Topic: RE: this could happen to you
Not concerned in finding the perfect someone..it will happen when it happens. I want a life back..without waiting for surgery or doing recovery from surgery for the last two summers I have spent the time watching from the sidelines just as I did when I was that gat girl..this sucks.
but I am looking at this side if the road...i have learned more ways to call a hernia everythign but a hernia how to wipe my tush with out bending how to listen to the tummy and laugh at the noises and how to clear a room with gas and look totally innocent

Hi, Patti,
I'm so sorry to hear about this. I think after all is said and done, you'll be the new bionic woman. I envy how you keep a good attitude about it all and are there to help the newbies.
Also, are you going to the group Tuesday night? I have a bag of clothes for the clothing swap but will be unable to attend. I'll be glad to donate it for the cause.

Topic: RE: WHAT HAPPENED
I had 12 compplications and I beleive in telling peole not to wear rosy colored glasses cause even with the best of surgeons complications do happen.
I go to support group meetings. If you speak of complications you are hushed...or asked not to scare the newbies..uh hello a support group is to let people know about life after surgery.
Any who...with support from a group or from a few folks it helps alot. I thank GOD for those that were there for me...from lap banders to eny sleevers and dsers...each surgery when it comes down to it is a tool we can use it right or abuse it..its all up to us.
Just do me a big big facor when you go and get a donut..would ya please get a lemon filled one and eat for me...PLEASE.. I even dump just thinking about eating one..
hugs to ya

Deb, I feel that too..when you go to a surgeons support group its more about the pore ops and who cars about the post ops unless its a free form of advertising..which sucks..and if you bering up complications you are hushed...
I didnt see the facebook links or tweeter till I read this post...
My comment was not directed tolds you..
U have always been there for others.
There are some who were 24 7 on here and then poof they never come back on...2 who were there for me are never on here....i even checked their profile page and they havent updated anything for that time either...
Btw are you coming to the fashion show on the 19th?

Topic: RE: Not a FAILURE, but it has been a tough 1 year
Rita-your year was unimaginably tough. I know you will get a handle on what you need to do. It's a wonderful feeling to need to lose 24 pounds vs 240? When I gain a bit, I'm amazed at how little I need to lose to get back to where I want to be-and I think to myself "this is what normal people must go through".
Isn't it great to be "normal"

Yes-the forum is quiet. I don't really care for the facebook links and I won't be around much anymore for that reason.
I don't really like the tone that says those of us who are not around have forgotten where we came from, etc. I know exactly where I came from and I continue to offer support to people I know who need it. I don't need a scorecard or someone making me feel guilty because I don't come here as much any more.
I do think that a meeting not affiliated with a surgeon's office is a good idea. I've been to several meetings where I felt I was more an "example" to bring in more patients than attending for any support for myself.
