Terrifying Dumping Incident + is this normal?
I was only able to watch 2 1/2 minutes of that before closing it. That was rough! You say "um" WAY too much & you ramble quite a bit. I just kept thinking, get to the f'ing point already. Oh well, I can tell from the other posts I didn't miss anything interesting or informative. Just another clueless newbie.
It is kinda ****ty though, that you now know you are way off & you still plan to leave that non-sense hanging out there. Hopefully people will watch your intro, listen to how you speak & just consider the source before taking anything you say too seriously.

Won against big bad (SoCal) Kaiser for a Duodenal Switch Haven't heard of DS? Kaiser wants it that way. Come on over & read the truth.
Hit goal (Normal BMI) on 2-10-11! I LOVE my DS!!
My approval process timeline:
02/12/09 - Dr. refused to refer me for WLS
03/03/09 - Vented/whined about it on another board, planned to just wait until next year & switch plans
Let's see what happens!

*Sigh* I never said I was right, I was simply saying that the lynch mob that seems to have formed here could perhaps understand why I felt the way I did and refrain from attacking me personally, but rather give me alternatives (and thank you to those who did). I am fully open to the idea that it was NOT dumping.
The reason I said I would leave it up is because it was an important experience for me and if you thought hey, she's wrong about the dumping than instead of calling me names, go ahead and come with the facts via a comment on the video or a video response if you think it's that important.
Don't worry, I won't be posting here again. I'm trying to stay positive about my experience.
Good luck to everyone on their DS journey.

I'm sorry you felt the need to deactivate. Seems kind of like cutting off your nose to spite your face, as you won't find a better resource for DS knowledge and advice anywhere, IMHO. OH has saved me many times.
Once you'd been given the facts about why your experience WASN'T dumping, in my opinion, it was your responsibility as part of the DS community to edit your video or leave a comment on it. Why should it be up to the rest of us to go to a different website and clean up your mess? Many of us are not even part of YouTube, don't have an account with which to comment.
I can understand wanting to leave the VLog up as part of your experience, but changing the title, description or adding a comment would have been very easy. To me, you leaving the video as is basically says "I don't care that my misinformation could harm someone else and perpetuate myths about the DS".
I still hope you will reconsider.
