....like when clearly the post has no relevance or adds no value to the OP's question or concern.

Like this:

OP Question: I am having trouble finding a good fish recipe I like...can anyone help?

Response: I hate fish! Fish makes me gag!

Can someone explain the purpose of this? I mean, if you don't like fish, then why dont you just move on to the next thread? Who really cares what makes you gag or not gag???? I know I don't.

YAY, for you, Susan. That's good news.:thumbup:

I wonder are my kids on some site talking about me like this? I remember making them get out of bed just to come and change my channel in my bedroom. Does that make them "remotes"? :wub: Trust me, they already have told me that they are going to put me away in my older days, thus, I got a lapband to stay healthy and stay away from them. :biggrin:

I always tell my mother/parents than I'm the child that will be living in the south so they need to be nicer to me since I'll probably decide on their nursing home!!! That smart ass bought me a finger towel with that basic saying!

"But, hey...this is why I had a kid...to torture, torment and embarass until she runs away. ...Right?"

i had mine to fetch me stuff....like my remote if i left it on the table.

I had mine because I literally cannot get enough of making sandwiches.

Ok I admit, I'm only having a kid so I have someone to do the dishes and mow the lawn. :thumbup:

Glad to hear it fixed it self Susan!!

Susan I am so glad to hear your band is back in place. I am glad that didn't take too long!

Yeah Susan!

And YEAH!! It's Friday...only one incredibly dull meeting to survive, and then I can leave.

Yeah, it's Friday, and the student that gets under my skin is absent today.

It's Friday and I'm going to ride a train through the forest and have a free lunch.

I'm posting to tell you all what just happened to me and my Band!

I went in to see the doctor for a fill (have been hungry lately and the weight loss stopped). He gets the needle into the port and discovers there is NO FILL in there! Again. This is the second time this has happened to me. So he decides it's time for an X-ray. He wants to check for a slip and a leak. Well to make a long story short, he injects 3 cc's of contrast (I have a 4 cc band) into the band and I end up in a CT scan (not flouro, not just an x-ray, but a darned CT). He determines there is no leak, no slip. He leaves the 3 cc's in there and sends me on my way.

Well, I'm instantly not hungry and my DH and I were on our way to meet friends for drinks. I grab a Slimfast and I notice an immediate difference in swallowing. I can't take a big drink as it's uncomfortable, but manage a few sips. I have an drink at the restaurant and I notice it's tight, but I'm doing fine. Until 2 am. I wake up with the worst pain in my throat and stomach. My throat feels like it's on fire and there is a sharp pain in my stomach that comes in waves.

Long story short, I can't tolerate it any longer and at 5:15 am, he takes all the fill out. All of it. I feel better of course, but he says I can't have a fill now for at least a few days until my stomach settles in case of any damage. OMG!

So, here I am. Tired from being up all night, frustrated and sore. I just don't get what's going on with my band. He determined that he must be "missing" the port when he's giving me my fills. Ugh.

So that is my post just to post...my rant for the day. Thanks for listening. I know it's usually funny around here, so sorry if I killed the mood! LOL

Sorry to hear that Turler. Sometimes I wonder if I might have somthing strange going on with my band too. One minute I'm restricted, the next I can heat a horse.

??

I hope your stomach is okay.

Oh Turler, that must be very discouraging! I'm sorry this is happening to you; I hope when you do get a fill it is successful.

it's friday - right? & 5 o'clock SOMEWHERE!!!!

can't get to BBK's website to vote - tried a couple times today & get a IE error msg....must be this damn Vista...:thumbup:

Oh man Turler, well at least you know now that he just has to hit that darn port and you'll have restriction!

I'm posting to say I've lost 1.5 kilos in the last 10 days after having struggled with my fill level after my slip and total unfill a few months back, and putting on 5 kilos in the last 2 months.....I WILL get to goal darnit!

...the next I can heat a horse.

Ewwwww but why would you want to? :thumbup:

Turler - very sorry hun. Stories like yours are good for me to hear so that I know what I'm getting into in, gasp, 28 days.
