I hate it when people post just to post.....

[luluc 6]

Okay, cuz I admit I'm kinda lost where the comment is concerned. I'm a bit slow.

really?

that's a shock - cause, i could be an idiot and figure this one out.

why hit the complication threads if you've not ever had one - but have a whole LOT to say???

alex just needs to make it a mod & then the collective puking in everyones mouth can be heard - even outside of TX@!

Have I done something?

Have I done something?

absolutely not - i'd address you directly here or FB

i'm PISSED - i'm PISSED that this forum no longer allows those w/issues w/the band to have a safe haven to voice those issue w/out commentary............while working up posting points.

i should just do what taps did and bow out - cause i have nothing nice to say any longer, let the experts not at goal preach on.............

If I've been a party to that, I apologize, even though I know you would address me. I'm not always very good at the tough love aspect when I DO offer honest advice, and I know that about myself.

As for the posting points, I'm guessing it has to do with the whole contest thing? I forgot that was going on. If that's somebody's intent, at the expense of others, I agree that is wrong.

Personally I'd rather make fun of myself and plain, and maybe Monkey and KC. Some of the stuff we read IS kinda funny, but overall I realize people have legitimate issues and concerns. And again, if I have been a party to ANY angst on your part, I apologize. I'll try not to contribute to the making fun of people's issues. I'm sorry if I've done that.

I also would like to voice an apology if any of my posts were inappropriate. As for the "seriously curious" thread, all of that was done in fun. If there's something else, please make me aware of the situation. Otherwise, hope everyone is having a great day.

Which makes me think -- DID Tap leave?

[gone 4 ever 6]

yes, Tap left a few days ago.

I am sorry for any unintended harm to anyone posting that I may have caused. I didn't mean to hurt you or anyone else intentionally.

PJTP I go Monday morning to get the thin needle biopsy done. Kat has helped to relieve my fears.

Lu you're right. I left LBT and only come back here and there to pop in and say hello. I have bowed out for the most part. I get really tired of people that have little or no experience with the band trying to give me advice.

My favorite is I ate a whole cheeseburger on post op day 1 I think my band slipped... Thats not giving me advise thats just plain annoying and stupidity. I only come to pjtp and try to steer clear of the rest.

Which makes me think -- DID Tap leave?

I believe so Beth.

Plus whoever the asshat is that feels the need to message Others on the forums and smack talk them for getting the band when they don't feel they were obese enough can go to hell. Obese is obese whether its 1 pound or 100 pounds over.

When you're at goal it's not the finish line people it's call maintance. Fills/unfills are still necessary NO MATTER what your goal weight is.

[BethFromVA 5]

Apparently I've not kept up on everything. I wasn't aware that Taps left or that people are having issues with stalker posters here. It may have been during the time I was dealing with my dad and in a fog.

Hey, Have you spoken to susan or any other mod? PM me details if ya want. We (mods) can make things better, maybe.....unless I'm part o' the problem. In that case, let me know. I can (as unbelievable as this sounds) tone it down.

Well, I'm sorry Brandy, but those nude pics don't send themselves to my inbox!

For me it was over the last atleast 3 months that I have left and just randomly check in.

I think the final straw for me was when someone here messaged my friend to give her crap about not being fat enough... if that's even an issue. Hell I wish I wasn't that fat to start!! But your height vs weight is all that counts... That and the doctors decision to perform the surgery. If you're over the set BMI you're obese no matter what your weight is.

Beth it wasn't you that say or didanything to make me go off it was just me stewing over how the forum has changed and how it's nothing like it used to be.

I understand Plain. I think everyone can hash it out by themselves... But I think that it will come to some leaving just because it seems that everytime one problem is cleared up another happens.

Nude Pics.... Man I hit send? Oops

[gone 4 ever 6]

PJTP...2 Benedryl= sleep! I should sleep good tonight!.

[Gone4Now 4]

I would love the person who thinks it's okay to harrass people because they're "only" a couple hundred pounds to PM me directly.

But, you know, those are the cowards that spew and run.

[kcmagu 3]

Ooohhh - they could PM me too (but only if Gloucester was standing right behind me)

Speaking of this - it's where I am now - and let me tell you I am a whale - flubber blubber and all!

That's a really shitty thing to do. I don't understand anybody's reasoning for that. I will admit, there are those who "only" need to lose 70 pounds, and I wish it was me. I have to lose more than twice that. But that is their journey, and this is mine. To me, to PM somebody like that is cowardly and chickenshit.

It's really pathetic that anybody would do that and make people feel like they don't want to be here.
