Unfortunately, we've had too many here. Complications, not usually due to them at ALL, people who make extremely poor choices, deaths... it's very sad really. I've lost some people here that I had genuine friendhships with.

Karen, I don't know what I would've done without your insight, advice, support and totally awesome sense of humour all this time... you are a huge part of this forum, and I am so glad that the MAJORITY of people on this forum know how great you really are. Having a vet with so much experience and knowledge, who still comes back to the site to shed light on all things WLS for the newcomers...simply for the sake of helping others....well that makes you one of the rarest Gems out there. For the sake of saying so, THANK YOU SO MUCH for all of the advice & support you share with some many of us...

Karen if someone has blocked you than it is there lost and they are not worth the time. They are losing out. I am finding that there is just to many people lately who just don't want to hear the truth.
By the way if I can get a ride out to the lunch I will come. i probably won't eat but like to come. Things are not better here.

OH what a mature group we are, we can decide to have life changing surgery, walk the walk, talk the tal****il we suffer "head hunger", no one here knows what I mean I am unique I am the only person who has experienced this. . .I am special. . .I can advance my diet and be OK.

What you are not agreeing with me, you are trying to tell me NO! You are mean I am going to block you and anyone else who is not wishing me pink puddles and warm puppy support. . .you are mean. . .you don't understand how I feel.

Let's all pull on our big boy and girl pants and realize that sometimes the most supportive advice is the cyber kick in the pants.

Thank Gawd for people like Karen and Tracey any the many others here that willing call a spade a spade and not a bloody shovel!!

As many have said and I repeat with whole hearted support to block people like Karen is the OP's loss not Karen's (well maybe she too will lose a bit of angst and a great deal of frustration for the people who think "their special")

Leona, I want to thank you again for teaching this old girl a thing or two about iron supplementing. I'm having blood work done this weekend again and I actually can't wait to see the results. LOL

sorry Karen but I have no references to support my knowledge therefore it is invalid.. . good luck, and let me know how it goes

Edited to include: I am hoping that transfusion will be publishing soon. . .then they will be valid
