Saying Good-bye to all



Recommended Posts

I think alot of you are being mean. If you don't like what someone posts just simply move on to the next one....that is what I do. Why be so mean spirited about it? I am fairly new to LBT.com but, I think you should continue doing whatever makes you feel better Patty! =)

Kind of makes me think of the bullied that turns into bullies!

No one is being mean - Read the Rants & Rave - this is about the only place Patty ever posted on - nothng about her lapband experince - She wants to get pple to know God - well I know him - but I know him differently than she does and this whole rant rave sections isn't for me - there is just too much fighting on it - I come to lbt for lbt related stuff not about politics - religion etc - there is alot of bashing in this thread and Patty did her share of bashing in the name of God...

She's not gone anyway -

You know, I think that everyone wishes patty well. I honestly don't think that anyone wishes bad things for her or anybody else posting here.

I do think that some people got their fill of the right wing rethoric and that's why everything became too hot for the mods to handle. And they're right. When debates become personal, even in Rants & Raves, it doesn't solve anything and it can be hurtful. I think at least a couple of us are still reeling from some of the personal comments she made. And I think that's why things got out of hand and personal toward her.

Even so, we should all be above that and we should try to keep things cordial or at least civil between us. We need to discuss the issues, not attack each other personally.

After all, we honestly do not know each other. We don't know if we're good parents. We don't know why some of us had an abortion. We don't know why some of us don't embrace Christianity. We ONLY know what is posted. And since we're essentially posting anonymously, we only know what we read and there are people who intentionally incite loaded emotional debate. If we fall for that tactic and get all mad and hateful, it's on us.

Now back to your regularly scheduled forum.

I think those of us who knew her knew she would. She'll be back and tell us God told her to do so. That way she won't have to take responsibility for going back on her word.

I'd come back and see what people said, too. Part of saying good-bye is paying attention to the good-byes said in return.

Bye, Patty. May good things come to you. :(

You're both right. Goodbye patty and I hope you find a more suitable outlet for expressing your beliefs. Best wishes.

Nope, looks can be deceiving. They haven't been removed, just closed. Try to post on SOME of the political and religious threads. The ones that were the most lively. The ones that "heated up." The duller ones are still there but no one seems to be interested in them.

Thats just typical of the world we live in today! If I knew enough about computers I would start a forum where we could discuss anything, if you dont like it stay the bleep out! Dont ruin it for everyone. Your right it is very boring. I could care a less if I come on here again.

Well, I think we can still talk about anal sex in the powder room! And people have a problem with some of these sites on rants and raves! At least theres a warning over here!

Just for the record, Im not saying I have a problem with anal sex!

I already miss Patty. Patty, why dont you post on other threads, just dont do the religious threads?

Is it boring because the threads are being stopped or because Patty left?

Were those Patty's prayers that got answered or did Bob start praying in secret!!!!

Thats pretty good! Actually I like Patty. Even though I've said things about her I like her. I do think she's a good person. She just has different views and opinions and who am I to say whether hers are right or wrong. Because I disagree with some things, ok, most things she, ok, everything she says, in her eyes shes right. Thats one of the many things that make this country the best in the world.(I guess any country thats democratic). That leads me to my next question(which has nothing to do with Patty saying goodbye), If a country like ours is democratic, why be republican, its not republicratic?

Because a country run by democrats is not democratic, it is communist!

Well just to let you know, I wont be going anywhere! Ive spoken to god this morning on my way to work and I asked him for a sign(like I never do) to let me know if I should grace you all with my presence and he said, and I quote,"hell ya!!" So your all stuck with me unless Lil mis diva says otherwise. Ah sh&t, I forgot to say a prayer for you. Ill be back!

Just kidding Patty. If you dont come back(actually I think god has more important things to do than tell you whether or not you should come back on LAP-BAND®®. Maybe next time you should pay you internet bill on time!) have a good life, I know your a good person who means well.

      Hey everyone!
      I’m new here! Looking for some friends! 🥰

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
