disappointed...

Oct 14, 2009

i'm disapointed because of how wanky this site can be.  people are really mean to each other.  granted, i've probably posted comments that weren't posted with the utmost sensitivity but people calling each other ugly and referring to others as "train wrecks" is NOT the goal of a support site.  i post my experiences based on what has happened to me.  while i do not claim to be an expert in the field of bariatric medicine, i DO trust that my surgeon knows what he's talking about and if he gives me a plan of action i am going to follow it.  and i am going to be honest and report on it.  if that makes me an ignorant train wreck idiot, well, then i guess i am.  i'm going to listen to someone with an advanced medical degree and a history of performing surgery before i'm going to listen to someone without.  i'm going to look up numbers and read and calculate rather than simply listen to a website rumor mill.  and i'm going to follow my own body. 

i look to the site for support and to try to support others but cutting each other down is NOT the way to go.  i imagine we ALL work hard to get to a reasonable weight and treating each other like crap is NOT supportive.  at all.
