I stopped coming on here a year ago cause so many people were mean to each other. Now I start coming back on here to check in on everybody an people are still being rude an mean to each other!! What is up with that??? I think its just our DS board that has this problem. Skinny meanies!!!! I think it's cause a lot of us are shooting in the dark getting DS surgery. Meaning it's not well known WLS an we kinda learn every thing on our own. We need to stick together. Be happy an lets get along already. I always find it interesting that what one person find offensive another finds not offensive. I read the same stuff as others and rarely find it offensive. That tells me that it's not the content that is the problem. Rather it's the reader's interpretation that is at issue.
As if often said on this board: "Take what you need and leave the rest".
This forum soooooo needs a "LIKE" button.....Frankly, I'm a combination of both attitudes I see on this board. I'm a "mama" type....a protector and all that mushy stuff. But I'm also a hell raising redneck when the case warrants. Maybe it's the bipolar in me...who knows. It IS a public forum, and the point being made is NOT going over any ones head, I don't think (I could be the exception sometimes), but what someone takes as being "mean", other's may take as constructive criticism. Some of us NEED that bluntness. I'd much rather have someone tell me the truth about something, no holds barred, than to have someone beat around the bush in order to spare my feelings.
IMO, this is LIFE THREATENING SURGERY. I'm scared as hell of it. so when it comes right down to the brass balls of it, don't powder my ass and pinch my cheeks---pop me upside the head with a big ol' pot of freakin' reality. I don't have to LIKE someone, in order for them to give me the right advice.
