Topic: RE: I AM ABSOLUTELY LIVID !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH owns every word that is put on OH, as I have found out. OH also owns and runs many centers and clinics for obesity. Seems to me, this is information that we should have been clearly given before we posted our information profiles.

Sherri,
I am concerned about my profile as well. How can OH be allowed to put my profile on someone else's website without my permission?? Please contact me. I am very, very concerned!
Sincerely,

Mine is on Arizona Bariatrics and I have NEVER even been to their site. So, is that how they get our profile? The person from OH that spruced it up gave it to them???? How is that legal????????????
Topic: RE: Waiting for approval---need an angel
hi, I am sorry u seem to have no support from family and friends right now, but what I noticed from my family and friends is that they didn't understand the process. All you ever hear on tv or in papers is the complications and risks, they really don't discuss the success stories, they would rather make everyone fear this surgery and then they can plaster all over the tv and papers how "fat or obease" americans have become. I took my husband to a seminar with me, the surgeon was there and talked about the procedure, risks and also the success stories and let me tell you, we both left that meeting feeling a lot better about the surgery. He is now my biggest supporter. Maybe you could try educating family and friends a little more on the bennifits from the surgery and maybe they will come around....You could also try posting this question on the main message board, a lot more people go to that one, I have been on this site for over a month now and this is the first time i have come across this message board.
God Bless

Topic: Sex issues, anyone?
Hey folks,
Are there themes that couples on this forum find to be common and puzzling and/or problematic after surgery relating to sex?
OH Magazine doesn't talk enough about sexuality, but that may be because people don't often write to us suggesting that we feature articles on "what to do with the belly flap" during sex, as one brave soul finally did this week!!! What questions would you like to have addressed about your sexuality in an article (or articles)? Is there any source of information you have come to respect on topics such as these?
Thanks much!

My husband and I are both going to have surgery. We are in a 3-month waiting period for insurance right now.
Topic: Waiting for approval---need an angel
Hi folks,
I'm new to this message board. I'm waiting to be approved and you know...I'm finding out that my family and friends don't understand why I'm having the surgery or they are apathetic. I am married but whenever I try to discuss the surgery with my husband, he changes the subject or acts like he didn't hear me. I could really use a friendly ear to voice my hopes, my fears, someone who knows just how I feel and what I'm about to go through.
Any one interested can email me.
Have a God-blessed day on purpose!

Topic: RE: Let's have a little fun!
HELLO,
I TOO AM A SUFFERER OF PCOS. BUT I REFUSE TO GIVE UP ON HAVING MORE. I HAVE 3 BABIES. ACTUALLY, 1 BIOLOGICAL AND 2 STEP. BUT I WANT TO HAVE ANOTHER. THEY ARE ALL GIRLS AND I BELIEVE IT WILL BE TIME FOR A BOY. PCOS IS DEPRESSING. I GET THERE AND GET PREGNANT ONLY TO LOSE THE BABY ABOUT 2 MONTHS AFTER. IT SUCKS. RIGHT NOW, WE ARE TAKING A BREATHER BECAUSE I WILL BE HAVING THE RNY DONE SOON. SO IN ANOTHER 2 YEARS THE DOCTOR SAID WE WILL BE ABLE TO TRY AGAIN. SO MUCH FOR THAT.
Topic: RE: 85 lb wl and hubby is not complimenting
I know what you are going threw. My husband started to act this way not long after my op (2 or 3 months) and it got really bad then he cheated on me... well i jest about ended it but he agreed to go to counsling and things have totaly turned around. It came from him feeling very insecure and giving up on us because he was so sure that I was going to leave him once I bettered myself and looked wonderful even tho i daily told him i loved him and showed him his head issues got the best of him and he almost lost me and wrecked our little family. It has been a long hard road and we still have to work on things however now with him going to thrapy alot we are going to make it.
