New comers this is NOT for you.

This is for the "ladies" that are acting like junior high mean girls.

Now the funny thing is a stereotype mean girl is blonde skinny big ego....and except for the blonde, if that was us we wouldn't be on LBT.

We are here to ask, give, and receive from each other.

How about if you don't have something nice to say, SHUT UP.

The new people deserve better. And to the new people, don't let a few bad apples scare you off.

Welcome, I'm banjo257, I am waiting to be banded and I would love to give a pat on the back to anyone that is deserving, a hand to pull up anyone that has fallen, and a foot to, well you get the idea.

Exactly we have other things to do besides talk about other people in our thread.

Lol so because you did it in "private" that makes it okay? That's hilarious.

Lassie yes' date=' it is stressful. I would have done that without hesitation had she stated she had a problem with my posting. Instead the goon squad decided to attack me. I was not trying to offend. thank you for your well wishes though.[/quote']

Combative much?

Can't we all just get along?

And to all a good night!

This thread is exactly why I don't come on LBT much anymore. It's sad the bad turn this forum has taken .

Hi! My name is Julie. I am hoping that I am posting in the right spot for introductions. I am new to the group and I have begun my lapband journey just about 2 months ago. I have been to the informational seminar and consult appointment. I have my nutrionist and first psychological appointments on December 4th. I am 46 years old, 5'2' and weigh 200 pounds. Many health issues have crept up on me as my weight has crept up over the past 7 or so years. I take medication for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleeping issues and PMDD. I am the mom to 3 kids, ages 22, 19 and 7 (I adopted a little girl from Guatemala). I have been a special education teacher for about 20 years. And, I guess that's about it! I am glad to be here and looking forward to this new journey...I have a lot of living to do!!

welcome Julie I hope your journey is wonderful, Hugs

Hey Julie,

Welcome! I was a science teacher for 25 yrs, my favorite classes were my inclusion classes.

I'm not banded either. Waiting on insurance to ok it. This place is a grwat way to hear first hand what people have experienced. But remember the obvious, everyone has diff. doctors so everyone had different info. And opinions.

Enjoy your journey.

Hi Julie, Welcome to the forum! You will find a lot of inspiration, knowledge and support hear. You might want to start a thread that's strictly for yourself and you will find a lot more people to welcome you. It's ok that you did it here but you'll get more responses on a separate thread. Just title it New Here or something like that.

I wish you the best on your new journey, post often so we can get to know you!
