Gossip About The New Neighbors



Recommended Posts

Wow...I missed this!!

I was once on the lap band site, in the beginning I thought I wanted that surgery. I found a lot of people were kind and helpful, but there were many on there trashing their band surgery and pretty much scaring other people. I got a little nervous over there :)

Reading back over my posts, it appears that I've been doing that for a long time this evening. Therefore I can only say your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries and try to redeem my dignity.

Fine. Fine. I have just had a heated argument about a King Tut essay with my 11 year old, and I just don't have anything else to give you.

Been out all day so CLEARLY have missed some drama!

I was a banded for 10 years... trust me, they have reason to be scary. When I was banded in 2001, they hid the vets forum (this was the Yahoo groups bandster days) so pre banded bad NO IDEA the trouble awaiting... I am glad to hear band patients are being open about the nightmare life with the band is for so many...

Please don't "band" us all together and think we are all the same. Some are nice, some are helpful, and then there are the others. Don't think we are sheep that agree with the "loud" ones.

I'm happy to get to know other people thru the more general forums.

I'm sorry Tara I see how that sounds.

I've also read a few other threads and they are helpful, supportive and caring. We are all in this together in one way or another. I for one was shocked to see that kina of overpowering person just be down right rude to her fellow Banders. I mean I can understand her point but it was gone about all wrong. I think a fight may have been what she was looking for. UGH

Anyway Hello welcome to the "sleeve" forms :)

      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.
