I go through almost every post, but some posts look shady and unreliable. Just wanted to know, I know every open site does. But some post on here are random, I alway look at how many posts someone has and the topic they choose to talk about.

Just an obvservation

Yes indeed there are

as kristin says, yup (and trolls too)

Yup there sure are. Spammers and trolls both.

What are trools? Lol

Trolls are people that will come on here, and make a WAY off the wall comment, "just to get you going". Some people can spot them right away, others feed them by responding.

O ok yes I guess thats what I have been noticing lol

I didn't have this site when I was waiting or losing wish I would have. Maybe it's my teaching background but I try to contribute honest opinions and help. There are days I absolutely have to say HELLO who is your DR. are you for real........

And then I look up profiles..

MY only wish is someone new would follow the threads so they would know a lot of what they are asking has been asked and answered quite a few times. THe old saying there are no dumb questions.............. somedays I think there really are. However having said that I either do not answer those or leave it to the sweeter folks.

I have been successful on this journey and I want that for every one out there with all my heart, but I will give whoever ask the facts as I have lived them and I was the one of the most rebellious , self hating ,people around and gaining control over this area of my life has been the best thing I have ever done for myself and I want it for every person who comes on and want help.

It's to be expected for the same questions to be asked over & over . It's just the way it is on any forum.

I sound stupid, but what is a spammer? I thought you had to sign up on this forum.

Don't tell anyone but Mis73 & myself are trolls. Noooooo j/k, but we've been accused of being one. I know I'm not one, but not sure about Missy, lol

Some people must have a lot of time on their hands... Going through all the trouble of signing up to make one post.... But I guess it takes all kinds

yes, there are trolls lurking about. Band erosion stories seem popular..... if its a horror tale about a lap band, be wary.

They get a kick out of scaring potential banders & newbies. If the story is way out there, most likely not true.

Yes, you have to be aware of stories that just don't sound right! There are people that get a kick out of scaring people. Best wishes. Karen
