Just to reiterate: this is not a "goodbye cruel forum" post. I'm not leaving, but I do want people to know why I haven't been posting as much lately.

Oh Bette.....A-FREAKIN-MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for so eloquently communicating the sentiment I feel every so often on this board. Usually my own internal "ignore" button works pretty well, but sometimes it's tough to block it out.

You can't go back and make a brand new start, but you can start from now and make a brand new end.

I'm with you 100% Bette. No one can say it like you can, either! I continue to come here for the newbies and the many, many friends that helped me throughout my journey, and yes, that includes you! It's amazing how the block button has relieved me of so much pain! I hate it when I see so many people fighting over this sugery or that surgery. Didn't we all, at one point, have to take the leap of faith, total crap shoot, or Ouji board prediction, over our own surgery choice? There is NO ONE FULL-PROOF solution! Call it luck, faith, whatever. We're all blessed to even have the opportunity to have a tool to help save us from ourselves!

And you know what else? I mostly hang out on the pregnancy and WLS forum these days, partly because it is generally pretty peaceful there. All different surgeries and not one ******g contest that I've ever seen. It's amazing what having something ELSE in your life can do for your priorities!
