Read and learn what happens when you don't comply with DS lifestyle requirements

Walter ordered the vites :) As long as he's doing what needs to be done we won't have another dire warning for newbies (teasing you a bit Walter). Listen to these ladies out here at least till you get your levels and then ask what they would do. They've watched friends die listening to ignorant docs, I'm so far from perfect it isn't funny but I do know these ladies got my back.

We've also been putting up with Walter's persistent idiocy for the better part of a decade.
 
How long does a shipment from vitalady normally take. I also quizzed my outgoing endocrist on the d so he is doubled his RX to 300k and will specify dry.
Shoprite pharmacy carry's a 50k dry behind the counter, $18 for 4 tabs.
I like Vitalady much better.

There is Prescription Vitamin D and there is OTC DRY Vitamin D. Insurance often pays for the Rx type, so itcould be free or very cheap to some of us. But it is worthless to all of us. All we accomplish is that we boost the economy.

The OTC stuff is not covered by insurance. But it improves our health.

You choose.
 
see here is what I cannot comprehend. When we get up on that table to be dsed, we agree to a lifetime of protein and supplements. It doesn't matter if you go into denial and live off of hohos and pizza and regain it all....you/me/we HAVE TO HAVE the protein and supplements forever and ever and ever and ever....no matter what.
 
OK, this may be a bit unusual for me, because I don't suffer fools gladly, but you need to remember that Walter's medical conditions are a bit more complex than usual - he also suffers from diabetes insipidus, which has nothing to do with type 2 diabetes, and requires that he is monitored closely by an endocrinologist who understands that condition in particular. Finding someone who takes his insurance willing to learn about the DS too is a challenge - but the DI not properly treated could kill him faster than the DS.

Nevertheless, having said that, Walter, I too am fed up with your manner of communication with others - as I have told you more than once in the past. Your refusal to review and correct your posts and thereby make it easier to read and understand them is beyond annoying - it exhibits a lack of consideration for your readers and people whom you are asking for help that is rude and insulting.

What the fuck is an "endcrist?" If you mean an endocrinologist, WRITE IT OUT! Your grammar and spelling are atrocious, and there are plenty of tools available to you to fix that - write your damned posts in a Word document, let the program check your grammar and spelling, and FUCKING READ WHAT YOU WROTE and fix the gibberish before you post it!

Your cheapness is well known among the DSers Walter - cheap to the point of stupidity. With your medical conditions, you should have had your DS as a self-pay years before you finally got it covered - who knows how much irreversible damage you did to your body before then? You have been told over and over and over again that you are doing things wrong with supplementation, and how to fix it - but you insist on waiting until you can convince a doctor to prescribe something WHICH CAN'T BE PRESCRIBED. This is ASININE!! Yes, you have now fixed at least the vitamin D - but sheesh, how much yelling at you did it take?? Look at how many people have felt the need to take the time to write posts in response to your dumbshit posts! You even got Larra annoyed enough to snark at you, and she NEVER gets annoyed (in public).

And finally Walter, it should be clear to you by now that you often don't seem to understand how to take care of yourself and your DS properly, yet I see you posting all over the place with "advice" to others. You seriously need to shut the fuck up - you almost NEVER give useful advice, and instead, give WRONG advice which makes the situation worse, because it confuses the situation. JUST STOP IT! Admit to yourself that you don't know enough to help, and resist the urge to give advice to others.

Based on your behavior over the years, you are like a doddering old uncle - you annoy us, you worry us, and while we care very much about you and your health, and admire (in some ways) your persistence, you piss us off when you continue to behave in the same way year after year, message board after message board. You need to start paying attention to what you are told here, try to actually LEARN something rather than asking questions and ignoring the answers, and you most DEFINITELY need to stop posting misinformation, because most of the time, you get it wrong.

I'm sorry if this seems harsh Walter - but you NEED our help, and we need you to be a responsible and considerate citizen on the message boards.
 
Walter, you've pissed off EN, Diana AND Larra. Pretty sure 2 out of the 3 had you blocked, and they UNBLOCKED YOU so they could give you advice THAT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE.

If you're not going to listen to sage advice, stop asking for it. Stop wasting their time. They could be helping more receptive people.

@DianaCox , I don't think Walter knows Word operating system. We're lucky he can type with two fingers. My husband would not be able to post better than Walter, and my husband is effing brilliant.
 
I don't have Walter blocked and I'm pretty sure Larra doesn't either :) I usually only block stalkers. But if Word isn't an option, at least he can draft his responses in an open email - my Outlook program attempts to correct some of my typos at least. Whatever he does, he needs to improve the quality of his communications, both for content and style, because it is just too much trouble trying to decypher his posts.

Currently cowering in corner over typo rant.



(Remember, please, that I am so old that our HS was arranged with four "levels," tracks based on test scores. We were College A, College B, Business and General Education. IOW, those with the highest test scores were not taught typing. We were busy with science and Latin. Of course, they could have cut the religion classes and we ALL could have learned to type, but...NOOOOOO...brainwashing was more important.)
 
No no, I'm not pissed off with Walter. Just frustrated for the same reasons as everyone else - the repetitive ignorance after literally years of posting and (I hope) reading on these message boards, the multiple attempts to get everything paid for when it just isn't always possible, and sadly, the challenging, sometimes incomprehensible posts. So I'm frustrated. And worried. but pissed off? No.

Walter, I'll tell you what I tell pre-ops considering the DS, even though you're far from a pre-op. I tell people they need to be convinced and committed. By this I mean convinced both that bariatric surgery is right for them and that the DS is the right operation for them. By committed I mean that with whatever operation, there is a commitment involved, and it's really a commitment to yourself. With the DS, we make a commitment as pre-ops to do the things we need to do to maintain good health with the DS. It's NOT ALL about weight loss. There is no value in dying thin. You don't seem to have made that commitment to knowing what you need to do to maintain your health and then doing it. I'm encouraged that you have ordered the dry D and calcium, and hope you understand that this is a lifelong commitment.
With other bariatric operations, it's more about commitment to a low calorie, low fat, low carb diet for life ( and some vitamins and such as well). That was a commitment I couldn't make. So I took on the nutritional commitments of the DS, and so did you. That means paying for most of all of the supplements out of pocket. So be it. It means understanding this stuff enough to know when a doctor, even an endocrinologist, gets it wrong. That's what we signed on for, and I know Walter is up to the task if he just makes the effort.
