Hunting Season - Heads will roll



Recommended Posts

I don't know headhunter nor is it my goal to know him. HA!!!! I have been coming here for 2 years and enjoyed it alot until crap started happening. ditto I left for the most part but pop in and out hoping they have changed how it is run. They haven't.

This is R&R if someone wants to BITCH they should be able to. Telling Rho to have another glass of wine and shuddup is outta line.

Out of line and NOT in keeping with being a mod IMO. That's just rude and attacking the person but I guess it's ok since it's outside of LBT.

My question to the thread is: Is it OK to take obvious LBT issues and then post veiled statuses on FB about said topic?

NO, it's not. Oh, I guess I disagree again. I'm so horrible. Where's my damn wine???

Really....I'm not so stupid to not get the references. Wanna unfriend me? No time like the present.

I too lurve the ignore feature....have for month and months!

But, sweetie...that's what being passive agressive is about. Bless your heart.

Amen! Thank you! I think that a mod who takes it that personal is in a slippery slope of bad-authority decision making.

i have no skin in the HH debacle. he broke the rules, ok he's banned.

from my standpoint, he was a good asset to have here. another voice for a bad band experience & to offer another view.

too many times, the band complication threads or those OP's putting out questions on what WLS type to have are bombared by those who are ADAMENT the band is the best thing since puppy breath.....and ANY kind of band complication is the fault of the patient.

i liked his writing style & while gruff - i appreciate that.

wish he found the ignore feature first - it's a FAB option to use here, about to use it myself after this post.

I appreciate that, Lu. I know you don't get involved w/stuff and I agree that I wish HH had found ignore.

Is that your missing post RHO?

NOPE. There was another. (two, actually, mine and someone else's.)

NOW I'M PISSED - this has gone and ruined my travel leisure!

Am I to understand that a MOD here - went to another site (FB) and attacked/chastised/ridiculed or otherwise demeaned a person from LBT - if that isn't grounds for LBT banishment - and forfeiture of mod status - I don't know what is - oh wait yes I do - speaking up for oneself - that gets it done!

I am with you KC. It became personal when not only were posts deleted but when it went off the LBT rant and into others lives.

I have friends and family on FB that would PISS me off if they saw some childish crap like that. Second of all how depressing is it to have negative taglines. Shouldn't it be upbeat!?

Absolutely - most of us do not discuss LBT - or any band topics on FB for privacy reasons - this was an intolerable act!

Completely forgot to mention the deleting posts issue do my anger and frustration over the previous topic. Deleting someone else's words because you don't like what they say - is intolerable - but again I guess it will be tolerated here.

Im gonna put my 2 cents in as someone who's previously argued with HH. We had a go round about something then it was done with. We were never rude again and were able to get over it. I personally find him informative and his posts highly entertaining. Did he piss me off at 1 point yes he did. But so what were adults people piss us off daily. If someone annoys you then just ignore them. Don't cont to argue with them every chance you get. Were adults on the Internet not kids trying to get our big brother grounded. Just ignore someone you don't like it's not like it's a co worker or family member you have to speak to.

Well, two things were deleted...mine and the other's. So, not sure why? I never received an email or warning or anything before it happened.

And, to be fair - I don't know who did it. I can only guess.

I can get sarcastic...but I do prefer to be fair. I will hold off tossing out speculation until I know more. Actually, I refreshed the page several times, closed window, logged back on...just to be sure that the posts were gone. I didn't want to jump to conclusions....

Besides, maybe asking WTF is a little beyond my duties as a member to just shut up, drink wine and contribute positive feedback about lbt.

I agree! :blink: Thank you for chiming in.

Argh...it's not even my fight, but then they went and made it personal! LOL

Change of thought - PinkPassion is on OH. I don't like that site, and rarely go, but got an email alert and decided to check it out. I saw a post by her and it's eloquent and not at all trash-talk. I thought it was interesting that her environment changed and so did she. It made me think to lbt and how maybe that it's changing for the worse...becoming what OH used to be known as. That's a shame.

Okay...back on subject...sorry!

I've heard the mods say that it doesn't work the other way. That they can't ignore anyone.

Pity. Maybe that's why they delete willy-nilly.

      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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
