a troll is someone who comes on here just to diss the band...there's been quite a few of them lately.

I may not fully understand the definition myself. Maybe I shouldn't have used it, but just seems to fit here.

My uneducated definition of a troll would be someone who posts negatively about the band, and is very vague. You notice that we are all still talking about this, but the original poster aparently is no longer interested. Just seems fishy.

If this is legit, my deepest apologies. But without further info, I would have to say TROLL.

The poster has been very busy on the other post. She/he still will not give any information and is being nasty now. Oh well...

Ok, where is the person posting this thread, something sounds very wrong, even with me not having any fills, Ive lost weight. Its part of a diet you follow, and exercise routine. You have to work with the band. This isnt a quick fix. So, I agree, possibly someone just posted something to speak negative things about something they probably dont have. Cause if this were a true thread, they would be active in this thread. Uggh anyway. :biggrin:

What's a troll?

An Internet troll,, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion

Hi, sorry you are not happy with the band. Unfortunately there will be people who will not be happy with their band, so it does not offend me. I thank God that I was able to get it and I am doing well with it, but if someone else isn't, I do not condemn them.

You have to assume that if someone is very vague, posts one time then does not return they are most definately a troll. Not sure what it accomplishes. Perhaps a need for attention, even if it's negative. Like a misbehaved child that dosen't get enough love from their parents. They act out sometimes in a negative way just so someone will acknolwlege them. It's actually quite sad.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
