I have a question please

I have been wondering about this.  Do people come here and have surgery and then just disappear?  I have been wondering how Mary is doing.  She had lap-band not too long ago.

I want people to keep coming back.  We have a great thing going here.  The information you can get here from "real people" who have life experience with this is so very valuable. 

I forgot to say in my earlier post that my BP was really good this morning too!

Ive been here for 5 years. there were WAY more people here then, but it was cliqish if you ask me. When i was a newbie i would post important questions that would never get answered on here. Then sometimes other people would post. There are a select few that have always been nice and they will pop in from time to time. I think alot of people DO have surgery and move on with their life and forget about the board, but i find it a great place for support. There is only a few people around these days. Kim, she's a huge inspiration to me so i check in daily. I like to see what she's eating to get new ideas sometimes. I think you will do great. Certain people will be around and certains wont. I think along with the cliques peoples feelings got hurt and so they just dont come back. I see alot of them on FB.

Hillary, forgive me if I "ever" made you feel that way.  I really do appologize. 

Kim I have been here for over 6 years, I did not find out about the board until after surgery.   Yes you are so right some do come here until they are approved and then quit coming.  The same way with the support groups, they attend until they lose the weight and then stop going and then when they have some weight gain they just can't understand why.
 
I used to post a lot more and still do from time to time.  The reason I quit posting and a lot I know was due to a non/op who was ugly to a lot of people.  Then we had another one  who hurt a lot of people and did some mean things.   Just to much drama for me back then and I went to facebook.   I have decided to come back and start posting more.   We all need support even those of us like me who is over 7 years out.  It is still a day to day struggle.  

I know I miss my support groups!!  Huntsville really needs one.  Lucy and I would certainly attend.  I DO know now, that I accused someone of doing something and they didn't do it.  I take their word for it.  I have to admit that some pictures were missing, but then I found them in another file "I" had created and forgotten untill I got an email saying they were going to delete my pics unless I log in and update.  I had to appologize.  Yes, people hurt, but we have to let things go and make amends.  I know God had me to do so.  Love ya my friend and I miss ya.

Randall,

There are a couple of support groups in Huntsville.
I can get you information on them if you are interested in checking them out. Just let me know if you want to do so!

Randy, how can you be so gullable?  You know she did it and even more to others.  How can you sit there and condone a seriouly ill psychopathalogical  liar? What on and how on earth could you believe anything that person says is true.  Don't you remember when your wife Joie was in the hospital and the things that you told me?    Don't you remember the things that were done to me and was even admitted by "said" person. I just don't get it Randy.  I believe is enough is enough in  forgiving and forgetting, but  that doesn' m ean we have to be friends with them.  Good grief, there was TONS of evidence. Paper trails everywhere and words coming from the horses mouth themselves.  I cannot imagine why you would ever trust this person again. Just sayin'

Love ya,

Elle

Just saying...........my pictures are back and where "I" put them.  I think in that time of phone calls and acusations, we were looking for someone to blame.  In all my sins, if Christ can forgive me, I can forgive any and All.  That is my choice.  To be Christ like.  Leave it to me.  Once bitten might leaad to twice shy, but I don't think so.  I think we were all just rambling and looking to blame because of someone's hatred and anger.  I hate that I got caught up in it.  We shall see.  I just want this to REST and be thrown out with the pot that is black and nasty over 5 years of filth.  Keep your anger and hatred.  Not me.  Chrsit like.  Forgiveness.  You don't have to have anything to do with them except forgive and stop the slander and accusations.  She is a good person at heart.  Just leave her alone.  Love ya.  Just sayin............Merry Christmas.  The time to love and forgive....and stop accusing.

Just sayin', M pictures were never found and she even told several people what she did with them.  People that I trust.  Godly people.  I have forgiven, but will never forget such a mean, dispicable, hateful, mean spirited person in my entired  life. This person has never had a Godly bone in her body to hurt people the way she has.  She can put on a nice aura and make people think anything she wants, but I know the truth from my own personal experiences with her.  I will NEVER trust anyone the same from that point to this very day or ever.  I don't HATE anyone, but people should be warned not to get involved too much with people they meet online.  BE VERY VERY careful.  The internet and people can be very deceiving.  I am NOT slandering ANYONE  and have mentioned NO ONE's name even, when ALL I am stating is the downright truth and sharing MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCES.  Like I said, I FORGAVE long ago, as God has forgiven US.  I just will NOT sit ideally by and let people tell lies about me to everyone and do the awful things that were done to me without warning others that it could happen to them as well.  I just want everyone to be CAUTIOUS in who they trust, is all I'm say'n, and OH!  Merry Christmas to you and yours as well, Randy.

Be blessed,

Elle

Randall as you put it this pot stirrer that is old with mold and maggots was not stirring the pot.  If you will go back and read I was stating facts that I know.   As far as you and your pictures I have no idea of what you are talking about but I am aware of a lot more that you have said and accused but I will not go there.    Now getting back to my facts,  when they call you on the phone several, several times and brag and laugh about what they have done to some one that is not accusing.  Those are facts they told me out their own mouth.  You can apologize till the cows come home but I never will as I was not the one doing anything.  The only thing I am guilty of was being a friend and getting caught in their web of  lies and deceit.   And yes I have forgiven them a long time ago as I realized they were mentally sick.  Making amends is out of the question as all I have done is state the facts and what was told to me and that is not heresay.   You have accused me of things also that I was not guilty of or doing.  But that is okay I put it in the past and will not go there.  I just realized the source.  You do what you have to do and I will do what I feel is the right thing for me.  I have prayed about and I do believe that the Lord is speaking to spread the truth when asked.  I grew up  and was raised in the COG and still hold their teaching close to my heart.   Miss you also.  All I am going to say today.  Have a good day.
