Gossip About The New Neighbors

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...

Holy Crap!!! The lapband "Poll Thread started by NANA" or whatever her name is. Is enough to make my brain hurt! Yikes I'm soooo glad I've not seen someone here like that! I'm also glad I'm a sleever and not on another form! :P

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 :)

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
