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.

im SOOO glad you finally have a clean box chickie!!

thats ok ... 1/2 the newbies lurking on this thread right now are on my ignore list.

You mean, you are on their ignore list, dontcha?

They seem to go out of their way to let it be known that they are ignoring you.

And my box isn't squeaky clean. It just tidy now.

I am not new because I have had my band less than a year. I am not old because I haven't made it to goal.

That makes me a noldie

awww, chickie ... you're not a true dirty grrrrl ...

Wouldn't you like to know....

Damn, that made me snort! It's especially funny when the conversation that the person is referring to isn't even remotely about them. It's good for a laugh. :heh:

I love "life is quieter now that I have "someone" on ignore" or "I had to ignore them because they just talk to hear themselves speak" (how that works when you actually TYPE what you are thinking, I don't know... But anyway)

Makes me wish that I had someone running after me, quoting every single thing I say.

Damn, that made me snort! It's especially funny when the conversation that the person is referring to isn't even remotely about them. It's good for a laugh. :heh:
