Please stay on the subject and not resort to personal attacks.  

You can utilize the block feature we have provided for our members and not interact and or respond to members. It's easy to get pulled into discussions we other wise would not engage. 

We appreciate your anticipated cooperation as an ObesityHelp member.   

Thank you,

I used the block feature 2 days ago when she was personally attacking me! It would have been nice for you to have intervened then!! Not when someone actually sticks up for me for BEING PERSONALLY ATTACKED! That would have been the right thing for you all to address!   Ridiculous!

Hey, Kid;  the mods only intervene when things get to meltdown.  Unfortunately, some folks don't play well with others.  Even the harsh comments can have some good info infiltrated into them, so just take what you need and let the rest of it go by.

Definitely go by a later post recommending an EDG while you're in the hospital.  May as well get it done while you're there!

Stay hydrated!!

I have to ask after looking at your numbers.  Would it be safe to assume you had other heath issues that allowed you to be qualified for surgery as your bmi would have been 36.6 day of surgery. 

You were a light weight to begin with and not having access to a surgeon for regular follow-ups is not a smart or safe thing to do.  This could have been all taken care of months ago with the right aftercare.  If your original surgeon is to far away then you need to contact your insurance and find one who is near by.  If you continue to let this go bad things can and will happen.
