Rob, I can't tell from your post if you are enjoying the carnage in a "man watching a catfight" sorta way, or being sarcastically ironic because you thought it was "too harsh" - it's hard to tell tone of voice sometimes. But I hope you understand that the person who called herself "Daphne" is a WLS nutjob whom many of us have been dealing with for MANY YEARS, on multiple message boards. When her posts here and elsewhere were brought to the attention of people who were familiar with her style of craziness, it was confirmed (her passive-aggressive style is distinctive). And of course there's the further confirmation by the location from where she was posting.
The following is of course MY OPINION:
And this woman is not only NUTZ and a thorn in the side of ethical bariatric surgery advocates, from EVERY WLS type, who try to correct the lies and undo the damage she does, but also is (at the very least, unethically, because she is LYING about and defaming other surgeons) recruiting patients to the practice of a surgeon who apparently pays her a bounty, and she receives payments from the patient to be their "patient coordinator." And that surgeon is not only not a "vetted" DS surgeon, he is not a DS surgeon at all, as far as we know. And if he KNEW (or should have known) that she is doing this, he is at least as guilty as she is, based on the legal doctrine of conspiracy.
What Michelle does is not "sad" or even "pathetic" - it is freaking EVIL. And if it's illegal under Mexican or US law (since she is contacting people in the US with her lying scams), I hope the authorities prosecute.
Remember - the goal of Michelle's troll posts was to get pre-ops to contact her (perhaps to avoid charges of solicitation) off-board and away from the view of the vets who know who and what she is, to ask about her mysterious surgeon, whom she refused to name. This was a SCAM to latch onto self-pay pre-ops and try to convince them to pay her to help them see a non-vetted Mexican surgeon.
