Maybe I should stop reading the forum...this one made me mad.

Feb 25, 2012

Ok, admittedly, I read the OH forum to feel some normalcy with my current circumstances. Today I logged on to find someone wantting to gain wait so she would continue to qualify for WLS. Is it me or does this seem like a very stupid thing to post?? I know what I went through to lose weight before being approved, during the qualification stages and now post surgery. This girl is "going to have a McDonalds Milkshake everyday for a week" so make sure she still qualifies. To me this is a slap in the face. I worked my tail off to make sure that I didn't gain more than 5 lbs between the time I met the surgeon and surgery because I would be back with the dietician / Nurse, surgery postponed. This person wants to gain weight so she can still qualify...WLS is a last resort, period...it takes determination and respect for the process...if you can lose weight on your own, why would you want this invasive lifestyle change??? I really want to post this on the board, but I don't want people to think that I am a raving bitch. Thank you for listening...comments are welcome, maybe I just don't understand...
