Recommended Posts

This just came this morning. Has anyone else received one? I can't believe this crap comes through this site. Is there NO place we're safe from this sh-it?!

I am Mr. Alain Champeaux a Texas, San Antonio, American Citizen but presently in Ghana, working with TOTAL OIL COMPANY in conjunction with Ghana National Petroleum Cooperation (GNPC) at the moment, I have a very big transaction, which I will like to discuss with you. or email me @ (a_champeaux@hotmail.com)

Thanks

Mr. Alain Champeaux

Yea, that's the same one I just received. I reported it, I don't know if that can stop it though. Such a pain.

Steph - how do you report it?

If they contacted you like me through private messaging. In the corner down where it says "like this" is a button that says report, you have to put your curser by it or you can barely see it. Otherwise you can PM Alex and give him the info you got in the message ie, email addy, name, stuff like that.

We have pretty sophisticated spam software that catches 99% of these guys before they get started. Some do fall through the crack and they're a big pain in the neck to deal with. The only way to root them out, is by having our members REPORT them. We review every single report we receive, daily. Thanks to everyone for assisting!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
