Guest guest Posted October 3, 2000 Report Share Posted October 3, 2000 ***I personally don't give a flying truck (rhymes with (oh never mind)) what surgery someone else chooses*** Flo! I'm blushing! Just Kidding! I agree with you whole-heartedly. I believe I made the contract with Dr. R and I feel that people who are upset should have a right to say what they feel, ONCE, then get on with their life and leave us happy mgbers to ours! Dinah in AL who is exhausted from reading this SH.. (rhymes with HIT) > Please. No one is more confrontational that I am. I love a good confrontation. I love a rip snorting argument. But what's the point here and what's the prize? This pissing contest is an exercise in futility. This pissing contest will never end if we don't end it NOW and get back to the business of supporting each other. People who are interested in destroying Dr. Rutledge and " saving lives " will never give up. These people will not be swayed. There is no point in arguing with them. It is fruitless. > > I was taught in a 12-Step Program that the definition of insanity is " doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result " . Answering the posts of folks who are looking for an argument and have already made up their minds falls in this category. > > May I suggest that we refer all questions of a medical nature to Dr. Rutledge. Just tell them that you understand their concern and that medical questions are posed to Dr. Rutledge or that most questions can be answered by checking the clos net site. Dr. Rutledge can then make a decision whether or not to answer a medical question. If you have any of Dr. R's posts, such as the one that just came through, post it. He is the medical expert we hired. Let's let him do his job. Our job is support..supporting each other..supporting those of us who have had the surgery or who have come to the decision that we want THIS surgery or whatever other surgery someone wants to have. > > I will not be convinced that the MGB is anything but the best. There is nothing they can say that will shake my faith in this surgery. They will never be convinced that MGB is anything but the worst. Why would I even want to shake their faith? Who cares what they think? So what? It doesn't matter and it won't matter 10 years from now. So let's just quit clogging up the list with explaining, defending, arguing and anything but supporting each other. > > I personally don't give a flying truck (rhymes with (oh never mind)) what surgery someone else chooses to have. I believe I chose the best. But it's no skin off my nose if they choose something different. I chose a Dr., I asked him what he could do for me, he told me, I liked what I heard, I believed in his competence, I had the surgery, I'm happy, I'm losing weight...but why would I spend my time arguing with folks who for whatever reason are pissed off at him. My agenda was my health. Their's is convincing us that our Dr. is a liar and a cheat. He ain't. We know it. Who cares what they think? > > Move over le.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2000 Report Share Posted October 4, 2000 Flo, Thank you!!!! If we would just get off the subject of LT and move on to the SUPPORT for those of us who are TRYING to get the surgery that we believe is best for us then the majority of those posting would appreciate it. Rebekah I believe that many of the recent posts have been there just to antagonize and start a fight. I have been reading the truth posts too and I notice that just as soon as someone on this group says anything derogatory (?) about LT, then all of a sudden that is copied and posted to her site. Why? What's the point? Are we all just wanting to fight? Not me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
