I have the shoulder pain also! I remember calling my mom 3 days ago crying cause I thought I was having a heart attack. lol. But the pain comes and go. I have actually chewed some gas pills and the pain goes away instantly.

Hi can you please forward me your idea! they sound amazing!

So I have been a member of LBT for a little over a month. Since then I have been banded and have received most of my knowledge about my procedure from this website. I have also been the victim to various forms or harassment and abrasive comments. These things deemed "okay" because profane language was not used but very insulting all of the same. Why would you come to this website and know that is about receiving and sharing your knowledge about this procedure but yet criticize someone who is trying to change their life? Are you really that miserable? Is life that tough for you? I may have been over 300lbs but never had to endure the "pain" of being fat. I am very successful for my age and although I was obese, I was content and happy with my life. This is simply for my health. Not to wear the clothes that I wanted..because I already had. Not to attract more men...because I already have a very attractive boyfriend. Not to do more things..because there was nothing that has stopped me from doing what I want. I have to chop up all the negativity to pure jealousy.... Don’t spend your life being miserable... Grow up!! Half of these negative comments are coming from people twice my age. Get a life...and get some professional help.

I now understand why your soo jealous of me... A little birdie told me that your not even banded.... Hilarious!!!!!!!!!! Oh your sooo mad and bored and fat and miserable...I knew I was going to be laughing at your ignorant self, just didnt know it would be so soon. :biggrin:

And yet you were the ignorant imbecile that started it all...

Congrats... I hope you get everything and more out of this procedure..

Thank you for posting this.. I use curse words to get my point across while some people feel as though their rude behavior is "okay" because they do not use profane language. The attitudes of some of the people on here is very harsh. We all have questions and I believe that if you want to answer those questions it should be done without attacking people and their character. I shouldnt be judged in the way I defend myself and nor should anyone else. I did not start my post with calling people "fat asses" and that is not what anyone should remeber most about my thread. Everyone that saw a problem with my response to these people that think they know it all, I cant offer you anything and definetly not an apology. My responses were not meant for you or anyone else that read that post. They were response to those who felt the need to attack my character.

No there was plenty of people that told me what the problem was and why I shouldnt be eating solid foods. They got their point across just fine without attacking my character. You and the pool girl just need to have a fat pity depressed party togather because that is obviously what your life consist of. Just because your twice my age it does not give you any right to tell me what you think I should do and be lucky that you called me ghetto over the computer and not to my face because you would have seen the gorilla come out of this girl :biggrin: Now since you like to make a negative comment on everyone that supports me and my decisions I will no longer dignify your petty responses with a comment. Have a good day and I hope that you lose all the weight that you want but when you dont and your still fat and miserable and "looking for those donuts", just know that theres this sexy "ghetto" girl from VA smiling and laughing at you.

Thank you so much... I just needed a little pep talk I guess... I really appreciate it.

And by the lack of pictures on your page and blog I bet your face is even less to be desired. Get out of my thread...and kiss my @$$----there...even less for you to desire

Came here and posted this thread for guidance and I did end up getting the information that I needed for me not to feel as though eating a piece of chicken is okay. I was not informed like most of you all seem to have been. I was fortunate enough to not go through any hassle at all getting banded. I didnt attend one seminar and only had one doctors appointment before my surgery date. Maybe I jumped the gun..maybe not...but when someone reaches out to you the best thing I think to do is infrom not crituque or act as if you know my situation.

..........hmmm

Thanks a bunch...

I was banded a week ago and I never looked at this thread...and I am terrified about what will happen if I dont succeed. I found myself losing the 21lbs that I have lost not because I feel full off of mashed potatoes and protien shakes, but because of pure will power! Which I had before the surgery...(I lost 40lbs on my own). I am concerned however that this was just a waste of time/money/pain. I hope that my surgery turns into a positive experiance but what if it doesnt? What if I am just as fat as I have always been and I cant eat what I want at all ever? I dont think that is how I want to spend the rest of my life....
