Re: [MiniGastricBypass]dreaded one

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I got another email from our dreaded friend today. She feels that this

surgery is not the way to go for someone my age. Does anyone else in the

group feel this way. I will be 18 on Nov. 13. I feel I am a great candidate

because my BMI is 48. I would really like some input. I also need some more

contacts. If anyone can help I would appreciate it.

Dear Acoya,

While I am 38 I do know what it is like to be fat in school. No dates, no

party invitations, can't fit into the desks and breathe, not being able to

participate in sports, not being able to shop in the junior department, the

list goes on and on.

I admire you for being able to make an informed decision at such a young age

so you don't experience all the negative ramifications (both social and

physical) of being fat. My only regret with this surgery is that I didn't

find the site until now. If I had found it at your age I would have done it

in a heartbeat.

Keep up the work - it's worth it.

Acoya,

I think this surgery is a wonderful option for you.

You are young and should handle the surgery well. I

wish that I could have had something like this done

when I was your age. I will be 31 next month and

don't get me wrong, I'm still young but I can't

imagine what my life would have been like the past 12

or so years if I could have had this surgery when I

was your age. Just being able to go to the prom,

going to college and walking around on campus, going

out on dates. She's just trying to scare you. I know

enough to be able to say that she is just twisting

data and using other people's words out of context.

She's probably jealous because she didn't have the

opportunity to have this done when she was younger.

Ignore her and live a good life, a healthy life, and a

beautiful life.

Thanks Kim,

She contacted me again. I don't know what to do. I wish she would just

leave me alone!! I plan on having the surgery no matter what. I'm just slow

getting this package together. I'm working on my contacts now. Thanks for

your support! Keep me posted about your surgery.

Can I say something about LT? Instead of worrying about what she has to say,

which don't mean a hill of beans, why not just delete the e-mail from her and

not even read or respond to it? She's accomplishing everything she wants to

accomplish.... Doubt, concern, worry. Honestly, she don't bother me at all.

I'm doing my own research and she isn't going to tell me what I should or

should not do. My advise... Ignore her. Don't post messages about how

worried you are that she's contacted you. Can't you see that's what she

wants. Personally, I'm tired of hearing about her and reading about her.

Sorry you all, to be so blunt, but isn't any of you tired of hearing about

that ole witch. She obviously don't have anything better to do than to talk

about our beloved doctor, but we've got better things to do than listen to

her. Again, my advise is to quit posting concerns about things she's said on

the board. It just encourages her.

That's my thoughts on the matter.

Re: dreaded one

Acoya. See that delete button on your keyboard? Next email that you receive

that you don't even want to deal with, press that button, and away she goes,

off into the spacedump! She only has the power that you allow her to have.

Take care. PhillyJude MGB 11-3-00 260/247

Acoya,

Sorry I haven't acknowledged your response, I am just

now catching up on this weekends email, I haven't

checked anything since Thursday. You are bound to

have the ability to block her address somewhere in

your email account. Otherwise, delete it. I know it

is tough to have someone harassing you like that. She

will probably continue to target you especially

because you are younger and she figures she can get

more of a response out of you. Don't let her. Show

her that you are more mature than she is regardless of

age and don't even give her the satisfaction of using

any of your time to read, respond or reflect on any of

her comments. I'm telling you girl, don't even open

the demonic things.

To be perfectly honest I find it interesting that she

has not bothered to include me in her pre-op

bombardment. I guess I should be glad. But I am not

afraid of her words. Acoya, that is all they are and

obviously they can't be trusted because only someone

with a LOT of problems would continue to harass you.

Be strong my friend and I will be here to support you

all the way.

Acoya, I am new to email and I have sent you a couple

of messages, I'm not sure if you have received them.

I am so excited about the possibility of you having

MGB. I would like to follow you through the process.

I know this will be a life changing experience for

you.

Let me know if you get this message. Karla
