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'm Bored...

Apparently you were interested enough to find a graphic to post and then "act" bored. Good one. I buy it.

But then again the beauty of R&R you can be as rude as you want to be.

If your Hasselhoff was'nt directed at me then I guess it was the bitch flakes. If it was then you deserve it. I mean no one should just go around shoving Hasselhoff's on people, we do live in a civilized society.

What is up with his face? He looks as bad as Kenny Rogers. They have all that money, they can afford a decent plastic surgeon.

I was thinking more along the lines of Wayne Newton or the "I know toasted" guy.

There are people who don't like David??????:faint:

I hear Germans love David Hasselhoff.

I am newly banded and have been on this site researching for a while before I even had the band....i do agree that there are just some people that don't know what they chose to do fully. Seeing posts of people that think the band is a magic tool is annoying i agree. When i was at my pre-op class i was amazed at some of the people's questions they had just days before surgery that were truly questions that they should've been asking months before deciding to even get the surgery. I've wuickly learned that it's not my thing to read posts that just are so ridiculous and that are extremely negtive when it's the individual that should've been more educated. just ranting :cursing:lol but everyone else is a great support:thumbup:

I love David Hasselhoff.....but then again, I'm part German.
