Why do I do it to myself?

She didn't ask for suggestions on the board until she had that bad episode of PBing. No mention of Constipation until she had that. And she was apparently thought it was severe enough to ask for help on the board, since she'd already tried MOM unsuccessfully. She said she had pressure on her diaphagm and some sort of other pain she had had previously when constipated, and because of that, thought it was constipation. Again, this occured after her severe PB. Even Dr. C recommended that she go in for an unfill immediately. If she had, her erosion may have been caught sooner. And while she may not take other opinions over her doc's, she took your opinion over Dr. C's. She even posted that she felt well enough to avoid going to the doctor, afterwards.

Normal constipation is one thing. Sudden constipation after having a severe episode of PBing is another.

I'm not saying that you caused her to lose her band. We all know that it was unavoidable at the time. But when a medical situation might be related to a potentially severe band complication, "talk to your doctor" should always be the first advice given.

It's not exactly a leap to think that the two may have been connected, that she really wasn't truly constipated at all, just experiencing similar symptoms. Again, she was already eroded at the time. Nothing you could have done or said could have saved her band. But if she'd gone to see her doctor or surgeon instead of asking for and taking online advice, she may not have gotten as sick as she did.

Again, and for the last time (I'm done with this conversation), my suggestion came BEFORE she came to the board asking for help.

Wow, it is a mess in here! Bits of popcorn everywhere! An empty MOM bottle ! Oooops, what is this, A POM POM! Damn, how did this get in here? Anyone know?

POM POM! HA!!! I was LOL in real time over that one. When you watch who is reading but not posting that makes the comment even funnier.

I'm sure it was. :guess

Look, it isn't that I really dislike you. I just don't trust you. One minute, you're making nasty posts and stirring up trouble on OH about Wendell, and the next you're PMing and emailing people to try to get a look at his blog. I don't trust people who try to play both sides of the field and hope people don't notice. We do.

Now, THAT'S funny! Thanks for the chuckle...

Now, what was it you said in it? Oh, that's right, "I would be interested in seeing your blog about the nurse scandal. I don't want to reveal my reasons at this time." Isn't that right, Njbowman? Oh, wait, I mean Nancy.

Oh, that's so scary! I didn't realize how mean I sounded until I saw it in print! LOL! You got me!

Wendell said that if anyone wanted to see his blog, he would send it to them...did he not??? Wasn't that the whole reason for posting it, so people would see it?

Read my post again, Nancy. I never said you bashed him in emails. I said you are always bashing Wendell on OH. And you are. And what's "I don't want to reveal my reasons at this time" supposed to mean, if not that you were having your own doubts about SandyR? Sounds a hell of a lot like trying to cozy up to Wendell and play both sides of the field. You're nice to people when it suits you, but when they aren't looking, you'll drag them through the mud.

That sounds like cozying up to you? Interesting. He said "e-mail me if you want the info". So I did. I'm not going to answer what I meant by "my own reasons". It's none of your business.

I'm nice to nice people, and not so nice to people who aren't. Pretty simple.

Really?

So....

What do you think of Sondra Tabor?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
