Guest guest Posted October 18, 2000 Report Share Posted October 18, 2000 Hey everyone! Not sure what happened or why he did it but Dr. R has changed the egroup list so that no one can get to the archives. I do know, from reading her list, that LT has been sending in her pack of wolves to find posts about his past patients and then cutting and pasting only the parts that she feels will forward her agenda. Just yesterday she took a letter from Pam G. and cut it to suit her. I for one am very concerned about her getting my personal info. Info that I posted BEFORE her breakdown. Many people have posted their work numbers, home phone numbers and addresses here to the list. It is frightening to think what a person like her can do with that kind of info. But even with that said........I want my list back wwaaaaa waaaaaaa waaaaaaa! So I have gone in and changed from Web Only to daily digest. That has done the trick. I miss you guys when you are not here! Signed: MGB Post Addict in Florida Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 18, 2000 Report Share Posted October 18, 2000 i understand the discomfort we might all feel at linda and her minions reading things that we have entered and using them in twisted ways, but in the grand scheme of things, so what! to take the whole list down and make it inaccessible to everyone is the wrong thing to do, imo. the archives are a wealth of information that should be available to all of us who created it. i have searched it numerous times, for everything from (as a pre-op) getting information about pam greer and kristen's death, to, as a post-op, looking for info on slow losers or hair loss. it is an invaluable tool, particularly for pre-ops researching the surgery. all of the archives from the mgb-tech list were already deleted. on the remaining lists, i think it is important that we continue to be as open as possible about what we are going through, good and bad. to cripple this list this makes it look like information is being hidden, and feeds the paranoia. we should not let fear of a few people make us hide. in addition, as i said earlier, i find having to get the e-mails or digest form, rather than reading on the web, a cumbersome process (i can never remember what an e-mail is repsonding to, and i end up reading lots of them i have no interest in, AND it takes up too much memory on my computer (i use a yahoo e-mail and space is limited.) to be honest, if the list stays this way, i would probably not participate. just my two cents, anna --- TooEnable@... wrote: > Hey everyone! > Not sure what happened or why he did it but Dr. R > has changed the egroup list > so that no one can get to the archives.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2000 Report Share Posted October 22, 2000 Well all I'm writing my very first email to the group. My name is Kathy and am hoping to have the minigastric surgery....Hello to all...please anyone if you could tell me anything that would be helpful it would be much appreciated. Thanks again, Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 23, 2000 Report Share Posted October 23, 2000 Hello Kathy, Welcome to the group. You are in the right place. Ruqayya in Miami Pre-op 11/2/00!!!!! Will answer any questions after that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 23, 2000 Report Share Posted October 23, 2000 WELCOME!! Kathy, We are all here for the same reason we are obese and we either have had or are anticipating WLS. I have been researching for a number of months. You need to check and see if you meet the criterior first and this may keep you from having some undue stress. Check on thre home page and get the registration form and start from there. I have insurance approval and now have a date for November 29,2000. I could have had it sooner but my daughter just had a C-Section last week and she still lives with us and needed help. My advise is to study the home page and then get the form for registration on line and fill it out and get it in asap. This will get your insurance started. Then you can start working on your packet and accumulating information you may want or need. Beware of giving out too much informqtion about your personal address. employer ect. on the e-group. There is a disgruntaled post-op who horrases newcomers. If I can help you can e.mail me at mpowell6@.... Phyllis Kathyuncp@... wrote: > Well all I'm writing my very first email to the group.
