My first official R&R...Bandsters who dont know a damn thing about banding



Recommended Posts

I guess I'd refer you back to post #179, you know... the post you declined to respond.

Some people whine about others helping while the others dig in and help. Which side are you on?

Oh wait, I've read your posts. I know.

I'm on the side of crying in the fetal position. Wait. Is that the wrong side?

Seriously, I didn't see any response to me at all--I saw a sea (a sea) of private conversation that I just wasn't privy to and it went on and on--no matter how far back I clicked. So I just didn't see your post and I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to ignore you.

I've never, ever had 50 PMs at one time ever. And if I did I'd probably pretend I'd died or something. So I have no doubt you are incredibly supportive and informative to many people who enjoy conversing with you.

Carry on.

And yet ANOTHER ID of Christines proving me right once again. :eek:

Got it! They went through a whole lot of trouble just to make themselves look like an ass. :car:

Zitro, who is your doc so I know to steer clear? :)

Yeah, that post took a lot of deception and half truths to write. That one must have taken days worth of research.

One point was that I said "X" price was a good price. To look at the bits that were posted it was inferred I was referring to my own doc. That was a question about a US doc and I said it was a good price.

She's annoyed because I don't know what everyone in Mexico and the US charges? Including my own doc? I don't, my surgery was almost a year ago and prices have changed. But I'm a coordinator because I don't know all the prices of every doc.

Another is about a 14 year old that asked if her insurance would cover surgery. I responded by suggesting she talk to her parents, then research the band, then I responded to her actual question. To read Christine's version it looks like I was pushing a 14 year old into surgery.

Another was something I wrote about Ortiz. The bulk of the post was positive about Ortiz... his stats are great, his patients love him, etc. She forgot to include that part.

One time someone asked opinions on Ortiz, Rumbaut, and another. I wrote that my personal preference was Rumbaut and Ortiz. I didn't even mention the 3rd because he's not the greatest doc in Mexico. I didn't explain that, but that's what I wrote. Then I was accused of being a patient coordinator for the doc I did not suggest.

I could go through that post bit by bit and post the rest of the story but then I'm playing with trolls. Sheesh... I wish she would go back under her rock.

I'm tempted to write everything I know about her doctor.

I'm telling you, ever since I posted a thread on how to research doctors the coordintors are throwing bloody fits. Well, if they aren't doing anything wrong, why not use one of their other many IDs? The IDs they post on their doctor's thread using?

Of course--that comment was meant in good humor--I LIKED that movie! LOL I'd be the Mean Girl who gets walked all over and secretly feels sorry for all the victims. It's a curse, I can't help it.

And I'd wear lots of mascara.

By private I meant--all inside jokes and personal banter. After clicking past like 10 pages I figured the thread had been hijacked and the plane was going down.

Indeed.

In case of a plane crash, one must assume the brace position and pray that anyone comes out alive.

But they weren't inside jokes. Many of us have very publicly been bashed for actually getting off our asses, and working with our bands and losing the weight. That's all out there for the public to consume. Nothing private or inside 'bout that I am afraid.

      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.
