I just caught this.
You're wrong on so many levels.
This is our way of offering support, the accountability thread keeps everyone in check. I rarely post but read often. If you don't care, don't read it, it's that simple. This site is a reference site, a Q&A and above all else a support site. This is helpful to many who post on the KY board. Most have made friends with others in real life. If we can't answer your question here, go to the main board.
My best opinion if you don't like certain threads, don't read them, or block the person who started them. It appears you are the minority in this instance.

Hello all
Here i come with my big mouth and big foot to put in it.
I live in Indiana and had my surgery in KY and i come to the Indiana and the ky board.
I have not met alot of you but i feel like i know you already from the postings on this board and all the encouragement i get and advice and friendship it is absolutely wondeful.
I do know LeeAnn and i love her dearly i feel like she is my long lost sister.
But i look forward to seeing what everyone is up to and how they are doing are they maintaining how there families are and most of all what they are eating it gives me ideas of new thing si may add to my diet or things that i shouldnt.
Not everyone will be happy with the postings but you gotta take the good with the bad and add your own once in awhile.
Everyone is welcome and alot of the older posters dont post as much they have very busy lives(as we all do)but they will pop in from time to time.
But hang in there you will find useful info at times and fun info at others and we are all in the same boat or we wouldnt be on here in the first place.
I wonna post about everything but i hold back or everyone would have me blocked.lol
But i wonna say thanks guys for allthe help and encouragement you have given me plus you sharing your journies(oh spelled wrong)

I have never felt anything but welcome on this site. I like that I know what's happening in people's lives. This is a support group of sorts and support is not just about our surgeries. It's about the people in the group and what's happening in their lives. The group I'm referring to is everyone who types on the KY board. This is how I got to know a bunch of you before I even met you. I've never know anyone to be excluded from anything. Even the Norton's support group is open to all surgery patients whether or not you had your surgery at Norton's. I'm sorry if this seems like a clique because it's not. Everyone is welcome at everything.
I just had to put my two cents in. Hope I didn't come across harshly because I do sometimes without meaning too.

I think this site is wonderful, and I haven't even had surgery. I like to read your post and respond when I can. I have alot going on right now or I would be on here more often. You gals are wonderful and enjoy reading what you ate and what type of excercise you do. I am trying to diet and excercise since I can't get surgery. I still get ideas from your posts. Thanks girls!!!! You are helping me even when I am not able to post......
LeeAnn I want to thank you for all your support. I have lost another 7 pounds. But am leaving in the morning for a 19hour drive to Colorado. Dan's father is very ill and apparently his stepmother is not taking care of him. The hospital wants to send him to a nursing home. She does not want that as his money will go for the home. And the poor baby can't make her house payment. I told Dan that he earned that money and if he needs the care of a home then she can sell her home. She moved him out there away from his family so she could be near hers. Now she is talking about a DNR. He never mentioned his wishes and does not have a living will nor does she have a health care power of attorney. I think she wants his insurance money. Enough of my problems. I love all of you in Indiana and Kentucky. I love my Obesity Help. I don't post on here is often because I communicate with you all on Facebook were I don't get hasseled for my opinion. Love ya Lee Lee, Amy
Amen sister! I agree totally........this board is for HELP, not high-school antics. We all have had our rough times, and we have tried our best to be there for each other, and to help us through it! And for that, I love each and everyone on here! The KY board certainly has made me feel much more at home than the IN board. Thanks again for posting this. I may not post on here that often, but it doesn't mean that I don't miss my visits with everyone! Hugs to all!
At Goal! 165 pounds gone forever! Thank you Lord!
You only have one life to live, but if lived right, it's the only one you need!

I have no interest in getting involved in the arguing, accusing and politicing but I will say simply that I have always felt nothing but welcome here and have been helped when I needed it.
I am a very rare poster but a frequent reader. I don't find it difficult at all to skip posts that I have no interest in and find posts that I do. I never assumed that this was a purely informational site. I assumed it is exactly what it says it is: a message board---some times serious, sometimes silly, sometimes completely helpful, other times not--like every other messageboard out there. It is about the social interaction and people will gravitate toward people like themselves. It's human, it happens.
We have all done or are planning to do something that ranks right up there with the biggies as life changes go. And as people of size, we may tend to be oversensitive to what we see at being left out or attacked. May I suggest we all focus on what is connecting us and not what is dividing us? The world is hard enough for us without dragging all that negativity in here.

This is to no one in particular
I have gotten and received a mulittude of support and suggestions(including you all who participate in the accountability) and am more than grateful to all of you.
I do not think I conveyed in words what was in my head when all of this started(which is clearly my fault).I also was heavily drugged by pain and nausuea medicine from an early morning trip to the ER for a migraine and puking.(and yes I know that is not an acceptable excuse) I sincerly apologize.
My husband who is also a bariatric patient and frequents this forum told me that he thinks it would be in our best interest to only read and no longer reply to any of the posts.
I would never dog any one's doctor or procedure choice because we are all different and have to make the correct choices for us and besides that the only doctor or procedure I have had experience with is my own.
My husband and I both wish all of you nothing but the best and really hope you all as we are keeping up the good fight against fat

Wendy, please don't leave on this account. It's an inane venting of opinions that at this point has snowballed and has very little to do with your original post and I too apologize for my part on that original thread.
You seem like a nice person that I for one would like to get to know better. I think you and I both realize we can have differing opinons, air those opinions and not get our panties in a twist over what someone has said so long as it's done respectfully. Some people seem to have a bug up their butt no matter what is said and it's like beating a dead horse. So what if people have differing opinions, interests and posting styles? That's what makes the world colorful and interesting!
Everyone should post on this board that wants to do so and ignore those people and threads that don't interest them. I'm not clear as to why people feel it needs to be an "us and them" society on here but it's of their own creation, not mine.
Just to add a giggle to things.....Guess what the topic of conversation is at the Indy OH clothing swap is today?? This whole stinkin mess!!
I'm going outside to enjoy the sunshine now.....i'm sure this debate will still be going on when I get back and will make for entertaining reading tonight.
Have a great day and don't let this mess get you down, OK?

Just another Bariatric Babe!!
Just another Bariatric Babe!! Thank you
I really feel bad about the cliquish thing. There just aren't as many people near here who are very active on the site and I feel like ya'll have a great comraderie and I guess as childish as this may seem I feel a little jealous. The people on this site whether they know it or not have really helped me a lot. If I could erase the words that came out of my big mouth and apologize to everyone I would.
I am hoping that if I stay under the radar(so to speak for a bit) I might be welcomed back but if not I understand.
The ladies and few men who post seem like very kind, caring and knowledgable people and I really feel bad for ruffling feathers.
I also had been to the ER earlier that morning with a horrible migraine and vomitting and the morphine and zofran that they gave me tends to destroy the stupidity filter that we all have.
I felt so bad about what I said that after I got the first e-mail that (rightfully so)berated me I cried for about an hour.
THe support that I have recieved on here has gotten me through some really rough times and I feel like I have really screwed myself
