Question:
why!! do people have to be so rude and negative
Would you all please be kind as I am trying to be supporative to others ' I had made a statement about my health and the amazement at the improvement ,and so many people have made positive comments, and then I get a rude comment on my statement. I have had a bad year, 3 hospitol stays for dehydration, and to restreach my stomach ,and I have been sick and throwing up for 12 months. I am happy at my new life and I would do it again , My aunt even died during rny surgery this year please be more supporative and not say anything if its not good as people need support Please read the answers to my previous statement . (statement of amazement please read ) and see for yourself thanks Cindy — toyotawife (posted on October 18, 2008)

Cindy Hi I did not get to read your question or the reply, sorry. I want to
say that I am sorry if someone has over stepped and was rude or not kind.
We all have feelings, different things going on in our lives. I think it
doesn't matter how far we are from our surgery we have all had emotions
that are over whelming at one point or another in our journey. At times
people do not think before they speak. Please continue to share to ask
questions and to anyone else who may have read what was said please do not
let this stop you from asking questions, no question is dumb and anything
you want to share please do so. I enjoy this website and we all need to be
here for each other. Bless you Cindy and thank you for being able to stand
up and say something. Tammi Sandoval RNY July 16,08

Cindy,
I have not been able to find your previous statement so I couldn't find the
rude response you are referring to.
I am thrilled that you have been through so much adversity and have come
such a long way with a positive attitude.
Please try to ignore those who have nothing better than to be rude and
focus on the positive.
Keep up the good work,
Dawn Vickers, RN, BLC, CLC

Note: I found Cindy's previous post, "statement of amazement" by
clicking on "Expand List of Questions."
Anyway...... Hey there Cindy, I saw the rude post you were referring to, it
was left by "Dawn Marcia Wilson" whom, apparently, must be
menstruating, or perhaps forgot to take her "medication"
today....... Anyway, I, and everyone else here are sorry you were subjected
to such rude, and judgmental comments, when all you were trying to do was
express JOY at your new life and new health. I know just how you feel, my
life has changed in a lot of positive ways since I had my surgery. Best
wishes and keep in touch here at OH.com!

I see this rude person's profile is private. Did you all see this? I think
that is very rude of this person and they should be ashamed of themselves.
Frankly, I am very shocked at this comment. This is supposed to be a board
where we help each other with WLS questions, not critiquing others on there
English. I am going to critique this person by saying please go and learn
some manners!!!! Sorry Cindy for this person's rude comment to you. How
shameful!!

Cindy, I am so sorry that people have offended you. It sounds like you are
having a terrible time of it. I, like you, love this site. If it weren't
for people on this site I would have not idea what was going on with my
body as my nut is basically worthless. I have had a few negative comments
myself but refuse to let them get to me. I am only 8 weeks out but love
the changes in how I feel most of the time. Hang in there and keep your
chin up.

cindy ignore that rude comment. She is obviously having a hard time
following the rules of this site herself. and perhaps she should take her
own advice and check what the rules are for OH keep up the good work.

Cindy, There are so many members on this site who are kind and supportive.
Take in all of the positive comments you get and lean on them for your
support. You can email me anytime if you need support. I am having
surgery on the 23rd, so if I don't email right away, you will know why.
Take care and hang in there. God Bless

Hi there,
I too have not read the responses that you received from your first post,
but I would like to. What was the date that you posted the first time. I
also wanted to apologize for anyone's negativity as well. I have noticed
that while most people on this board are very supportive and comforting
people (without them I would have never had my surgery) but there are some
that cant seem to find the positive in anything. I did read your first post
just not the responses and would like to say congrats on your weight loss
and your accomplishments. It's a great feeling isn't it? Good for you and I
am so happy for you!!
God Bless!

Hi, Cindy - I went back & read your statement of amazement, and the
responses, and wow!! I started to read it when it was first posted but it
was kind of hard to read w/o any punctuation - but one thing came through
loud and clear: you're extremely excited about your new healthy life and
wanted to share! I'm still pre-op but looking forward to having the rny,
and lately I've been kind of depressed that it seems to be taking forever
to get stuff done before I can even get scheduled. But reading your post
reminded me of the reasons I wanted to have the surgery in the first place
- to be healthier & to not feel like a burden or an embarrassment to my
family. So thank YOU - betcha didn't even know that your post might be
supportive to someone else, in addition to sharing your own joy. And hey,
what the heck, one negative post - don't sweat it. Maybe she was having a
bad day. I'm very sorry for the loss of your aunt, though. I hope things
are going better for you now, and congrats on the new happier, healthier
you:-)
