This is a spin-off of the accidentally deleted thread "Imposters piss me off."

Every so often, I go over to OH, even though I hate it, just to see if anything useful has been posted. Afterwards, I mentally slap myself. Every. Single. Time. It's a damn good thing that I had my account there deleted. If I hadn't, I probably would have been banned by now. Either I read a post by SandyR (I try to avoid them, but some sneak through when I'm not expecting it) that makes me want to slap her and shake the people that actually listen to her or I run across a thread containing an online WWIII over some stupid thing. (Today it was one where someone had the audacity [gasp!] to say that they didn't feel a lot of sympathy for people who buy something they really can't afford, default on their loans, and subsequently have their possessions repo'd - apparently that didn't go over well.) :speechles

Every time I go over there, I wonder why I did. But I guess I continue to think that there might be some redeeming feature to the forum (every so often, a decent bit of advice gets posted). :phanvan

The plot thickens.........

There's a plot???

Teach ME to not pay attention!:faint:

Such a lively thread. I am so tired of regular LBT. I know it's necessary for people to do their research when thinking about the band.

How do you cruise the board? I usually go to new posts. But lately it's mostly people who are doing what they need to do, which is research the band. Where do people go who have the band and are just cruising along without problems go to get their daily dose of LBT?

I think one of the more amazing things about me having a band is that, after three years banded, I learn somethuing new almost every day......

....unlike some Band Practitioners. :heh:

Really?

So....

What do you think of Sondra Tabor?

No revelations here. I know the story.

So Wedall, do you just go to your subscribed posts, do you go to new posts, or how exactly do you find where you want to read LBT?

I know that I personally just have certain forums that I go to. I am usually in Rants and Raves, the Talk Lounge, Food, General Discussion, and Support. I just check for interesting sounding threads.

That's pretty much all of them!

You'll find interesting threads that pertain to you in all the forums. I spent the vast majority of my time in RnR and Talk Lounge, but I don't ignore the rest of the forums. I don't read every thread in them, but I do read the ones that sound interesting. You just have to find what works for you.

Just when this was getting interesting you guys go and change the subject. Dang!!

We could start offering links and details about Sandy?

Just curious...are you returning to Mexico for your TT?

Yes, I am. There is a plastic surgeon that works out of the same hospital as my band surgeon and he's doing it (Dr. Bello). My only issue now is if it want a breast lift and implants at the same time as the TT. Daily I change my mind and I'm not sure what I want to do. I've been to three plastic surgeons and keep getting different opinions about what happens to implants 10 years from now. Two in Mexico and one in the US.

Is he in TJ or Mexicali? I have not yet heard of him. I talked with some ladies who had already done their work at this years Bash, and doing the whole thing seems to be pretty common. I think if you're doing a lower body lift, that would be more involved, and you may not want to include the breasts for that surgery.

Well, you've said (at least, I think it was you that said it) in the past that you only wanted to do either one or two surgeries (or at least, go under anesthesia) after banding. If there's more that you want to have done, and you still want to limit the number of times under anesthesia, I'd go ahead and do it. I mean, there's always going to be advances in medicine. If you put off surgeries just because you worry about what may happen in the future, you'd never have surgery. And hell, you'll be in pain anyway, might as well go whole hog.

It's not a lower body lift, just a TT. I may regret it later but I think that will be okay. I have some problems with my thighs but I have never been one to wear shorts anyway. I only have problems with my upper inner thighs. No butt problems. Just my big fat saggy gut. It's my gut that is making me crazy and I can't stand to look at it. So since it is a TT vs. lower body lift the breast surgery would be doable. I'd rather get it over with all at once. So I really need to make a decision.

Another thing, the implants I want most docs don't use. I don't want those huge moons that stick out of my chest (I have photos of examples if anyone is interested) and I don't want huge cones either. I want something that looks a lot more natural. Dr. Bello doesn't like the implants that I want. He uses the moons. So, that's another issue.
