Getting bariatric surgery in March!

by marmot in

after being on a waiting list for three and a half years i've finally reached the light at the end of the tunnel and am going under the knife for a gastric sleeve operation in march.

i can't tell you how pumped i am because i'll finally be able to re-take my life after being severely overweight for several years.

i gained a ton of weight after being put on meds for bipolar disorder and it made exercising a painful chore.

I am so happy for you. I think the sleeve is safer . Are you in USA? I also wondered about the waiting time. I have heard you have to have been on diets unsuccessfully -ones supervised by your doctor . The dumping syndrome is real, I had my Gall Bladder out and had this happen. The doc said he had not seen that very often but it can happen.

I saw this on TLC, http://www.tlc.com/search.htm?terms=Mayra+Rosales.

It was very hard to watch but Mayra is a wonderful person. I follow her on face book. Her life has been completely changed. It first aired on TLC and then I looked it up. What an amazing person she is .

Are Men's Rights Laughable?

reading over the woody allen thread i noticed a couple things but didn't want to side track the "discussion".

1) woody allen is creepy.

2) nobody really seemed to care that his ex-wife was abusive towards her children.. an example i think is perfect was the release of twilight where you would see lineups of 30-40 year old women making very inappropriate comments about a 16 year old boy.

It has been a mans world for so long and women have had to put up with horrible things. Things men would never put up with. So for now the tables are turned . i am sorry about a young man whose life was ruined by a rape charge but when I think of all the women who have their lives ruined by men who raped children and teens and women . These women and children were seldom believed and THEY paid the price and it ruined their lives.

cry babies.

have you ever been accused of something you did not do?

if that happens, what do you do?.

Cry, baby, cry
Cry, cry to heaven
Say a prayer and light a candle
Toll a bell

Cry, baby, cry
Cry, cry to heaven
If that doesn't do it for you
Go ahead, and cry like hell...

Cry, baby, cry

Storm the castle, stem the tide
Rise above yourself

Cry, cry to heaven
If that doesn't do it for you
Go ahead, and cry like
Go ahead, and cry like
Go ahead, and cry like hell...

Nothing More To Say

i really have nothing much more to say, except to say thank you to all the people who have contributed to me in my threads and all the people whom i battled over the years.

the battles have been most entertaining and enlightening.

i've learned a great deal from them, and i've laughed a great deal from the idiotic attempts of fools to make a coherent argument (think "dubs").. it's been a roller-coaster ride for me over a decade and it has consumed a huge amount of my time.

btt, worth reading again.

other forums

i look at three forums pretty much every day, this one, a knitting/crochet forum and a weight-loss forum.

the weight-loss site has loads of useful apps, but the forum consists of posts by people who are mostly pretty young, self-absorbed and ill-informed except on a narrow range of information, mainly weight-lifting, working out, and starving themselves.. the folks on the knitting/crochet forum are extremely polite, politically correct, and obey rules very carefully.

other than that, there are some seriously creative people with amazing artistic talent that expresses itself in fiber arts.

I also enjoy several other forums, hystersisters being one of them. On the surface it is a forum for women who have had hysterectomy's' but there is so much more. It is a real support forum for women in all stages of their lives and offers support for more than menopause. It is a very good group and is well moderated.
