The nerve of some people

So there is a new show on TLC called Big Medicine. I went to the web site and joined the forum. Here's a response I got from my post--please tell me what you think... -----------------------------------My Post-------------------------------------- heylookitsangie Junior Member Registered: 05-22-07 Posted 05-22-07 12:26 AM I am sooooooo excitied about this show---I have everyone I know ready to watch it. I am in the process of having Gastric Bypass Surgery. I live in Missouri and there are not any doctors or hospitals here that will preform surgery on a person over 450. So I am going to another state to have mine. I can so relate to the commercials when I see them. It feels good to know that there are other people out there walking in my shoes. If anyone would like to contact me for any reason please feel free my email is [email protected] I wish you all good luck with your trials and much success in your endevors. Always, ~Angie! --------------From a woman named Jean on the TLC forum------------ jmrgrant Junior Member Registered: 05-16-07 Posted 05-22-07 11:13 PM Hi There, I have fought with weight loss all of my 40 God given years. I have learned to eat right, excercise and not believe the fat lies. I have a strong sense of self esteem and a God who loves me. Why fix what the Maker has already perfected. Sorry..I will no longer to subscribe to TLC or post again at this sight. May God Bless You Jean ---------------------------------My Response---------------------------------- Jean, I don't see how you can judge me---you don't know me or my situation or my needs or my pain or my trials or my life. Maybe WLS wasn't for you -- be thankful that you don't need it---be thankful that you have a tool that you can use to help you lose weight---may it be the Lord or some exercise that works for you---whatever it is you have found a tool. I am 32 years old and have been over weight since I was 2---2---I have been on every kind of diet or program you or I could ever imagine. My tool is WLS---and I will go through all the pain and hard work it takes for me to get there. This whole weight things goes so much deeper than the weight---it's emotional---it's physical---it's my life---not only am I going to gain the strength to walk and run I am also gaining the strength to walk into a store or in a park without having people look at me and say she needs to go on a diet. It's not that easy for me---and many other people in this world and frankly I don't give a damn if YOU think it's not right---because I do and God does or he wouldn't have made it possible for me to do this. Thanks for your oponion but I don't need it. Always, ~Angie! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- needless to say---she pissed me off---grrrrrrrr I wanted to growl at her and cuss her but I decided against it. What do you think?

Dear Angie- I wish that we could meet this ignorant lady face to face-maybe she IS full of self esteem and doesnt mess with the perfect body she feels like her maker gave her-but OUR GOD also gave us bariatric surgeons-and gave us the choice of that tool-and its ignorant people like her that speak from their ass's that make our choice look bad-I dont know about you-but I have already spent darn near 40 years struggling-why in the hell would I want to spend the next 40?  Im glad her ignorance isnt going to post on TLC anymore-she should probably find somewhere else to post-like hypocrits are us or you might be a dumba$$ if.....I love how people like her will throw around their maker (religion, if you will) and then feel good about herself at poking at someone else? WOW-who the hell does she think she is to judge ANY ONE-isnt that for our maker? And-usually people who speak like that to us-are not only ignorant, but too afraid to take our steps for whatever reason-maybe she cant get approved or whatever-but she is getting her justification trying to make you feel bad-let it roll off your back-you cannot change ignorance-you can just make sure you dont ever do that to someone else~  Good for you for not letting her totally get to you-because I am telling you-that woman doesnt sound like she is TRULY happy-and I now know what that is-and you will soon too, Angie-Take care and good luck...Love, Janet

Angie,  I totally agree with you.   How dare someone that doesn't know you or your situation judge you.  People like that are ignorant to the rest of the world.  Just blow it off and keep presuing what you know is right for you.   Hugs,  Layla

I hope and pray she finds the kind loving God that I have and  A God fearing doctor that I had, if she ever has to have this surgery.    God works in many ways and I know He had a hand in my surgery. she can not worship the one and only God and have these feeling....we must pray for her and people like her.........vesta

Angie, I too watched the show and was very excited about it.  This lady that posted she know's nothing if she was up on her religion she would know that God sends us help through other people such as surgeons,  he has given them the knowledge and expertise to help fix the things that do go wrong with us.  She is ignorant to the fact that Obesity is not something that can magically be fixed over night and she doesn't know that the WLS is a tool not a "cure all".  I wouldn't let her get to you because she and her beliefs aren't worth it.  I believe in God with all my heart and I believe that my WLS that I'm hoping to have will help me lead a more meaningful and happy life and with the help of my WLS I will be able to do more for the glory of my GOD!!!! Take care and good luck on your journey.
