germen 40 Posted October 7, 2012 @ german' date=' I appreciate your response but if you review my posting thread you will notice that I did not make any disrespectful remarks/comments; you may be referencing a reply comment. It is not my intent, nor will I engage in postings that are negative, antagonist, hostile, etc. I want my experience on GST to be positive and expect all of my interactions to be such.[/quote'] NO its not about you. Sorry if i reply on your post. It was on another poster comment. I know that this forum its about support but some coments (not yours) are just disrespectables for the hispanics. 2 Earwood and BarntruckCutie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's all new 453 Posted October 7, 2012 My surgery was exactly 28 days ago' date=' and my care at Geisinger hospital in Danville, Pennsylvania was less than stellar! I thought I was going to die between the poor care, being left in supine position in the hallways for hours with semi-collapsed lungs, and the massive overwhelming pain that could not be controlled. My situation was so bad.....I still cry when I think about it, and I am in the process of writing a scathing letter to the hospital nursing coordinator...and maybe seeing a lawyer. I am still in pain and coughing crap up from that procedure...and the lack of care I got afterward. But...when I read your story, I feel fortunate. Personally, I would never go to Mexico to have any procedure...Mexico and Hispanics are tearing our country apart, and I would never want to give them money to continue to do so, or whatever else...and those are my feelings and beliefs on the situation regarding Mexico...but...I am going to have to agree with you 1000% about having someone with you at ALL times in case of poor care, as in my case, and as in the case of complications like you had. My daughter had to tell the nurses what to do, and she's just a child. I could go on and on about it...but you are so right! Is it worth it? I have lost 35 pounds in 28 days....and 34 of them were in about 20 days. The 35th pound fell today. Ask me in one year if it's worth it. At this point, even 35 pounds is NOT worth it. This procedure should be an absolute LAST resort. God bless and keep you, and all of us, as you/we recover.[/quote'] This is not the forum for racist, ethnocentric, or denigrating comments.

SleeveandRNYchica 1,155 Posted October 7, 2012 I think sometimes people forget this forum is multicultural and is made of people from all walks of life. I am offend by the comments and I am not Latina; however I live in a Latin American country. That was a very bigoted statement and unfortunately because we are on a forum people feel the need to say what ever they feel no matter who's feelings are affected. I have seen posts from particular individual on VST and I try to stay clear. I am reporting this post.- 12 mcwestfam, FeeIsMe2, buffygirl and 9 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And don't get me started on them colored folks. We should just ship them all back to Africa, amirite? Of course, the Mexicans and blacks are just a drop in the bucket compared to the fatties! I mean, talk about bringing our country down, they just sit on the couch and eat bonbons and watch Jerry Springer all day... Seriously, coming from a group of people (obese) who are routinely discriminated against and judged by their appearance rather than the content of their character, how can you spew such hate and bigotry? By any chance were any of your nurses Hispanic? Sometimes you reap what you sow. 13 sleevehopefull27, Earwood, Cookeeeeez and 10 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Angelmom 30 Posted October 8, 2012 YOU are the people forgetting that I am entitled to my own feelings on whether or not I would want to go to Mexico or any other country besides the U.S. and why I think things are worth it or not, etc. I always stand on principal, and live with the consequences of what is happening to our nation every day. That is part of my life, and I am allowed to express my opinion anytime I want. That is the American way! It's too bad you are so offended...and that's another thing that is wrong with this country...too many people offended all the time...many of them illegal aliens and anchor babies or do-gooder liberals who are blinded by their college education.

NDN_RN 527 Posted October 8, 2012 "Blinded by a college education" that's a first! I bess undo my college edumacation afore I get really stupid, huh. We want the country run by uneducated, ignorant folk...that's what this country needs. Holy Moly. As an indigenous person of this continent I CAN say: remember Cindi, You are the immigrant or child of an immigrant here. but we Natives are more accepting of you, than you are of them.

Angelmom 30 Posted October 8, 2012 I'm a native too, and I have more than a Master's degree...so you really can't turn it around. I was not referring to the subject matter of education, rather the rest of of it. Really, learn to think, and leave me alone, because you really don't know what you are talking about. 1 KristinaAshley reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
