Hi Jeanna, I don't have a clue about the comments that were made. What I did read was your post from yesterday and I just want you to know that you are as welcome on this site as those of us who have had the surgery. I just don't want you to feel like you have been attacked and persuecuted. What I know about most of us who are obese is that we are a very sensitive group of people. Don't take the comments to heart. Sensitive people often lash out before they get enough information because they are so used to being attacked that they think that they are defending themselves.
I believe that anyone with a food addiction is one of us. Wheather they choose the surgery, want the surgery but cant afford it, wheather they are on a supervised weight loss program or wheather they are just dealing with being overweight. We have all felt the same fears and shame. We all want the same things out of life: happiness, health and love.
Jeanna, Keep your head up. Not everybody on this site is pro-surgery and down with anyone with a different journey. Don't be chased away from this site by ignorance. This is obesityhelp.com and you deserve the same support as those of us who have had the surgery.CONGRATS ON YOUR WEIGHT LOSS!!!!! 41 POUNDS IN 2 MONTHS IS AWESOME!!!!
Hope to see you sharing your success and opinions on the board. And feel free to email me personally at anytime.
