Surgeon Testimonial

Larry Hobson
Dr. Hobson is The Man! He was somewhat quiet, but a quick talker. He was kind of laid-back too. Confident and caring. My liver was big but he completed my surgery with no complications. I appreciate his bedside manner.rnrnrnrnrnrn

Fat, the final frontier (warning soap box post)
on April 6, 2010 8:17 pm

I'm a big woman. I've struggled with my weight all my life. Even when I was smaller, all I could see was my fat. Fat isn't a word I have problems with saying in describing myself either. I'm not a big person who'd cry because someone would call me fat either. In fact, if I were crying about that, it's because the person who was trying to cut or embarass me was about to get my fist shoved down her/his throat and a few teeth knocked out, because they've made me very, very angry. LOL

Sensitive? Eh, maybe. Or maybe I'm just fed up with ignorant people feeling free to criticize others for being big. It never ceases to amaze me how "people" feel free to tell a fat person that he/she is fat. News flash dummy, we knows we is fat. LMFAO! And who in Hades asked ya?

"I'm only saying something because I'm concerned about your health." Translation: I may feel bad about myself, and I want you to feel bad about yourself too. Another news flash: not every fat person is sick, and not every thin person is healthy. AND if we are sick, 7 out of 10 times, we knows dat too. Again, LMFAO!

What's got me riled? Reading too many dumb a-- (excuse me my Christian brothers/sisters, but Ima keeps it real. Offended? Please move on) comments about Gabby Sidibe. Mainly, Howard Stern's comments. I know, I know I should ignore him because he says things for provocation, but---the comments struck a nerve. Gabby Sidibe is a very talented actress, but all he cared to see and comment on was her size. He's not the only one either. Others have said critical and hateful things about her too. It just ticks me off, because people feel the freedom to verbally attack her like that. Yeah, yeah I get freedom of speech yada..yada..yada.. I said this is a soap box post, right? Haha

I'm not posting because I need people in my amen corner or need to have my self-confidence boosted. I just wanted to say WTH Howard Stern?? How about you get that moppy head, snaggle-tooth, big nosed horse face of yours fixed before you comment on somebody's fatness. Yeah, I know I'm a hypocrit to criticize his looks, but I couldn't resist, yo. I did say this was a soap box post. Climbing down now...

Anyways, opinions are like buttholes, nearly everyone has one. Just sharing my booty with you. LMBO!
