    I was in the sleeve forum and there was a very negative conversation, and it threw me....wanted to make sure it wasn't normal....

    Honestly, I need the support. I don't want to tell them I'm depressed as I am because I'm afraid they won't do the surgery....

    Medical Marijuana

    celticNgel replied to celticNgel's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions

    No, I don't use for the high, I use because my body does not metabolize pain meds, so it is a medical necessity. I'm hoping there will be understanding.....

    weed smoker about to get bypass

    celticNgel replied to jchilion2589's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums

    I understand I really need to give up the vape for the surgery and I will,, but the marijuana is medically necessary. I use them under my pain docs orders instead of opiates (which my body does not metabolize) and I know I won't be able to go off it. My pain doc would kill me.

    Trying on smaller sizes

    celticNgel replied to SIPS in Seattle's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions

    I just started on this journey and the first thing I did was was to buy some smaller clothing and hang them up so that I can see them at any time as a positive reinforcement for me!!! I can't wait until I can get into them (and look good). I'm looking forward to not laying down on the bed to zip my pants

    I hail from Rio Rancho, New Mexico!

    Thanks XYZ. I was very honestly not wanting to create a stir, I really wanted to know if others felt supported and edified. Believe me, I understand that there are jerks in the world, but I am in a place right now where I want to set myself up for success, not agitation.

    I never went into chat rooms or forums -- it wasn't my thing. I was seriously concerned though when I came on here yesterday to a "support forum" and read where someone said if they had a 9 mm gun they would shoot the other person in the head....! I don't believe that the keyboard and anonymity is free reign for people to be abusive. I think that's cowardly!!!
  19. celticNgel
    Thank you all for your honest answers and welcoming behavior. I know I'm here for me, and I won't use the excuse that "They're mean so I can't go there" as a reason to fall. I'm in, I'm staying and I'm taking no prisoners, except that emotional eater inside me. I plan on making it this time, no matter what.
  20. celticNgel
    I actually think that's a riot!!! Why can't you have it? Is it the carbonation?
  21. celticNgel
    While I understand that Veronique, you would certainly think that "normal" people wouldn't be talking about blowing peoples heads off with a 9 mm!!!! Childish....
  22. celticNgel
    Well, I've been on a couple of the forums, but darn, there's a lot of attitude here. I get the whole hormonal thing, and Lord knows, the hunger thing, but I need support - not serious negativity!!!
  23. celticNgel

    Wow, I know I'm new here and everything, but I have to say there are some things going on on this site that make me question being here.  My doc reccomended it, but I think he would be as disappointed by all of the fighting on this site as I am.  Is it always like this or is this just a bad day?

      Pretty sure it's an extra bad day. I've been here for over 7 months, and things are great 90% of the time. The 10% fireworks are unfortunate, but probably unavoidable considering everyone is running on low calories, hormone dumping, etc.

      Thanks for the info! I wasn't trying to sound bitchy, I was dead serious. I am looking for understanding, compassion, empathy and yes, honesty -- BUT NEVER HOSTILITY!

      Occasionally I'll tell people to settle down, but it doesn't actually work. So I try to ignore it the best I can. Once a thread goes to the dogs I try to remember not to go back there.

    Hi! I'm new to the RNY process and I would love an experienced pal who will be willing to take this journey with me. I am a 55 year old Christian woman who, in 1991, had her stomach stapled and am now going through the revision process with RNY. I am a disabled American who has an a long and hard road to haul. I am an emotional eater who is now in the process of being "someone else" so that I can find the woman inside who has been silenced by Mike & Ikes! Is anyone available?
  25. celticNgel

    At the beginning - need a pal.

    celticNgel replied to celticNgel's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions

    I don't have a date yet. I am at the very beginning of this journey and, of course, I will have to deal with Humana. I would appreciate an experienced member who has already been there so they can, perhaps, give me an idea of what is to come! Thank you for your answer and support!
