My first official R&R...Bandsters who dont know a damn thing about banding

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.

No. They just freaking STINK!

It's like something special happens when he goes to bed, and they become supercharged or something.

I don't know. And I do give as good as I get. So don't worry about poor little Chickie. She takes great delight in Dutch oven-ing her poor old husband at 2am.

Yep, took me almost 9 months to get my insurance to approve and actually have surgery. But, on the upside, it gave me plenty of time to make sure that this was what I wanted to do and that I knew as much about it as possible.
