So Kelly, what you're saying is to only suspend ONE person as an example? Did they pick straws to decide which one?

Kelly, before you start kicking everyone off that's involved I would ask that you read thru the posts carefully. There have been a lot of people whose name appears over and over and over again.. Not because they have been posting mean and hateful things, but because mean and hateful things are being posted ABOUT them.

People are sick of seeing my name. I am sick of seeing my name. But I am not attacking anyone, nor am I being insulting or cruel, nor have I broken any LBT rules. I am simply asking someone, anyone, show me where Ive been hurtful or cruel or broken LBT rules and I will take responsibility for that.

If by that you see me as someone "involved" then I guess that is your right as a moderator to say so. But I really didn't appreciate seeing you say I should take my followers and leave. I have been strongly repremanded by a Moderator for even suggesting that someone please go on and leave quietly after they had said they hated LBT and were leaving but remained on the boards ripping people apart. (sound familiar?)

I am only reading this thread, because it was NEW when I just logged on. Then I realized this was the reason why the August Gone for Good Club thread was gone when I returned after a vacation.

:) :) :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

I feel so bad for CanadianSunshine, who took on a big job as leader in August, then had this mess ruin her month. I haven't seen CanadianSunshine post since this happen, and I would hate that this caused her to leave LBT. Likewise, there are many who are scared enough of the Internet to start, that they would leave without saying a word.

As the person leading the September Gone for Good Club, I ask everyone to keep their non-weight issues off that thread. The Club has been a lifesaver for me as I am sure others on LBT. We need to be positive and focused on the GOAL.

From what I can see, everyone involved in the mud is on LBT -- even if they had to create a new name and profile. Which makes LBT security suspect. So be careful about the personal information you post, if you are thin-skin.

This is the first day of a new month. Why don't we all take a long, hot bath and come back with this behind LBT and commit to a positive attitude.

I left Obesity Help, because there was so much bad behavior. We all are wearing big girl panties (that we hope are shrinking in size), so let's stop the playground behavior and support each other.

LapBandTalk is a great site. I absolutely love everything about it. I have lost 74 lbs because of EACH of you. And I need EACH of your support to reach my goal.

Let's move forward.

I know what needs to be done and it is to ban everyone involved but, do we really want to start kicking people off a board that could really be useful?

Please ban everyone, it's only fair. I don't know any of these ladies but if you ban Fitter, you MUST ban Photo Nut or whatever the hell her name is. She must go too. She is not innoncent and she has done nothing but fuel the fire IMHO. This isn't a popularity contest, you have rules for this board now live by them please.

Hi,

i just posted this on another thread and wanted to add it here as well:

Hi Beacheegirl,

I dig what you are saying. ITs been all drama and soap opera here. I have been coming to this board for about 3 years now and I personally know Lisa and about another dozen bandsters personally. Had drinks with them, visited them at a Vegas Bash, celebrated NSV's, commisurated with eachother, suffered together etc... You have to understand this kind of bond. Some of the new folks (or quasi new) really need to appreciate the kinship that some of us had that really got this board up and running and spent lots of time helping those who needed help both with tough love and also kindness.

Delarla (Lisa) rocks. She is a true friend to me and many others and she has been ousted wrongly. There are some folks here who should get the axe, but they haven't. The post under the guide of being helpful, but their tongues are double edge swords and they continue to fuel fires. If it were me, I would also defend my position. I would never let anyone walk on me or talk poorly of me.

If it wasn't for this board, I never would have been as successful as I have been with my band.

I got wind of something going on but had no idea.

I spend about 1 hour a day on this board.

I never saw any of the posts in question. I wonder if most of us never even knew there was a verbal rumble going on, or if we stumbled on to this stuff, just went to another thread. I read this one because I saw PNut in the title and she's always had great things to say.

I could be wrong, but my guess is the people who engage in this brouhaha either directly or by just reading are the minoirity.

Most of us just want to learn more about being banded.

Hey, Jacqui, Lisa has been banned again. But, I am sure she will be back in some other personality. How many did Sybil have again?

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
