Butterthebean 8,146 Posted November 14, 2013 I don't care for it. But then, I don't care for much because I'm a grumpy-bum. I accidentally walked into a band thread yesterday, because I clicked on 'recent posts'. All I could think when I read it through was 'what in the holy-blue-feck, is this?!' All I can say is us Sleevers are a cordial lot... Disagreements or not.... Glad I didn't get banded! I've seen all sorts of crazy people on VST. We've got every personality malfunction you can think of. I've seen one crazy lapbander that really tops us all, but other than that they don't seem anymore messed up than we do. That being said, it's not that hard to stay away from the other forums. 1 5.0junkie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Brecher 10,515 Posted November 14, 2013 Argh! I completely understand everyones frustration. We have been going through issue by issue and knocking them out one by one - there are MANY! The site has only been online for 6 days now. A little patience would be greatly appreciated. We should have the groups issue fixed by this eve. All I'm asking for is a little time and patience from everyone. By the end of the month I guarantee every single issue or bug will be resolved. We also plan on offering a feature which will allow you to segregate yourself from the other procedures. This won't take a day or two to release but should definitely be in place by the end of this month. I can't force anyone to stay but I'd greatly appreciate if everyone would be as patient with me as I have been with you over the last 10 1/2 years. 1 taylokat reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No game 14,437 Posted November 14, 2013 Cheri! Not chopped liver... You are a fine pâté to be enjoyed along with a good friend and a bottle of wine... Hey? did I just describe a Ménage à trois? I'm pouty today... I'm going to go to the store and buy a Bracelet making kit my son wants. And no he's not gay! Not that there's anything wrong with that. But my lesbian daughter hates kids so he's my only shot at grand babies It might cheer me up to spend money. Oh and sorry fluff you weren't interrupting. This might just be out meeting place for a while. Nice to see your grumpy puss here too revs!! And butter I'm not a cougar I'm a chicken hawk. Ask my much younger husband what the difference is... 3 BlessedBeyondMeasure2012, ReDbEaN and clk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

5.0junkie 770 Posted November 14, 2013 I'm gonna jump in and say thanks Butter for saying we are ALL messed up. Im glad you noticed! The only thing that makes us different was our choice of surgery but I think we all have the same issues. I am curious though who you think the one LapBander is that's crazy as hell???? Are you sure it's just one?!?!? 1 Butterthebean reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Butterthebean 8,146 Posted November 14, 2013 A big for profit site ? I ran these sites at a **HUGE** loss over the last decade. The WLS sites were my passion and hobby and I truly didn't mind. Check my profile out on <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.linkedin.com/in/abrecher'>LinkedIn</a> if you'd like to know more about my background. I've exited the other businesses I was involved in and I'm planning to work full time on BariatricPal. Would I like to at least cover my expenses and possibly make some sort of profit ? Absolutely!!! Was the purpose of combining the sites to make a big for profit site ? Absolutely not!!! If you gotta go, go. You'll be missed by many, not just me. Why you can't have a little patience is beyond my comprehension. Um....get back to work and quit antagonizing your biggest advocate. Laura has defended you more times than you know. She's stressed. You're stressed. We're all stressed. But let's not burn all the bridges this week. 3 Alex Brecher, BlessedBeyondMeasure2012 and 5.0junkie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kvlasy 195 Posted November 14, 2013 Change of topic because I need to share happy and since no one can see the compliments thread (or most any other threads if it comes to it), I am posting it here because I love you guys. My client told me I look like a coke bottle This is such a cultural reference that I wasn't sure I got it. I had to come back and ask my team if that was a good thing or not. Twenty-seven years in this country and there are still certain things... but anyway...apparently it's a good thing, and apparently I look like one. yay me! It's a good thing. My immediate visual was ......think "Jessica Rabbit". 2 kwigillingok and gamergirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
