I am new here so this topic may have come up before. But one of the frustrating things for me on any band forum (or in real life) is lap band recipients who seemingly know nothing about this piece of silicone that they had implanted in their bodies. I am not talking about the newbies who are trying to educate themselves. I am talking about ignorant individuals who know nothing months out of surgery. The band slip rate has gone up and so has erosion rates....(not to mention revision surgeries)....do you think maybe its because of some people refusing to learn how to live with their bands? There are legitimate reasons some have band complications that are beyond their control...but I wonder how many end up with problems because they are simply tuned out and in denial that they are responsible for their success. What started this rant is an individual on another forum who is doing something dangerous daily and when we all post that she should stop she says her doctor knows what she is doing and we are all liars, because we must do it too. Thats as specific as I am going to be...I have decided to pass all those threads by from now on....if they want to screw up their bands thats their choice.

If glitter phrases bother you, might I suggest not looking at them?

I suddenly feel like finding a new backpack and I am dreaming of the school dance tonight....

Oh! Oh! Oh! Let's have a sleep over and give each other mani/pedis! Then we can do facials and eat tubs of ice cream right from the bucket! :clap2:

Only this time, I don't want to be the one to have my bra frozen. That's just not funny anymore.

Who will do my hair??

I say we put CoffeeW's hand in warm water. What do you think? We'll wait until she's sleeping and then also put her bra in the freezer.

I feel so dang mature now that I'm 14~

As I wrote earlier, some folks dig in and help folks around here and others complain about the way everyone does the work. To each his own.

This is getting freakin' hilarious! :clap2: :bounce:

only chocolate ice cream - i cant have "white carbs", right wasa??

i LOVE glitter!!

you mean the one that was started to stir shit, the OP posted one more time, created all sorts of havoc and then requested the thread be closed...?

that one?

Seriously (just for a second, I promise) Why would someone do that.

Clearly, she had her say, why not let everyone else have their say?

The temptation is there for me to post my feelings and quickly have the thread locked, so only my opinion on the matter is there.

I know it doesn't work that way (which is why I have voiced my opinion elsewhere) But damm... I just don't get why some people are so, I don't know... Cowardly?

Shoot! **Tip toes away from the fridge and puts travelgirl's bra back in her duffle bag**
