MOANING AND GROANING

THIS IS TO EVERYONE ON THIS MESSAGE BOARD.  I KNOW I HAVE ASKED A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT PRE OP DIET,   THE TIGHTENING OF MY BAND, AND SEVERAL OTHER QUESTIONS.  YES, MY DR. DID EXPLAIN ALL THIS TO ME BUT I WAS INTERESTED IN OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME SIMILIAR QUESTIONS THAT I COULD SHARE AND TALK WITH,  AFTER ALL, I THOUGHT THAT WAS WHAT THE BOARD WAS FOR.  A  FEW OF YOU HAVE BEEN DOWN RIGHT RUDE TO ME AND ACTED AS IF I WAS A TOTAL NIT WIT.  HOWEVER, I HAVE FOLLOWED THE PROGRAM TO THE T.  I DID NOT CHEAT ON MY 2 WEEK PREOP DIET ,   AND I LOST 13 POUNDS.  I HAD THE SURGERY AND AS OF TODAY HAVE LOST ANOTHER 9 POUNDS.   I KNOW MY BODY HAS TO HEAL , BUT  SINCE THERE WAS NO CUTTING ON THE STOMACH,  I  WONDERED  WHY THERE  WAS NO RESTRICTION DONE.  I DID NOT ASK WHY, I JUST WONDERED. . I  HAVE THE SAME BOOKLET AS YOU ALL DO THAT WAS SENT HOME BY ME FROM DR. GIBBS. OFFICE AND I FOLLOW IT FINE.  IM  A COLLEGE GRADUATE AND SOME OF YOU HAVE MADE ME FEEL  STUPID AND UNEDUCATED .  NOT TO MENTION SOME HURT FEELINGS.  THEREFORE, I WILL NOT BOTHER YOU ANYMORE WITH ANY OF MY STUPID AND DUMB QUESTIONS AS THIS WILL BE MY LAST POSTING ON THIS BOARD.  KAREN, YOU HAVE BEEN A GREAT HELP AND A FRIEND.  ALSO, BLUEYED AMY.  YOU ARE GREAT SUPPORTERS.    GOODY BYE

I'm sorry that you feel that way.  A lot of us on this board had RNY and not lapband, so we may not all be able to answer your questions about lapband.  The people here really are a good bunch of people.  If a few seemed rude or unkind to you, they were probably didn't intend for their post to come out that way.  If I was one of those people, I am sorry, I truly don't mean to ever come across as rude to anyone.  Just stick around for a while.  I would hate to see you go.   Plus we could use some more people who had lapband around here. Congrats on the 9lbs!!
