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

....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.

  • I'm having a very hard time understanding why three out of four guinea pigs have the first letter of their name capitalized, but the fourth one (cuddles), has the first letter of its name in lower cas

  • well, i respectfully disagree. I don't think its acceptable to do it. I strongly dont think that its ok to do it, and i do not think that someone who's doctor didnt tell them about PB's who comes here

Soooo, like... I ate a porterhouse and kept barfing while I was eating. I didn't chew well but I didn't need to, it was only a rare porterhouse.

I eat and barf, eat and barf, eat and barf. Sometimes I slime too.

Whatever shall I do?

O, i fergot. i don't have the band yet, but maybe u need ur rubberband filled?

Nonono.... staples don't count. Neither does rerouting everything. ONLY the band counts as not home grown.

Sheesh... don't you know anything?

Are you who I think you are on that other forum? Starts with an "A" and ends with Lau...? Did you talk to my friend Deb?

Oh, I feel like an idiot! THAT forum didn't enter my mind until I was about to submit this message. I thought you were talking about OH! Yep, that's me.

Deb is playing along with my story. She is the ONLY person that knows I am banded and that is how I know Dr. A. That explains my TT, etc. She isn't telling anyone I am banded.

I am AzA. I'm a Rev, don'cha know!

Deb is cool, she's really a neat person. First on that forum to admit she's banded.

She is a more brave soul than me!

Yep, I'm not sure I'd have the guts to ask on a board of mostly "normals."

I don't. That is why she is going along with my story of how I know Dr. A. She knows the truth. She is keeping my secret.

She's cool... I like her a great deal. I've been posting there for years. So has she. She's good people.

However, that board is farrrr more accepting of fatties or those that are not typical people. They are about as accepting as they can get. If I told them the truth, they wouldn't care one way or another. They accept me for what and who I am.

That's what is great about THAT board.

Yep, it's a far, FAR cry from OtHers. It's definitely a very interesting board.

LOL this is crazy??

BTW: is it better to get the band in Mexico or the states? My insurance won't cover the band, and theres this great surgeon that NO ONE has heard of in Mexico that says he will do it for $100 dollars! Is it a good idea?

Well get a fill, of course.

YES YES YES!!!!!!!! The cheaper they are the more they care about their patients. It makes NO difference that they have to pay $2K for the band, if they will band you for $100 they care about you MORE.

GO THERE!

Some docs make their own bands in their garage. They are superior to the other bands, go there fer sure!

YAY! Im so excited that I got your approval because going on the internet and getting advice instead of consulting a doctor as well is always a better and cheaper idea! Now I have to find someone to do the fills. How do they get it in there? Im afraid of needles!

Im still unsure thought...my friend got her band from a fancy doctor that her insurance paid for and she cant even eat burgers! Or frenchfries! or fried chicken? And she only eats 2 times a day and hasnt had a little debbie in months! IDK if I can handle that, I thought it was suppose to make you skinny no matter what? And you drop like 100lbs in a month!
