Guest guest Posted August 23, 2000 Report Share Posted August 23, 2000 Last week I posted 2 messages to this site; one about my own post-op symptoms and another requesting information about MGB and individuals with highly demanding jobs (did they mix OK?). I received one reply to my message (thanks ), and none regarding my other request. Don't know what this means. Topic not interesting enough? No suggestions? Didn't bother to read? Not one of the 'group'? It's disappointing to be directed to this site for advice - and then be ignored. Is there a solution? Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2000 Report Share Posted August 23, 2000 Sorry Debbie, but I am pre-op and do not have any answers for ya, And maybe no one else does either, because everyone here are pretty good about answering if they no what to answer. hugs and slugs marg waitin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2000 Report Share Posted August 23, 2000 Post the questions again. Sometimes a post can get overlooked, because of the high volume of mail here -- 200-300 messages a day some days! And sometimes the reply gets missed for the same reason.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2000 Report Share Posted August 23, 2000 Dear Debbie, My internet service has been out for a week at home and I can rarely get a chance to read or respond to the site while at work. Don't ever feel left out, just jump up and down and someone will answer. On the queasy topic, I'm one day shy of 1 month post op and have never been queasy, nauseuous or vomited. My only suggestion would be to nibble on some crackers. I don't really know, though. le was very queasy and it turned out (so far) to be hormonal. As for your daughter, the majority of post-ops are older than 22, as I am (41 yrs. old). But, here's my spin on the demanding job side of things. I would suggest the surgery is scheduled when your daughter has at least 3 weeks to adjust without school or work (summer?). The first 2 weeks post-op you are just learning how much liquids to drink and figuring out what medicines to take. It would be tough trying to juggle that and work or go to school. The 3rd week is when you can begin to add foods. That's when I went back to work. While I am doing great, I do not have 100% of my energy back yet. There are still times when I could use a nap, especially by Thursday or Friday. (It's possible hubby's new sleep apnea machine is keeping me awake at night and I'm overtired). My job is demanding, but I have a wonderful boss and a lot of support. I wouldn't want to start a new job at this time in my recovery. Hope you are feeling better. Hope your daughter decides to go forward. Sincerely, Bernardine , TX 7/24/00 248/226 > Last week I posted 2 messages to this site; one about my own post-op > symptoms and another requesting information about MGB and individuals > with highly demanding jobs (did they mix OK?). > > I received one reply to my message (thanks ), and none regarding > my other request.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2000 Report Share Posted August 23, 2000 Where are these pre and post op sites? I must have missed the memo. ) Best of luck with your surgery...

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2000 Report Share Posted August 23, 2000 Hi Debbie: Can you post again. Some folks get their mail web only, some just don't have an answer for you..re highly demanding jobs...not everyone has one or has a take on that. Some folks are on vacation and aren't getting mail. Please post again and I'm sure if someone has any info. on the topics you asked about, they'll chime in! If you're reading this and if you are on this site, you're one of the " group " . One of the last acceptable prejudices in society today is the prejudice against fat people...which we are...and you will find us the most accepting group you ever came across. We are inclusive, not exclusive... Sorry you didn't get an answer. I didn't see your post but wouldn't have commented on the demanding job question (although I did have one before I retired) since I am now retired and spend my days being a slug....LOL.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2000 Report Share Posted August 23, 2000 I'm sorry no one else replied but as for me, I didn't identify with either. Sorry, you are not being ignored.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2000 Report Share Posted August 24, 2000 My advice? Don't take it personally!! There aren't any " groups " here except one big supporting one. I don't have a highly demanding job right now except for 3 kids..lol..so I can't answer your question. If you don't get an answer the first time..just ask again and say that no one answered you the first time. Sometimes people think that Oh someone else has probably already written back..or whatever. This is a group full of all kinds of different knowledge!! Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
