Frustr8 7,886 Posted October 11, 2018 I actually had someone post me to ask which surgery was the least painful. All I have had is an RnY, so no basis of comparison. My guess is that it varies. There are some hardy souls--- they are off to the mall as soon as they are discharged. And at the other end are soul,s like me somewhat still dragging. But not really complaining, I knew at 72 it would not be a walk in the park, but i will still make it, I just am not going to set any land speed records.🐢 1 Wanda247 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iattcom 96 Posted October 14, 2018 I have just read all 12 pages of this discussion and I must say it was quite entertaining. I can understand everything that everyone was saying and why everyone was saying it. First, when you reach out with what you think is a real question that has been asked a thousand times before and all you have to do is a simple search of the archives to see if it was asked before, it can be frustrating for the person giving the answers. If the question is better asked of the doctor’s office don’t be surprised if that’s who you are told to call. 1 Orchids&Dragons reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Orchids&Dragons 9,047 Posted October 14, 2018 I just realized when re-reading the thread that one of my posts was removed. It was the one where I told you guys you needed to stop posting because I was laughing out loud at work. I have no idea what I may have said that was offensive. So, if anyone knows, I'd appreciate knowing where I stepped over a line. 3 clsumrall, MargoCL and ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FluffyChix 17,415 Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) People who pound their agenda and perspective in our faces with a sledgehammer as if we are perfectly ignorant and uneducated and act as though we really "need" someone to be our conservators--as if their way is the ONLY way to truth. Also people who either deliberately or in abject ignorance of the facts, edit the truth to fit their narrow view and misrepresent any opposing viewpoint. And also those same people who are incapable of seeing they have any responsibility for how people perceive/react/treat them and accuse others of starting sh*t while they are innocent victims (a lamb to the slaughter). That is all...wow! I feel more better, now! TY!!! HowYOUdoin?

J San 1,071 Posted October 20, 2018 Quoting the LONGEST post, one you have to scroll forever to get to the end of it, then replying "Congrats" or "Good Job". Like the original one wasn't long enough. And it's never just one person, at least 4 or more people do it in one thread. 2 1 3 FluffyChix, GreenTealael, Orchids&Dragons and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
