Not to get anyone upset but lately I have been noticing negative postings on how the lap band has failed so many people or people are not getting and seeing the results.

And I understand that this website has been designed to place both positive and negatives venues.

But I caution you to be a little more senstive to the person that considering giving up because you have choose to walk away.

its Ironic but Negative follows Faster then Postive Attitudes.

I urge Someone today who wants to give up to stay on the Path and Dont Give Up Never.

If you dont see results then try something else, but keep trying!!

And One day when you get it right, then you will be glad that you did!!

What Works for Someone Else May Not Work For You!!

God has made each and Everyone Fearfully, and Wonderfully Marvelous, In Their Own Way!!

Love Each of You!!

Hope I didnt Offend Anyone!!!

Good post!

I havent noticed too much negativity on this site.

I try to stay away from the other wls boards because there is a lot of band bashing going on. Usually from the same few people.

I will be banded on the 19th and am looking forward to starting my new healthier life.

I feel a lot of people bash lap bands because they don't put forth the effort or hard work. It's a lifestyle change. You don't just get banded and miraculously the weight falls off. You have to watch what you eat and exercise. Some people feel its failed them because they are eating like they were and they now have the band and the weight is not coming off. Watch your calories, journal what you eat. It's a great tool to help you along with the band.

There are fanatics on both side- good and bad. I choose to be realistic. I have developed what works for me and I can and will stick with it.

Each person has to find their own way and hopefully I can support them in some way.

so true e1 is different and u have to find whats right for u and stick with it and watch ure portions and calories
