Ditto!!! When you are looking for support you have to take all aspects of the
conversation with it. I agree completely. I love this site and if there is
something that is not relevant to me I just skip it.
Ladies, please!!! I saw Carnie on television here in NY in a concert at Bryant
Park and she looked lovely!!! Not overweight. I'm sure she is doing just fine.

WILSON WHO HAS HAD THIS SAME SURGERY AND THAT IS RELEVANT TO THIS WEB SITE. IF
YOU DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHAT WE MIGHT HAVE TO FACE IN THE FUTURE WITH THIS
SURGERY THEN YOU ARE ON THE WRONG SITE!! Let's don't start this again.
I feel that lately there has been more arguments and petty
discussion. I feel that talking about family, friends, celebs, and
others who have had this is healthy. We need to all understand the
plateaus, discrimination, backtalk and whatnot that we may receive.
I come to this site for support, not someone constantly knocking
down this site and our support group. It pains me that some of us
have important posts and others are just wasting time complaining.
Once again, if you don't like this site, have problems with the
people or even topics, then LEAVE. Keep the messages important,
relevant, and interesting. We are all hear to support each other and
whatnot. This is getting ridiculous and I wanted to share my
thoughts on the posts for the last week. I love you all and hope
that everyone is doing well.

I NOT SURE WHO YOU ALL ARE DISCUSSING, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE SHE NEEDS SOME
ENCOURAGEMENT AND PRAYER. I ENJOY THIS SITE BECAUSE IT IS INFORMATIVE
AND HELPFUL TO ME,CAN YOU ALL FIND SOMETHING MORE BENEFITICIAL TO
DISCUSS
I did hear this. My friend said she saw her on TV and she looked heavy
again. Anyone have verification?

I definately did NOT feel hungry after my surgery, in fact its been
months since then and I only occasionally feel hungry. What I
believe you have is what they call 'head hunger'. Our minds are
conditioned to want food (part of the reason we got this way in the
first place). I know its hard but try to have patience and I bet
once you see the pounds start coming off you will be soooo happy! I
would recommend that you have you family not eat around you right now
until you adjust. It may be the smells of the food that are getting
to you or the feeling of missing out. Also, this surgery is not
anything to take lightly. If you do not feel well you might want to
put a call into your doctor or nutrionists office and just check with
someone. That's what their there for. Keep us posted and hang in
there!

Staci,
Good luck to you on your surgery. Please keep us posted. If insurance falls
through I might be going the same route that you are and would like to know how
you are treated and if you are happy with the hospital, etc.
Thanks,
Dora
