So I met this gorgeous young guy...

I don't get it

Wow! Hard to argue with success like that - although I am sure some will try!!

Kate

wow .....thats  all I can say .

Darn it girl!!!! NO PHONENUMBER:) ? WOOO HOOOO HE MAKES ME GET MOTIVATED!!!! LOVE MR POLLYANNA!!!!

You know, I have always stayed out of the *****iness that the lapband bashers bring to this forum but Lynn youre OBNOXIOUS!!! Seriously, why do you feel the need? Are you that ANGRY at the world?? Just because you are bitter and miserable and may not support the band, does that mean you cant give credit where credit is due? 8 years, no matter WHAT wls you have had, is an amazing accomplishment and thank you Jean for giving us bandsters an inspiring story because after having so many bashers around to disprove the success of the band, its nice to see the success stories. I think maybe Lynn is a little upset because having someone be so successful with the band is against everything she fights for on here!

I read both successful and unsuccessful stories on here all the time because I want to be as well informed as I can and maybe try to avoid any problems someone else may be having (unfortunately)....I dont think for one second that just because I have the band that its a fit for everyone.....but I dont feel the need to go to other WLS forums and rant and rave about how great I think my band is and how other WLS choices are bad because everyone has to make their OWN choice........stop being such a bitter woman and enjoy your own WLS and stop bringing others down about theirs!....

Ive seen many band bashings on here but this one is so obnoxious and unnecessary I just had to respond....

Thank you again Jean for being a positive influence on these boards and for an INSPIRING story!

You're very welcome, MizzRI!

Jean? A positive influence??!?!?!? Perhaps u have not read some of HER posts where she has insulted and attacked some of us on here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I suggest u go back and read some of HER posts!!!!!!!

   /ˌpærəˈnɔɪə/ Show Spelled[par-uh-noi-uh] Show IPA –noun 1. Psychiatry . a mental disorder characterized by systematized delusions and the projection of personal conflicts, which are ascribed to the supposed hostility of others, sometimes progressing to disturbances of consciousness and aggressive acts believed to be performed in self-defense or as a mission. 2. baseless or excessive suspicion of the motives of others.

Excuse me? Which one of us is it that posted they she has a history of mental illness dateing back to her childhood????

And then u PRETEND to be a Christian and post personal  insults at other bandsters. Some roll model u are! Lmao.

I just have to laugh at this......I am not going to go back to old posts because I would almost bet my last dollar that it was not unprovoked by something negative being said about us bandsters first......Since I have been on these boards, I have gotten alot of GREAT advice from Jean, Ive bought her book, and I find her story inspiring and it keeps me going to WORK MY BAND THE BEST WAY I KNOW HOW.......so yeah, shes a positive influence for me.

I have decided to take negative things in my life and make a positive out of them.....I am choosing to remain positive and keep myself around positive people because being negative will get me NOWHERE.  Listening to negativity from others surrounding me will only eat at my brain and cause me to become negative myself (I have been through that) 

The mind is a powerful thing......I feel better about myself when I am not drowning myself in a miserable pit and keeping myself there and trying to take everyone down with me.....Ive been there....not going back.

I pray my band works for me.....I will do my best to follow the rules and hope for the best.  If, for some reason, it doesnt work....then it wasnt meant to be FOR ME!...That doesnt mean its not for someone else.  Everyone does their own research on which WLS they think will be the best for them.....why do you guys feel like you need to be the ones to educate us on the failure of the band???  If I want to research that, I'll go research it myself!
