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.

I have just had like 20 hits on my normally very quiet blog.

I am really not *that* interesting people. Trust me.

Sooo you found out about my new SN then? Dang and I thought I was being clever. :faint:

I had a wonderful reply all typed out and then realized that it might be considered "baiting" if a certain other person saw it. Damn. It was good, too. Let's just say it contained references to being caught, family members, and random conversations with said supposed family members. :guess

Who marries for one or the other?

Get both the first time, and save yourself the extra wedding.

Where were your inspiring words of wisdom when my husband walked drunkenly up to me the day we met and stated, "Has anyone ever told you that you have big boobs?"
