toilet woes (not gross, i promise)

three sixty six · January 24, 2008

hey there. haven't been banded yet, so i'm at my heaviest right now.. anyone experience a toilet, erm.. sounding like it's cracking when you sit on it? i know this is a weird question.. but i'm at work and my regular loo that i use every day just started making this sound when i was on it ! it sounds like it's gonna come off the wall! is this possible? can i really make a toilet come off the wall? it's the industrial kind with nothing underneath, only attached to the wall.. what are the weight limits on those puppies?

sorry for the strange question, but now i'm afraid to pee!!!!!!

Don't want to scare you but I have heard of those things ripping off the walls before. When I worked for a doctor we had someone who was about 400 lbs break our hanging toilet. My suggestion...to be on the safe side use another stall.

Good luck on your banding journey.

I noticed at the bariatric clinic I go to, they have supports under all the toilets. Smart move . Maybe they had some break. What an embarassing situation if one broke while you were on it. I supose Water would squirt all over. I think you should use another or if you are really brave, maybe talk to the maintenence people about it.

That pot is going to break off the wall. I'd let someone know.

If not on you it will break on someone else and that's not good.

OMG! Someone other than ME says "Loo"???? Thats amazing!! People usually make fun of me when I say it!!

And yeah, don't ever use that Loo again!

I have broken a few toilet seats in my day... but yeah.

i talked to our HR person (the most un-fun convo i've had in years) and she was VERY sympathetic. she told me what other floors had "nice bathrooms" in our building to use until ours gets fixed. turns out they recently had that loo replaced. i feel better, but i'm still afraid to pee at work!!!!

:lol:Skinny guy in our office sat on the bowl in the Mens room and broke it. I am guessing it was already going in that direction and he was the lucky guy to do it.
