Yes, I think that is why many have stepped away from the board. Indeed it is very sad. I know there were many kind people here.  I just do not understand why people can't get along.

Hi Stephanie,

Yeah, it seems to me that there are just too many people that take things a little too far.  People need to stop and look in their address bar at the top of the screen and read what it says "http://www.obesityHELP.com!  Yes, I know I capitalized the HELP in it, but that was to just get my point across.  Hey, listen, I realize that not everybody is going to like and get along with everybody else.  But to air dirty laundry on an internet support board is a tad bit on the childish side.  I wish you nothing but the best.

Andy

Hey Julie,
Good to see you around.  Thanks for the compliment.  As you know, this journey will last the rest of our lives and obesity is something we will all fight until God comes to take us with Him.  Until then, all I can do is try to follow what I have learned as close to the vest as I can and try to help others along the way.  Sorry that things apparently have turned into Romper Room time around this place.  Not sure who some of the newer posters are on here, but it was people like Tia and Aaron and Cira and Nicole and Heather and countless others that kept it alive as one of the more active boards on all of Obesity Help.  It's extremely depressing to log on and come over to see posts that are 2-3 WEEKS old still on the first page.  I hope all is well with you and take good care.

Thank you Bernice for you wonderful post.  I am having my RNY surgery on 9 November.  I have had weight issues my whole life.  I don't know what normal is.  I am looking forward to finding out.  Congratulations on your successful journey.

Andy,

It's a shame that the people that meant so much to this board (Tia, Darla, Cira, Moe and others) have been run off of this board, without them you see what a dead place this has become.  I have to admit the "Drama" on these boards is why I have pretty much stayed a lurker.

Stephanie

Topic: RE: Where'd everybody go?
Andy, so glad to see you. You look great ! I am sure you must be happy. This board was a great place to come for support but for me personally I was talked about for no reason. I only have meet up with one person from the board. I have been accused of being bipolar and mentally ill. Wow it is amazing that we had an undercover psychiatrist on the board. I feel that before you talk negative or trash someone you should clean your own house first !  After all this board was for support. I am very sorry for the new people who come here for support. I do still hope there are some here that will be honest and help others. This weight loss thing is a tough battle and we all can use all the help we can get. I wish you well and hope you have nothing but success. I have learned one thing and that's what goes around comes around ! Take care and SMILE !
