who is suggesting you change surgeon? just 1 case of a dissapointed patient happens sometimes dr. felding was very elegant and informative. the only thing i am saying that hunger is still a problem for me i was under the impression hunger would go away maybe it was what i wanted to hear.

these are typos can spell well enough you may be an anal english teacher

yeah, I think we got a hot tot on our hands here. I think Monkey is right....time for beddy bye, wittle baby! I would think that since school is in session, the kids would have something better to do, but I guess not.

drstan,

I do believe you would be more credible if you were to capitalize sentences and addresses, punctuate correctly, and try to separate thoughts coherently.

I do not doubt that you are unhappy with your band. I'm honestly sorry that you feel this way. I am surprised that you were given a band with so little weight to lose. I hate the fact that there is a surgeon out there that is giving such horrible advice.

Maybe if you could share more of your journey with us, tell us of your pre-op visits, we could give you more support. I believe you are in need of support and would like to offer you some. How can we help?

15 pounds overweight and they approved the lap band surgery.

The surgeon should be ashamed of themselves.

Thats a joke.

IF this is a true thread........

I sense a BIG cry baby. I am still eating and gaining. Duh.

No, that's not the only thing you are saying.I believe the title of your post is lapband = deceit and bullsh**t. Now if you have some legit comments / questions, feel free to fire away. But don't come on to a lapband site and take that tone. If you really are a DDS (which, in all honesty, I seriously doubt.....If you are, lay off the N2O) then do some research into how the band is supposed to work.

Serious questions / comments only from this point forward, K? Thx.

Exactly. I'm gaining the moment, cos I am eating too much of the wrong thing and not doing any exercise after sustaining an injury training for a half marathon (was running upwards of 50 km a week). I'm lazy as all get out and its MY fault, not my band's. My band is still doing it's job thank goodness though. Otherwise I'd have put on twice what I have. Sometimes its not entirely right to blame external things only (ie just the band).

No one deceived me on the fact that I'd have to work for the REST OF MY LIFE with this band. That its hard from time to time, but its a commitment we all make in having this surgery. If your Dr didn't tell you that, then he's not doing his job. AT ALL.

What's a troll?

What's a troll?

A "troll" is someone who comes onto a message board or forum (such as this) and says things to deliberately provoke people and cause drama. Often times they don't even believe what they're saying, and are simply trying to stir things up a bit and cause a frenzy of posts to be made. I guess they derive pleasure from seeing lots of people swarm in to say how wrong they are, how uninformed they are, etc. They just like the attention, however negative it may be.

This person's posting style and appaulingly bad run-on sentences tell me he's just a troll looking to get a rise out of other bandsters. :thumbup:
