Hey, have any of y'all been reading some of the posts on the other forums? Yowza! I thought we were bad, but there are some real doozies over there. They are probably saying the same about us LOL.

I suggest you suck my bum. Well, not YOU.

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

Where am I? And what did I just do?

Where am I? And what did I just do?

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.

Didn't work.

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.

You can kiss my other cheek!

2) I don't trust your farts.

You're smarter than you look.

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!

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

Tara, hi and welcome. Hang out with us any time. I welcome information about your experience!

I just read the Nana thread and I have to say whoa, Nellie.

I have this one family friend who is a really loud and obnoxious shit-disturber. She loves to argue about everything. Some of her premises may be valid, but she bases her arguments on her opinion and rejects any information that doesn't go along with her beliefs. Also, she believes that anyone who disagrees with her is just uninformed, or hasn't done her research, or is stupid. I love her, but she exhausts me.

That's what the thread reminded me of. Of course everyone isn't that way. But I've been here a week and haven't seen anything nearly that fun with the sleevers. Yet. Mwa ha ha.
