I'm Fairly new to this site n I have gotten good advice n appreciate it, but there are times that I feel y bother asking a question when there r ppl who r rude or just tell u to ask ur doc. Like wtf r u serious I know I can ask my doc or nut but they haven't had surgery. The reason I joined this site is to hear from ppl who have been thru WLS journey.  I just feel like y bother to comment if all u gonna say is ask ur doc.

Look, I'm sorry if you've had bad experiences here when you ask quesions.  I try to be supportive and so do most of us who've been here a while.

Generally, if we (some of the longer term postops) say to ask your doc, it's because your question is raising alarm bells for us and we're concerned that you may need medical advice.  None of us are doctors - that I know of  anyway - and we have seen and heard enough here to know that only your doc or surgeon is qualified to give you a correct answer. 

We don't want you taking medical advice from a bunch of strangers on an internet group and then having negative medical consequences.  And believe me, it has happened.

Take care.  I hope you hang around long enough to give OH a shot.  It's a great place to land regardless of where you're at on your journey.

As I said previously I had good n bad experience.  And if it doesn't apply let it fly.  Obviously I will not ask a medical question of anyone here I am grown enough to know that.  I wasn't just talking about my posts I've read post of other ppl asking questions n they get that response I see all the time.  Once again if u don't have anything to say don't say nothing at all. That's my opinion n whoever don't like it it's to bad. I'm sure we come to this site for support n to learn about others experiences. I'm not here to judge no one.

"That's my opinion n whoever don't like it it's to bad." Well guess what, that is their opinion when they share it. See how that works in this land of freedom. Also what is considered nice can be very subjective. A million people may consider it nice but one person ie maybe you may consider it mean. So should we all run it by you before we post it? This is a public forum and has ran the same way since its inception. Since you had nothing nice to say why did you post this?

And yet you're doing the very thing you're condemning others for doing---you're giving your opinion, and judging others. Remember, " if u don't have anything to say don't say nothing at all. That's my opinion n whoever don't like it it's to bad."
