Negative Nancies Need NOT TO RESPOND

After all this...I AM STAYING! Its quite obvious OH needs more postive Pollys! I just keep blocking the ones I dont care to read anymore of their BS...OR them calling people Angry FAT GIRLS! Ill stay and stay positive!

Thank you to everyone on this post who put in the time and effort to state their opinions! :) 

I am so happy you have decided to stay. I like having you here. 

I for one don't think anyone should leave.  We all have the right to voice our opinion as long as we're not being bigoted.  And since I think my comment to you in another thread had something to do with this post, I feel the need to reply.

I don't consider myself a negative nancy.  I had a negative experience with my band.  I  LOVED my band for two years. I never thought I would ever say anything negative about the band and I still don't feel I'm a band basher.  I think it works for some people, I just think its the rare person who gets to keep theirs long term.  I know several, my surgeon being one of them, and they're lucky, but I believe that's a lot of what it is...luck.  You can't say my two band slips is either surgeon error or user error because my surgeon is one of the premier band surgeons in the country, and I was the model band patient.  And yet here I am, revising to a sleeve.

And after all of this, I still won't bash the band.  But I will continue to come here and post my experiences and voice my opinions because I've been there done that and people who are looking into WLS need to have all the facts...good, bad and ugly.   I'm sorry if people only want to hear positive experiences but I will be here to share mine.  I hope you never have to experience what I and many others here did, I wish you all the best. 

Hi Michelle...My original post had nothing to do with your posts at all:) I havent blocked you and Im not at all bothered by the way you post things...Your posts are NOTHING like the posts I was refferring to exactly:) Thanks for you input!

I would really like to know if it was my post.

I'm a "newbie" and had considered leaving for the exact same reason. However, I've decided misery loves company. Good luck on your journey.

Your sooooo right...Darn! My post just gave them what they want! Misery sure does love company!

ya the band really sucks dont get it....wah wah wah........all the nay sayers start your own board and go there, in 8 months I have lost 100lbs and I have had no issues, every surgery has its own set of problems so to you nay sayers if you hate the band so much saty off the band board we dont need your daily rants of how terrible the band is. Enough.

These posts are always so amusing. Hey it's the internet folks we all get to voice our thoughts. The only ones who get to make the rules are OH not us. I for one want to see it all, the good, the bad and the ugly. If you don't like someone block them and then read the rest with caution because like I said it's the net kids! So let's all pull out the big girl panties and get over it, no one has a gun to your head to make you read. I'm an adult I don't need anyone censoring what I read, I can handle it, I'm a grown up. There are so many really important things going on in real life why let stuff like this get your knickers in a knot. I for one have bigger fish to fry. Carry on children.
