VSGAnn2014 12,992 Posted May 17, 2016 What are we even giving this person the time of day? Probably because it's hard to endure 50-60 drug-addled posts in 24 hours from someone who "was fat for only 4 years." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krazy kat 107 Posted May 17, 2016 I haven't had my RYN yet but from reading all this....I'm going to follow my doctor's orders 110 percent throughout my whole journey. I so need this life change and can't sabatoge myself like I have done in the past. Everyone is different I guess...

KristenLe 5,979 Posted May 17, 2016 @@Ele marie How long you have been fat has nothing to do with not passing a psych evaluation. I believe lying about your mental health history, eating disorder issues (admittedly starving yourself in the past), etc. are more concerning. You were not cleared by your own psychiatrist/psychologist because they thought it was a "conflict of interest". That is a huge red flag to me - and should have been to the person who did your psych eval (if they knew about it). It is dangerous to come onto these forums and spout information as though you are knowledgeable. In my non-professional opinion - it seems to be you have an eating disorder and since your surgeon is the same one you indicated wanted to make you a poster-child for eating nothing but Soup pre-op because you lost so much weight - I'm more apt to take the advice of someone who's been through WLS and have been successful by eating healthy and properly.

LipstickLady 25,682 Posted May 17, 2016 Yes I did use a straw drinking the icee and it was a large Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App You go girl. That's how you do it. Jess9395 Please do what ever you want to do. My doctor is who I will listen to him and my nutritionist. I was just telling the poster what I was told when I had surgery. I agree the article did not say anything about ulcers. But again that is what I was told by my doctor. I do not have heartburn either never have yet he told me to take the medication anyways to prevent ulcers. Maybe surgeon are different. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App Thank you. I think following our doctors is certainly the way to go. Otherwise, one could find themselves following the ramblings of some ill informed idiot on the internet. Oh....and the only thing that's given me heartburn since my sleeve surgery has been ignorance like I've read in this post. Oh dear lord.... I just snorted out loud. I might have peed a little, too.

Read2016 658 Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) I think people ask questions on here just to get a variety of feed back. For the short period of time I've been on here it seems most questions wind up turning into arguments between people. If some is doing something and it's work for them, excellent. Most people are working with a surgeon/NUT and are adults who can chose to follow that advice or not. Don't think anyone comes on here to be reprimanded.

jintycb 721 Posted May 17, 2016 I would like to imagine that anyone with a modicum of active brain cells would have either the wit or the wisdom to notice that this thread has plumbed the depths when it comes to the absolute tripe being spouted by what appears to be a troll who thinks it's clever to boast that she has fooled her way to surgery! What an introduction to any newcomer to this site who is looking for serious information and/or advice on bariatric surgery. Ignorant trolls (such as we have found on this thread-you know who you are) are dangerous, especially to people who are vulnerable due to real, not imagined, issues with their weight. People who have a legitimate reason for WLS surgery DO NOT need to read hearsay shite from some who who lies to medical professionals to get her own silly way. Rant over. Right, back to the humour from the sensible souls whose opinions and posts I shall continue to take seriously but who have the ability to make me HOWL with laughter. There are some really clever people posting on this site who luckily have great wit (humorous) with their wisdom (real and not picked up from some trashy web page).

jintycb 721 Posted May 17, 2016 Just checked out the rest of the posts from our 'knowledgeable' friend who has been starting various threads. Love to know what the rest of you think if you can take the time to take a look. It's a bit of a chore I know but have a look anyway and please, post your seriously considered opinions. I am more than ever convinced that we have a troll in our midst. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
