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.

There's always tonight!

Ohh that's so true. I am dying to have my own sparkly glitter message.

yeah but you are in onederland so who really cares ... ???

you rock!

Thanks! I am so way excited about it. You will get there too my friend.

OMG -- I really wish I had one of those Body Bugg things -- it could tell me, right?, how many calories I just burned --

ROFLMAO at ya'll.

-- Including my dash for the bathroom because I was also about to

ROFLMAO&PIMP!!!

I'm just REALLY sorry I missed the live action last night! :pop2:

WASA, do you still have my digits? Gimme a holla if there's a repeat performance!

I'll come prepared!!! :popcorn:

How did this thread get so outta control while I wasn’t looking??? Geez, you don’t check in for a few days and look what happens when y’all are left to your own devices! :eek:

Right... and rum is a clear liquid.

It is? Is this where I've been going wrong all these months?? WTF?? Time for me to get out there and find an ABC store! :beer:

My picture is no longer there because it made others feel "Less than Successful"

Heaven forbid we celebrate the successes of others…but no, we must gnash our teeth and stomp our feet and curse the very existence of those who have achieved great things! Boo hoo hoo! I wouldn't have removed the picture. Be proud of what you've done. Those who are green with jealousy just need to get over themselves!

You know when you get there. Suddenly you are always wrong, you don't know what it's like, and you become self righteous, condescending and obnoxious! It quite fun, really!

It's fascinating how all of our experiences and background knowledge suddenly vaporizes and becomes meaningless in the eyes of some who choose not to heed such sage advice! :lalala:

And a side note: Don't slime with anything that has a buffalo sauce cheese spread on it. Just not friggin pretty and it burns. (Cause I'm the dumbass that just did it!)

I am SO totally grossed out now—maybe having supper tonight isn’t such a bright idea any more???

nahhh ... first marriage is for the sex. **wait** what happened???

Man I really missed the boat on THAT one, too! I’m holding out so I can join the “second marriage is for money” club! :car:

And the charmers who leave messages on you blog, and PM you to tell you how they are concerned that you are setting a "Skinny Standard that is impossible for the rest of the board to live up to"

Are you kidding me? Who has the time to do something like that??? :noidea:

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.

Laurend—behave yourself, now! Besides, the "baiting" scenario shouldn't happen ever again since all of your posts are being blocked from those you offend ….right? I'm just sayin'.... :biggrin1:

You should've been here last night. It exploded. Just about every time I'd check the thread, we were on a new page. It was great. :biggrin1:

That will teach you to log off LBT! During the thread party we had a PM party as well. :car:

The Mean Girls are upset that people are acting like high schoolers?? Uh oh, time to break out the glitter phrases girls!!! LOLOL (that always shows them!)

I guess I'd refer you back to post #179, you know... the post you declined to respond.

Some people whine about others helping while the others dig in and help. Which side are you on?

Oh wait, I've read your posts. I know.

AND A SLUMBER PARTY!!!! :car:

**sigh** Reminds me of my early days online -- back in '96 or was that '95? I forget -- some really clever chat rooms I was a party to....where the wit and banter were par excellance and loser and creeps were shown the door.

(and Nana grows nostalgic:rolleyes:)

Any chance of a repeat performance??

(can ya'll tell I'm avoiding work??)

Nana...

We would need an annoying yapping poodle attached to our collective ankles to get us going again.

Where is ... Oh, never mind.

And they've shown up! Don't y'all realize that all you are succeeding at is just lending creedence to what WASa's been saying? Little yappy poodles is about right, methinks. Neutered ones at that. :guess
