Why Did You Bother?
Wow, the Geico Getko is actually a judgemetal 6 year post op from Conneticut, Judge much?
I don't claim to be Senora Sane, but I would never ever write a posting such as yours...
Judgemental people make me really snarky..
I had WLS for all the wrong reasons,had no comorbidities due to my obesity was very eating disordered from the time I was young for opposite reasons due to having a thin pretty mom who was ashamed of me and put me on zillions of diets from the time I was young and being a fat bullied kid. So ya I have my issues, too... I don't lecture people on here though, or shame em'...
I got pregnant with my daughter 6 1/2 months after my RNY after a Birth Control failure,it was a complicated pregnancy which led to further gastric bypass compliations which led to further health problems.I hope for your sake you never find yourself pregnant. If you have been, or cared, you could have never ever said something like you did to Beth, which what you said was despicable.
Maybe journal instead of post until you find your way, it's normal to struggle, anyone who has to resort to surgically altering their digestive systems NEVER EVER HAS A RIGHT to be as condescending or as insulting as you have been to her and the rest of us. I sincerely hope you can see how damaging what you said was and apologize. I may have regrets about the surgery and choices I have made, I may not have been the perfect post op, I may not have a very enviable post op life,I do know though I am supportive of my peers, and I do know this I don't regret for one second that I had my daughter.

Just as a heads up from a graduate post op.. I was a size 9-10 for the 1st 3 years, I was a size 4-6 or the next 3 years, I gained then 90 lbs going from a size 4 to a size 22 from 2007-2009 from complications, overwhelming me.. Lost 60 in 2010, gained almost 20 back, lost of that.. currently anywhere between a 12/14 and a lg/1x depending who makes the clothes.. Never say never as you never ever know!!!!....

This is one of the most hilarious things I have ever seen in print!!! I know this is a sensitve post but I am having the time of my life with all of the fantastic quotes. What makes it that much funnier is that I am from CT, too. Sorry, kudos is due for that amazing snarkiness.

Congratulations on your baby :) A birth control failure is also known as a "surprise". And a surprise in my life is defined as "something or someone you absolutely positively couldn't live without - you just didn't know it in advance".
Yeah I love babies. I wish i could have had another one - but there will be grandkids in my life soon enough. (Hey kids if you're reading this - NOT TOO SOON, OK?)

Thank you for this post! It confirms that OH is full of bickering children who are ruining what should be a good tool to help get support.
You do get that right? This is a ******g support website. Now explain to me how your head up your ass attitude is supporting anyone but yourself? You make this post to get people to respond telling you how good you are and anyone who struggles is worth less then yourself.
Anyway thanks for confirming what all the childish surgery war threads started. OH is a cesspool that I do not need to spend time on.

Thank you, Wired, for saying this so beautifully! 
It has been months since I've visited the main board....now I remember why I stopped coming here! I happily get the support I need from other boards here at OH and my local support group that I attend once a month.
Seriously, people.....like, REALLY?

Nothing tastes as good as healthy feels! 
Pretty sure you'll block this account, but I BOTHERED because I wanted greater health.
I had NO GUILT over being super morbidly obese. My weight did not DEFINE me. Any person who defined me because of my weight, as you seem to do so frequently, was the person with the REAL problem, the person who judges on appearance and who attaches morality to obesity.
If success means living in the prison of guilt you so often demonstrate, than I'm ******g glad to be a failure.
If success is what I measure.... elimination of comorbidities regardless of ending weight and size, then I'm a success.
You define success superficially, and that saddens me, for you and for anyone else who is in that same boat.
And frankly, there is no ice cream that is really worth the brain freeze..... but it's not about FOOD it's about getting control of oneself .... understanding one's limitations, and moving forward to LIVE life. I'd rather live life in a size 10 or 12 and be happy, then spend my life obsessively trying to make some arbitrary standard of beauty.
