Okay, so since joining this Board a couple month ago, I have noticed some interesting things. I'd like to start with the differences in posts:

POST 1 EXAMPLE: "Oh my gosh! I just ate twelve brownies, two bagels, a piece of french bread pizza (but it was whole-wheat ), sixteen orders of french fries and topped it off with two large chocolate milk shakes and I feel sick.... what should I do?? Help me, help me now!!!"

Then there are some like this:

POST 2 EXAMPLE: "I accidently ate 5oz instead of my doctors precribed 4oz meal, what should I do?"

The reactions of some posters are equally as interesting, as "some" posters will answer the first post with:

"Oh heck...its alright, when I was 2 days out of surgery I went to a pig roast and wouldn't you know it, I ate half the pig and still had room for granny's punkin' pie - which she had made more for the rest of the family"

Then of course, to the other side of the coin, you have "some" posters in response to the second post:

"Mother of GOD!! You must call your surgeon immediately.. My band slipped all the way down to my rectum and fell out, got caught on my ankle, made me trip and they had to do sixteen hours of surgery just to disentangle my port tubing from my ass"

The bottom line is: For God's sake people use your common friggin' sense. Some on here overreact, some underreact.... Some people do dumb things... Some are way too paranoid. Then there was a post a week or so ago that the poor lady sayd she had been puking three times a day for the past six month.... Ummmm... I am not a rocket scientist and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn last night, but I can tell you that if I puked three times IN ONE DAY, let alone for six months, I would call my doctor...

Common damn sense people.

Happy Memorial Day.

Loved your post also. What a great message.

I needed a good laugh today, but boy do my incisions hurt now........

love it - too funny and sadly too true !!!

Steve I wish many times I had said something like this to people with all their foolishness.Please keep it coming.This will do so much good even though the ones who will gain the most will also hate you the most.

I am still waiting for the haters.... It won't be long, will it??

Thanks for the laugh!!!!!!

Hey Donna - who was your doc?

Commonwealth Surgeons, St Mary's on Bremo and Dr. Bautista

I am still waiting for the haters.... It won't be long, will it??

The haters wouldn't dare! It's the haters who either post the crap you're talking about OR condone horrific habits!

I think even the haters are laughing. That was really VERY funny.

Thanks.. my wife appreciates that others enjoy my humor.

- I'm here all week -

LOL...great post. I look forward to reading your next one...

Bumping my own thread - b/c I am so vain!

This is so funny. I have to admit that I was waiting for the haters or the ones who seem to be experts on everything to reply. I don't post often for fear of being enlightened by those very people.

I have found that oftentimes the "Enlighteners" are merely little elves who are scared of those with a sense of humor. Someone will eventually get mad at me for spreading joy through humor... you will see. I shall merely respond with a simple "Oh Brother".

Laugh *ow* Laugh *ow* Laugh *ow*

Note to self: don't read PSA when I still have my steristrips on.

Hilarious!!!:smile: I so agree, though. People should use common sense but like my friend always says, "common sense isn't common!"

OMG that was the funniest i have ever read, but also so very true. PLEASE, PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE post again. Finally, i'm not the only one that felt that way !
