us, referring to our bands as laugh-bands, choke chains, if you saw how they degrade and insult banded people for being banded, maybe you would understand my childish laughter going on right now.

If DS patients eat carbs that is when it is apparently the worst. One piece of cake and they get instant gas and clear a building. Yeah, I'll take my choke chain any 'ol day over farts that are lethal and a stench following me each place I go.

I was drawn for less than a 24 hour period, had a lapse in judgment, but still have been in many a forum dealing with WLS and LBT is just as harsh as any other I've been involved in specifically with me personally:mellow:

:crying:

No comment.

You know, I've clicked on several of the links to the DS pages on the OH forum and thought to myself "Wow, so many of them are judgemental, nasty, bitchy and self-righteous about the choice they made". Then I reread the posts in this thread and think, "Pot...kettle...black".

Better to piss myself than SHIT myself laughing. :crying::lol:

I have your address. I'm sending you some Depends.

*sings* I know you like to think your...

With me now?

Hey, I thought it appropo for the thread :crying:

no one is saying anything about the arteries, which are so clogged by eating all the fried fat and greasy crap that they are going to be in the hospital having bypass(not gastric)!!!

No, it doesn't work like that. Only 20% of the fat is absorbed so the rest is just pooped out. It doesn't end up in the arteries at all.

This is why some have a poop problem -- because they don't have a cholesterol problem. Everthing in life is a trade off and that's theirs.

Personally, I am not a big eater of greasy food and I don't think I could consume enough fat to be successful with a DS. It's one of the things that scares me about it. But having clogged arteries is not.

Heh heh. At least our thread is in Rants and Raves, the un-PC thread.

Really, there are nice DSers and even some of the more aggressive ones can be very helpful to non-DSers about insurance and surgery choices.

But that particular forum on Obesity Help is run by a handful who have, as I like to say, drunk the kool-aide. They really do truly believe that theirs is the only good WLS. For everyone. All the time. And that everyone who doesn't get it, didn't get it because they just didn't know what they know. The kool-aid drinkers set the tone for the rest of them and convert the newbies.

But there are kool-aide drinkers here. They've just drunk the lap band kool-aide. Plus the rest of us keep them in line. :crying:

I caught the reference Fanny. Roses always cracked me up when it came on the radio.

Roses really smell like poo-poo poo

Outcast really put some thought into those lyrics?!?

I caught it too...after i thought for a minute It is late here lol.

And I didn't think it was funny...because she was calling me Caroline. :|

@MacMadame: Yeah I know this is R&R and it can be fun to get down and dirty with the bitchiness - hell, I belong to a forum where that is the sole entire aim of the place, and believe me that place can get nasty! But this thread still strikes me as incredibly hypocritical - all the things that people in here are accusing people in the DS/OH forum of being (and most of the accusations are true), are also exhibited by people in here, in spades.

@Plain: Hehe - now I've got that stupid song stuck in my head, so I suppose that counts as instant karma, eh?

@Froggi: It was meant as a friendly jab, not a thrust to the heart, so keep yer knickers on and don't get all het up about it, ok? :crying:

Then be sure to say it in the same post...mmkay. Cause it didn't sound like it was meant to be in fun. :crying:

You tell em Fanny!! by the way how are you doing and did you get that kink fixed?? Nancy

Hehe - seems like some can dish it but can't take it... It was meant as a little jab but it really wasn't meant to nasty - I thought it was funny and fitted the thread perfectly :crying:. Sorry, Froggi, but hey - you mooned me first, chica!

Re the kink: Booked in to get it fixed on October 1st :rofl: It hasn't been giving me any trouble but the doc doesn't want to leave it like that forever. It hasn't even felt sore or bruised since I stopped poking at it every night, wondering what the hell it was - imagine that? LOL!

Tanny,

I wasn't sure when you were getting it fixed you said you had to wait on insurance or something before, good luck with that. I've had to deal with issues with my daughter who had RNY in May with a stricture and spent way too much time at the hospital this week!!! I'm basically a worrier anyway but when it comes to your own kid it's magnified! Sometimes I wish there weren't WLS anymore!! take care Nancy.
