Okay, Some of you are thinking.......
I am sorry......did you say to me "TRY to be more real"
Let me see you scars and you videos and you talk about the stuff you have had happen to you in your life and then post it for the world to see and then after all that........spend your free time trying help people for free and do it cause it is something you should do.......When you start showing me half of what I offer to help people get thru each day of their new life.....
Then you can come at me telling me to get more real, until then allow me to say that I am sorry that I don't do things the way you do them.
I tell people to go to my website to view the things they can't see on OH and help prove to them I am who I say I am!
i ask them to be my friends so that when I decide to send out a mass email I know who I want them to go too.
And they other stuff.....like ego.....
I'm pretty much "what you see is what you get" I can't help others if they don't know who I am. If they don't know who I am then they won't trust me. if they don't trust me, then they will not ask me the things that I know about. See where this is going.......
It's not ego.....I'm not getting a dime for helping anyone.....I also have nothing to gain by being anything other then I am.
This my seem kind "in your face" and I don't mean for it too. but if you can't read between the lines and are going to voice your opinion.....be ready, cause I have a lot of feelings and already have enough to deal with when it comes to getting thru my own "personal" things. Sometimes...believe it or not.......there are people still in this world who try to do good and be a good to others.
Catch my drift? And yes I am very busy.....but still make time to try to do things that are important to me. Like try to help people!
Cheers

Ron,
see? now THAT was a real Reply... that was my only reasoning in writing what i and OTHERS were feeling and or sensing from your posts.
Now that you have said this (not that it prob means ANYTHING to you at all) I respect you!
We both are VERY much alike. We can relate to MOST on these boards but at the same time---only see SOME come through for advertising etc... hence the reason for some of us on here to be a bit apprehensive.
I know my reply to you may have seemed a bit CRASS.. but take with a grain of salt! I was not TRYING to tell you HOW to be or WHAT to do... i was just SHOWING you How it came across to SOME of us!
You like me have a career... in whatver field it MAY be---my apololgies if i "mistook" your kindness for anything other than that!
I have been a member on this board for about a year.. i have gotten to know a few people and have lots of friends.. I have given support--recieved support--and will continue to do so ALSO FOR FREE.
It doesnt matter who we are WHERE we come from or WHAT type of work we do, to me--it would have been more HUMBLE if you had introduced yourself in a different way.. thats all...
i wasnt FLAMING you for WHO YOU are.. just the way you came across...
Come on DUDE!! in the end i DID say PEACE HUGS AND SWINGING CHICKENS :)
Personal stuff? Ya i can relate.
Ego? Not so much
Life after WLS? Definetly... if your wishes are to educate others etc.. then more power to you and congrats on your success..
Olive branch?

I WILL remain POSITIVE and by such thought---it SHALL be!
Hey about the scars, I have had seen a blurb (perhaps it was even your web site ) a couple of years ago, that you spent 300K or in that range for your plastics? What did you have done that it cost that much?
I lost about the same amount of weight as you, and I've already had the the LBL and the moobie reduction..I thought 60K was a lot (NYC pricing) ...but 300K? was that an accurate number?

/sigh
she just won't leave, will she?
Let me say this from the bottom of my heart:
good bye. Leave the dudes alone. We sure didn't ask for madam councelor to pipe in here and smooth things over for us neanderthals. If we wanted a woman's opinion, we would have asked on the general forum.
As for Ron, so what if his welcome post was a little off the norm. Give the dude a break. He's spent time in freak-land (i.e. Hollywood). I mean, really. Have you ever watched the news down there? It's like one big social advertisement for one thing or another. SO WHAT if it wasn't exactly the way newbies usually jump into the pool. Take a second to chat with him, and you find out he's alright.

that was my main reasoning in replying to THIS thread. If i PM'd him i wouldnt have gotten a response ya know!
I am not posting on OTHER threads therefore ill leave THIS one when its finished. I am not trying to over step any boundaries here---im normal/human/had a thought and replied. That was it.
Dont make it something that it is not---if I were able to do it through PM i would---unfortunetly if I CANT even reply to all of MY pm's what makes me think HE who is more "famous" than I would!

OK I was willing to sit back and shut up and let you post your 1st comment so some of the guys wouldn't think I'm being a dick.
But dam would you leave go to Tuna Town if they will take you and shut the F%$# UP.
It a shame that some people actually give a crap about people other then their self and because of their walk in life you automatically assume they want something.
Like the man said read, watch then make up your mind. If we all had your opinion how would anyone trying to over come a addiction get help (Oh your a insurance salesmen you probably came to AA to sell insurance or your a lawyer what got tired of chancing ambulances?).
For one I'm glad your here I hope you stay active and your story is impressive and nicely done. Once again WELCOME ABOARD!!!!! Rocky Top
