Thanks for coming back. I personally appreciate all of you and your opinions, suggestions and advice. I have been put in my place by a Vet, and once I got over the embarassment and took a long look at the comment, it was exactly what I needed and completely justified.
So thank you to you all, and THANK GOODNESS YOU ARE BACK!!!!

I'm glad you were able to take a look back and see the comment from a different perspective. Believe me some people on OH don't/can't reflect on information given & takes things way too personal., then go off to live in bubble world somewhere & lose a lot of information/support in the meantime.
No one surgery is better than the other, what works for one may not work for another.

The honest, sometimes seemingly brash comments are what separated this place from the other WLS sites that I joined...
I quickly realized that this was where I wanted to be... I think I got myself slapped once or twice (and might again one day! LOL), but I was able to see the good information and well meaning intent... and plus, I laughed...
I still love this place, and of course, I stand totally behind and support all of the vets that are here. I hope one day to still be posting when I'm considered a vet!

I feel like I missed some drama.
I didn't see any 'interesting posts' But then again I have been so busy and not really doing more than popping on the last bit I wouldn't have noticed people were gone (Honestly if someone doesn't post for a week I just think they are busy, ya know?) if people weren't talking about it.
