Well then honey you must not have read to many posts on OH. There are numerous posts on the different boards that ask things like " I'm three weeks out, but have not restriction and the cookies go down with no problem did I stretch my pouch"? Or "I'm six months out, but only lost 30lbs and can eat anything what is wrong"?
And when you try and explain things to these people they get their panties all bunched up because we don't pat them on the back and say "oh it's OK don't worry everything will be fine".
This is Obesity Help not rainbows and unicorn farts help.
I'm fairly new myself to this site and I have seen good and bad. Mostly good in my opinion. I know a lot of people say "talk to your doctor or ask your doctor" but I think it is also valid in a lot of cases because they are not medical people. In most cases they and are concerned for your safety and health. I'm sure for some people that are post-op that certain comments raise red flags for them based on personal experiences, so they are telling you to contact the doctor because they are genuinely concerned based on personal experiences where they may have had to contact the doctor. I know it may seem like a lame response sometimes but please keep in mind they are just trying to help and support you :-) I hope you continue to come to OH and take the good with the bad learning to just ignore the bad. :-) I must say that I am quite shocked by some of the comments I have read here today. It makes me sad that when peoples opinions are disagreed with they respond with unkindness and insults instead of just letting it go.

OH seems fine to me.
But if you aren't enjoying your time here, you should join a different WLS forum. There are others out there.
Best to you.
For all u that are getting offended I suggest u read the post again. They question was how do u feel about OH. As I said b4 I've had good n bad experience here, like u guys are advising I suggest u take ur own advice if u don't like what I say then move to the next forum. Like really. I wanted to know if there were more ppl liking OH or not.
"THE" question was.......?

Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.
I like OH it has been very helpful and entertaining 
I'm Still Loving, Still Praying and Still Dreaming....
Sweetie the responses weren't for me I see all the time. Guess some ppl don't know how to stick to the question. Lol.
