I need to quit drifting into the Lapband forum as well. This thread, along with "her" are pissing me off: http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/283027-no-more-lap-bands-in-my-area/

Talk about uninformed and judgmental.

That's the thread that set me off yesterday. I don't know why it rubbed me wrong. Not the subject of conversation....it was just the attitude. Good thing none of us around here have crappy attitudes.

Reading "her" post on that thread, my head started to detach from my neck. Then it nearly popped off.

The statement about "Bad doctors and Bad patients" was the kicker for me. OMG

:angry:

If I had the band? I'd be making an appointment right now AT THIS MINUTE to convert to ANYTHING! Just so I didn't have to be in the same forum as that delusional tyrant of anti Americanism and sound medical advice.

Wtf is wrong with that person. I mean I get its her opinion but come on does she trally believe it?!?! No one can even ask her a question without her "blocking "them bc they are dumb. Wonder why she is even there means she's a damn "dr" herself. Must be horrible to be around so many inferior people!! Gah I pray this gets fixed soon.!!! ;)

Let's face it - I thought the sleeve was insane until after six months of lurking on LBT I saw how many revisions and miserable people were there. A procedure with a massive complication rate and shoddy % EWL stats is being phased out by the market because surgeons and patients are doing research? Say it ain't so!!

And I'm sick of the "sleeves stretch" rhetoric. Yes, they stretch. MINUTELY and IF YOU MAKE THEM STRETCH. Ya know, with work, with regular overeating to the point of pain over a long period of time. But people act as if it becomes a damn football field if you slip up twice. Hardly the case.

Anyway, there's enough people on the sleeve forums I want to go away, so I don't venture into other forums as a general rule. I try to limit the stupid in my life.

Yes the sleeve stretch!! They all believe that over there (could they actually be listening and believing part of what this lunatic is laying down?)

the sleeve will relax.. Thank god, because you couldn't live your life with it being as small as it is in the first months.. It can stretch a bit more if you continuously stuff day after day after day all day long.. BUT even if it say, doubles?

Let's see where's gamergirl when I need her for math?? :P

85% cut out 15% left.. So if 15% doubles?? OMG 30% of your original size???

Oh the terror!!! :P

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
