Post op regrets topics - not popular

[Sleeve it to Beaver 187]

Agreed. This belongs on the hypochondriac and martyr board. I'm sure there are better words. But you get the idea.

Please use this as a complaint thread and forget you heard anything about the sleeve. The only thing you should be aware of here is that this is not a sleeve related thread.

Tries to understand how having a food addiction and having no issues with food can be congruent.... Oh wait they can't....

Gina I'm sorry you are frustrated, sick, sad, angry and all the rest...

But the first step is being honest with yourself. You have said a number of contradictory things about yourself and your journey. You are placing blame because you can't cope with the idea you played a role in your situation.

Your lashing out at others while understandable is not acceptable

You are absolutely right about a lot of your points and my continued discussion here is not at all for the benefit of the OP, but for the benefit of those who are reading, researching and deciding.

It became clear that the "lack of knowledge" complained about initially is easily discovered with a few clicks around the internet. The further damage/debacles that developed were not fully explained until further discussion was provoked. Without that further discussion, many reading could have easily come to the conclusion that this potentially life saving surgery does not come without MANY potential and **hidden** risks. Now that we know the backstory and the medical condition of the OP pre-op, it's quite apparent that her case is highly unlikely to repeat itself.

Exactly. Even though most of us just can't resist trying to point out reality to someone so clearly in denial (because we DO want them to have hope) it's also about people who are pre op like me finding some answers about this dreadful situation because we are looking for ALL the facts. I'm glad I found the pre op backstory so I know what caused these problems.

Maybe this will help people who are already seriously ill realize that the surgery won't fix everything.

Fabulous. You made 23 pages of internet hot mess worth it.

I truly hope this thread ends soon, it's so frustrating to read!

Let me make the point that I hinted at several pages back...

THIS ISN'T ABOUT WLS, it's about politics and what comes from BIG GOVERNMENT OVERREACH like Obamacare.

I lived in England and visited an NHS facility once. It was dirty and disgusting - I walked out.

Read what Gina said:

1. The government promised her a wonderful outcome - they lied.

2. The government promised to be there for her post opt - they lied.

3. We suggested she take legal action and Gina said "no, I fear retribution" from the government.

Folks, this is our future under Hillary Clinton. Trump is a lousy candidate, but he speaks the truth and will stop Gina's healthcare nightmare from happening here.

Vote to kill Obamacare - this is your last chance!

The NHS is not the UK government, and your experience of having been in a NHS facility once does not give you the experience of it that you would need to have a considered opinion. You have taken this thread out of context for your own political agenda and that is not cool.

...Trump is a lousy candidate, but he speaks the truth ...

I don't like EITHER candidate, but I can tell you with no inkling of doubt, if that man spoke "the truth" yesterday, he'll surely say he was simply "misunderstood" today. He can't keep his own story straight to save his life.

What a joke.

Oh please did you seriously just turn this thread into a support trump opportunity? Get a clue and stop using a Bariatric forum for your political agenda, it's so out of context not to mention it's not even close to being the right place for that post. You just made a nonsense thread into a political bs thread not even worthy of this forum anymore, Alex Brecher please shut this thread down.

[Crulezim 10]

I agree it's time to shut down this thread if we've now gotten into Hillary v. Trump. We get quite enough of that elsewhere. And the person who started this thread is not even in the U.S.

Can this thread be moved to Gastric Sleeve Surgery Complications Support Group ?

I think it belongs there.Thank you.

Yeah, you're all right. Let's just go back to blaming the sleeve for chronic diarrhea and C-Diff (whatever that is)...

[ella37 455]

Trump is going to help me with my surgery?

This has now become my favorite thread.

I'm self pay, thanks Obama.

Great! Thanks! NOW we are all in for a huge lesson on clostridium difficile colitis! Bet we get pics as well... Damn. I couldn't stop my mouth there. (Bows head and slowly backs out of the room...)
