A FRIENDLY Request!

[Guest guest]

Hello PostOps!

I have a friendly request....and I hope no one takes offense to it but

it's very, vey important to me. Today I logged into my facebook and

myspace accounts after not going on there in quite some time and on

both accounts...I had messages posted on my wall asking me about my MGB.

I am a very private person.....no one....NO ONE that I went to high

school, college, ex-people, some family, some

friends.....anyone...knew about me having WLS. I share that info with

who I want to share it with...when I want. I was mortified to see the

messages posted up on my wall for everyone to see. I couldn't delete

the messages fast enough.....and since I don't know my way around

facebook well enough....I'm still trying to figure that one out and

figure out if the mesages are totally gone. I also received a private

message from someone on facebook asking what the MGB is b/c they read

it on my wall...but I'm sure that person will just google it since I

don't respond.

I'm sure for lots of you - this isn't a big deal....but I've struggled

all of my life with my weight and I'm finally enjoying not being the

FAT GIRL for now. When people comment on how great I look (from high

school) - I just want to enjoy it...and not explain how I had to

resort to having WLS. That's private!!

So....please please please - I beg you....please do not post any more

messages about my MGB with Dr. P, or ask me how much weight I lost, or

ask me about getting pregnant after having gastric bypass....etc. I'd

love to answer questions from people in this community but I prefer to

do it on this board or via private email, not on a networking medium

not related to this. Not everyone is as comfortable as the next guy

with their private info.

I hope this isn't taken the wrong way and I'm not pointing fingers at

anyone....and just requesting in general since this is the third time

it's happened and I just want to crawl in a hole and hide right now.

When I'm done crying my eyes out - I'll have to figure out how to

explain this.

Please & Thank You,

Jen Rock

Jen,

Please understand that there is no shame in WLS. It's certainly not an easy

way out, it's a tool that has changed your life for the better. MGB did for

me what I couldn't do any other way and that is to be healthy and happy. And

furthermore, I'm convinced that MGB is a FAR superior surgery to whatever else

is out there as I bump into the RNY folks who are experiencing all kinds of

problems, the greatest one being regaining weight very easily.

You have every reason to be proud of what you did to take control of your

life and health!

MGB 2003
