Slow-mag???
Stick close. She's the "arranger" of all things WLS in Phx. There is a revision only group, varius groups around town, and I think a longer termes group, as well. And of course, a person can be in more than one group!

Smile...I will ask Joyce to put me on her email list. I have a lot of health problems right now.
I was basically called a liar by someone on this board when I said how much blood was taken for tests. Who would lie about such a thing and why.Had she asked politely,I probaly would have explained that there were 3 doctors requesting blood tests,all different,no duplicates. Also that I did not go to see my brother as the doctor thought it best not to be in a car for 7 hours with my legs swollen and them not knowing why. I am having the PAD tests done next weak,the EKGs and CAT scans were fine.
I try not to be combative,but it hurts,and that is not why I am here.
She then expected me to answer a barage of questions,after not speaking to me in a month. She is rude and crude. It makes it hard sometimes.
This person is over weight, and bills herself as a "Oh group leader",and she has no group. I just had to share,get it off my chest.
Well,take care and thank you for the feed back.

Stick with Joyce. She is an organizer and may refer you to someone else to be your mentor.
Well, welcome to my world. They ALL think I'm nuts for insisting on optimal levels for my labs and not just "fine". I have no bones here1 I can't do a thing about it, and maybe I have become fanatical, but I really don't want to lose the use of any more body parts, thanks.

I am confused,why would I need a mentor? I have lost 301 pounds and am maintaining. I will ask Joyce to let me know of the activities in AZ.
I have a copy of all my labs, and they just did a truck load of tests, everything in my body it seems. I have a print out of all of them,except the ones they just did of course.
Do you have a site?? I agree with you,I am 58,and I would like to hold on to my parts too!
Thanks,I will PM you when this craziness is over.

I am 15 yrs out, wt loss is holding. BUT I still need to be supporter/supportED. It's how I stay up on stuff, accountable to SOMEONE, anyone, whose eyes are in me, to keep going in the right direction.
I'm not saying YOU need it more than *I* do, but many think they can fly solo and I don't think so. We need on line discussions (so that bad things don't get perpetuated) and live groups for the eyes-on.
A mentor is someone who already did the stupid stuff. That's all. LOL

Oh,now I understand. I am a 12Th stepper in Overeaters Anon. I run the What we are eating thread on OFF for over 2 years now. I stay in touch with people,that keeps me honest...smile. I did not understand what you meant.
Darlene,I have no respect for,she could never be a mentor to me. She is rude,crude,and living in the disease,she attacks and discorages people. I have seen her be so rude to a new person, that never come back. She has driven so many away,dear lady. It is so sad.
I am in recovery one day at a time. I deal with the spiritual,emotional, and the physical facets of my disease. Fat was and is a symptom of my disease.
I have seen Darlene hurt,discourage,and insult people. She called me a liar,about blood work? Tsk!!. She is a vexation to the spirit,so I no longer respond to her. I now have documentation on her so she will leave my friends,all the good people on OFF alone,instead of chasing them away.
Thank you for your time. I got so fat from steroids,but I have meant so many good people who otherwise I would not have. You are very kind,take care.

Wow. Not sure to whom you are referring, so I'll just put that over ------> there for now.
Some ppl are toxic, so we avoid them. Many have failed their surgeries or their surgeries have failed them, and they want others to fail. When we do live support groups (at least 3 per month for us), toxic ppl show themselves. If a newbie is falling under their spell, I will take them aside later.
Someone once blamed me for her regain because she saw me stick my finger on fudge crumbs. Not a piece of fudge, just what was on the plate. But she was eating a PLATE of fudge per day! HUGE difference. She had 100% regain, same, surgery I had, roughly same era. She says the surgery didn't work for her. Hmm, well, it can't work if you never, ever stop eating. Never talk to her IRL or on the phone and she is not chomping something. Even healthy food can fatten you up if you eat it nonstop, continuously. Whole cake, pan of fudge, 1/2 gal of ice cream daily. I had to move away or be drawn in myself.

As we say in Overeaters Anonymous,"It works,if you work it".
Toxic is the exact disciption. We have formed a special group to keep an eye out,and expose this person,as to save our newbies and people struggling. She exposed a "friends' " private most intimate emails,by posting them on OFF. We now have emails of her criticizing and being hateful to her friends on OFF,the few she has not chased away. When I came to OFF,it was like a tomb. Others and myself has made it bubble again.
She will lay quiet because of the documentation we have,I am not proud of this,but sometimes you have to get mud on ya when you dealing with an animal.
PHLEEZE stop by the eating thread one morning and give us a holla.
You are truly an inspiration.
Highest Regards!

The eating us and stuff? Well, I tend to avoid those because my eating plan is so very different than most ppl follow.
I eat normal fat, avoid low fat or fat free. I count sugars only. And I only count protein in my drinks, not my food. Never counted calories. Exercise is not big in my life, but I'm no couch potato!
So, I don't know that those are the examples you want to model after, tho this certainly has worked for me. LOL
