CandyCrushVSG 27 Posted March 18, 2015 DO NOT JOIN THE Facebook GROUP!! The person running it is FAR from supportive of everyone's journey she just banned two people from the group over a joke that she took way to far even though the people involved saw no issues. You can not have your own journey in there its her way or your banned. Everyone's journey is different, has different requirements, and different opinions that should be supported as a group and no one needs to feel singled out because of it. The vibe changed drastically over a period of one night. I doubt it will be the same it was again. What's the point in banning people for sticking up for others or because they have a different journey than you?! We are all into this TOGETHER!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CapeMom3 5 Posted March 18, 2015 That's just not right! Isn't the point to be supportive of others??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alora VSG Begonia 53 Posted March 19, 2015 Oh lord. Please start your own group. I'm sure you will be excellent at it. Lol. If anyone wants to join we have four new additional admins to soften my tyrannical rule . I'm not even going to respond to this insane rant but we are still accepting members and have about 43 people currently (about two more joined after the above person left) Everyone is very friendly and you are welcome to join us. Thanks everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CandyCrushVSG 27 Posted March 19, 2015 I didn't leave, I was banned for sticking up for someone and then blocked. I had no plans to leave but im not about subjecting people to what happened. I am about supporting everyone for who they are and what their personal journey is. I am sorry you can not do that too. It saddens me that you have to act like you did to feel better about yourself. No one deserves to be scrutinized or publicly attacked no one! I never left you banned me for having my opinion on how it was poorly handled! Three active members left because of your lack of being able to support everyone. Just because you have 43 members doesn't mean anything. Only maybe 10-15 are active and 3 of the best were banned and blocked from no ones choice but your own. No one deserves to feel like how you made people feel during this stressful and important time in their life. I am sure you deleted everything but I saved every bit of it so keep on I am going to people who won't treat people like you do/did. It is by far from a rant but a warning for people who want a supportive group no matter what they choose is important for them and their journey you should love everyone for who they are not only the ones who agree with how you view things. (FYI you still responded to the "rant") Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alora VSG Begonia 53 Posted March 19, 2015 People were kicked for criticizing other's food choices and it wasn't just that one time. That's a rule in our group. I'm unfollowing this thread now but I hope you guys are able to support each other with people who don't mind having boundaries crossed. If that's the kind of support you are looking for you are correct in seeking it elsewhere. Good luck on your journey to health. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CandyCrushVSG 27 Posted March 19, 2015 No one was criticizing anyone and that's the biggest problem here. Both parties were completely fine with the comment as it was a joke to help lighten the stress and tension that you get from pre-op liquid diet phase. No boundaries were pushed by anyone but you and you fail to see what you did wrong and what you could have done to make it right instead you made others feel horrible, and banned people saying they left when they did not. You making people feel ganged up on, scrutinized, attacked, and horrible is absolutely not the support I am looking for. You are right on that one! I sure didn't do anything but stand up for someone who you publicly attacked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PMJ 55 Posted March 19, 2015 Good Morning …and Thank you for the little chuckle. I have got to learn to be computer literate…I missed the whole debacle between FB and BP. Yes, it is a very stressful time but thats the beauty/saving grace of all this. No one here regardless of their comments …edgy or soft wishes anyone ill. That I feel to be true. Why waist energy on having hurt feeling when... whether you like it or not we are the "BARIATRIC PALS!" Plus if I am to get upset I will never get….. 64OZ of FRIGG'IN Water DOWN…is this every day for the rest of my life ? Or just the first few months. Now this is some thing to get emotional about. Good Morning... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
