Hi,

Excuse me is this the LAP BAND PRACTITIONER’S UNIVERSITY ?

I am lost and cannot find my class…Lap Band practice 101.

Well I have not been here in a while; I came back because I was feeling blue.:cry :cry

Yesterday a friend told me that a group of “Friends” went out to eat together and had a conversation in my honor:tired

“Sure, she lost a lot of weight, but she took the easy way, she got that band crap” “Like that anybody can do it, how come she didn’t diet and exercised like everyone else” ”She is just f… lazy!!! (The biotch who said this is a size 16)

What the @##&*^&%$^%$ !!!!! Damn if you are fat, you are a pig and if you lose weight, you are a lazy biotch that took the easy road.

Like having the band doen’t take discipline and exercising!!! Oh I’m soooo angry!!!:o

We aren't the only ones who found her distasteful. I remember that she "moderated" my surgeons board "at his request"...

Right about the time she told me I needed to schedule a flight because I had a leak, I gave up on my surgeons support board.

Well! THAT sure was an INTERESTING LINK! :omg:

All I can say is "Wow". There are a lot of people out there very frustrated. And rightfully so.

That would require a recognition of flawed behavior.
Unfortunately, I've run into many people like that. Everything that happens to them and every time they get punished for something, it is always someone else's fault. They can't take responsibility for their own actions, and they seem to not be able to associate their own behavior with what's happening to them.

Hey I was proud of myself when I got to be a 16 (used to be a 20).

Why is it that sometimes as women we cannot support other women? I cannot imagine a group of guys saying. Hey Jhonny looks good, for sure he is wearing some spandex under his slacks. Or for sure he got a pecks lift or some %$^%$ like that .....

Because our society has basically forced us to become bitches and compete with each other. That's why we wear make-up, high heels, jewelry, etc. We've been programmed to believe that we, as the female of the species, must be attractive to males at all times, and that we are in direct competition with other females. What I would give for us to be like many animal species, where the male has to do all the work of attracting a mate and competing with other males.

When I was thin I enjoyed looking good. I loved the spiked heels, hose with the seam up the back, black dress... the works. Even if I was programmed that way, I still enjoyed it. It wasn't to attract males, I have one. I just enjoyed looking good in that little itty bitty black dress.

Laurend: You are right!!!

Maybe is not society the one imposing certain standards on us, maybe is us as women. We feel that we have to impress other women, not exactly our own man or other man, but OTHER women.

I have three brothers. My brother was saying: Where you girls see a big butt, we see beautiful curves. Where you see a "fat" girl we see a voluptuous woman."You girls think that you know exactly what man like, and the reality is that is you women the ones that are so freaking hard on each other".

So are we bad to each other or what?? I have tons of acquintances but only one best friend. Growing up my best friend was a guy.

I've never been thin, so I've always thought it was more work and downright pain (in the case of heels) than it was worth.

Oh, there was a time when I did fall off my shoes. :) But I still like looking good. I want to go back to that, and I will. 45 more pounds and I'm there! Well, I'll be close anyway. That's the goal I think will get me there.

I'm tired of seeing my reflection and thinking, "Big fat cow." I want to be proud of myself again.

It isn't for anyone else, it's for me.

Perfect. We all should be "doing it for me". Really, it won't work any other way.

Good Luck!

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person 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.
