Just wanted to say Thanks very much to those that have recently had to have their band removed due to erosion and are still sticking around here for us to get information from. I think I speak for more than myself, but we are sooo blessed to have you guys still around. Things could have been alot worse and we are glad that ya'll are willing to share the experience with us and educate us. I wish you all the best in the journey's that you will decide to take and I know that each and everyone of you will Succeed!!!!!!!!!

Thanks again and Stick around, we would be lost without you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Kelly for posting this.........I know I sure do appreciate all the knowledge that our eroded friends have brought to us. You guys are the greatest.

Thank You Kelly

Your post is appreciated. I hope I can help others. I'm sticking around because I need all of you as much as you need me

Everyone here is like my family..I would not be where I am today without all of you and your support.

Kudos!! I agree..

I second what Kelly said. You guys are my buddies and I hope I can support you in any way I can. I feel a little like a war veteran and I have a little survivors guilt here. But I'm trying to channel that into making a renewed commitment to losing weight and being healthy.

I love you guys...please, please stick around!

Megan

I too am thankful for y'all sticking around.

Well said, Kelly. I totally agree that hearing from people who have had the worst happen is immensely valuable for all of us! And their generosity in sharing is MUCH appreciated.

LaMadam, Penni, DeLarla, GeezerSue, Rachele, and anyone I may have missed: I hope you'll go on sharing your experiences as you continue to meet and conquer your challenges in the future. We all have a lot to learn from you!!

I agree...thanks for your wonderful support. I hope you feel you still get good support from the board. Your experiences are invaluable. Thanks!!!

Kelly it is very thoughtful that you wrote this thread!! I am very thankful to all of you for sticking around too!!! You are all deffinatly still a big part of the LBT family. Never leave us... you are too valuable in so many ways to each of us!!!

Aww, guys you make me tear up. It has been a struggle and battle of late to come here and post. I will come as often as possible and offer my opinions and comments.

As Michele said, I need you guys as much as you need me. I need the support since I am flying blind now. HUGS to you ALL!!

Like you can get rid of me?

Kel, that was so nice of you

Beyond the information being invaluable, we just love you guys!

Thanks for caring enough to hang around with us and keeping us informed.

I want to ditto all of the above. It makes yous stop and think...plus reminds us to get the yearly check up.

I'll be the nag who makes you all get regular endoscopies!

Ditto from a hopeful future bandee! You folks are awesome!
