Im leaving this forum, I have had a few people who have just made me feel like I dont belong or whatever and im not dealing with it. I thought this was a place where people support you and where I could ask all the questions in the world buy I guess not because people are making me feel like a bother so im leaving and if anyone can tell me how to delete my account or even just stop the notifications being sent to my email that would be fantastic

Because you asked about your incisions, and rather give you a BS answer we said you should check with your doctor because you can't be diagnosed over the internet? And this was somehow "rude" in your opinion?

Whatever dude. I'm not apologizing for caring enough to tell you the truth- we're not doctors and we can't answer your question..

Btw, you can't delete your account so you'll have to just stop posting.

The way you said it was very rude. You need to learn how to talk to people "dude" and ok thanks for the advice...not

No, you need to use a little common sense and not get your panties in a twist because you didn't get the response you hoping for. Sorry but I don't coddle people.

"Call your doctor. We're not doctors and can't diagnose you over the internet." isn't even remotely rude. If you actually think that's rude then you have issues.

i read the post you referenced as rude

having someone say call the dr is not rude..it is the right thing to do..and the person who advised you, well, i dont have to say much as you can clearly see the success.

if you want help/support, this forum can offer you that

but if in pain, doubt, concern, always refer to your doctor.

heck i could be fat elvis sitting here typing this instead

Yes, this may not be the place for you if you're offended by honest speech. I read those comments and no where did anyone say anything rude or derogatory. Some of us post quite a bit and rather than sugar coat our comments with silly words like, you poor baby, that's too bad or emoticons with smiley faces, we just say what should be said. It's up to you to attempt to read between the lines if you are inclined to do so?

I would suggest you reconsider your decision as this is the best forum to ask and receive honest opinions from bandsters who are walking the walk. It will be your loss. This is what we would call a lose/lose proposition. We can learn from you sometime in the future when you are an experienced Bandster. So I urge you to stay and make this a win/win for all of us?

I've found this Forum to be honest & helpful. But there is a new generation coming along that is being raised on praise motivation. (My grandchildren, for an example.) They get a good grade in school or etc. stars, etc.. . little ones color a picture it goes up on the refrigerator with praise, etc. Probably that works too. . . . But when they grow up I just hope their boss or supervisor is up to the task. I say to use a little bit of both. . . . but what does an old Grandma know? :o :wub:

Adios! You are overly sensitive and need to grow up. Temper tantrums don't work here.

I have been having pain myself

I did have pain of course when it was first done but then I was ok

It's been 5 weeks for me and all of a sudden I starting to getting pain and I am nervous but I am going to see my Dr next week for my first fill so I will talk to him

Just try and stay calm ( but I do understand) and try and call your Dr on Monday

Good luck

I think you hit the nail on the head with this post!!

I went back and read the "rude thread" and can't believe how sensitive some people can be. Wonder how she'd feel if we all said that pain was perfectly normal, don't be such a crybaby, and then she ended up seriously ill or dead from a horrible infection?????? DUH!!!

People crack me up that post 'leaving' messages. If you want to leave without the drama then just go. The fact that you're trying to stir **** up before you go just goes to show you that it's YOU that likes the drama. Sad. I bet this person is the same kind of person that constantly 'deletes' their Facebook only to come running back every week. Good riddance.

65% of the message content in a communication exchange is made up of nonverbal language (i.e., body language, intonation) therefore, one must understand this if they are going to participate in communicating through social media sites via the interwebs B) . This is why people take things the wrong way and think people are being rude when in all actuality they are just trying to be helpful. I'm a big fan of texting and I've had issues with people taking things the wrong way. It happens to everyone!! Except my mother who can't figure out how to text and doesn't even know how to get on the internet (how are we related??).

      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
