This post WAS NOT directed at any one person or persons .It was to say to other people who may question if there are successes and happiness here that....yes there is ! There are some negative ppl, as there are on any forum but do not think that there are not those of us who are happy and succeeding and enjoying our band life! That was all plain and simple.... 

Really? If you had no one in mind wouldn't really be a reason for the post now would it?

Just have the guts to mention these "negative" ppl by name! No big deal.

Maria, Psychomom didn't mention you or insult you in her thread, yet you insult her in your response...this might serve to answer the question you posted on your thread ....Who were you directing your thread at?  Why not name them...where are your "guts"?

Post Date: 4/25/11 11:32 pm WHY DO YOU PPL CARE?!?!?! WHY?! Why do you all constantly want to argue and INSULT me and say I am wrong b/c of MY experience???????? I drive a Toyota. I happen to like my Toyota. Now if I'm on a Toyota forum...............and someone starts a thread saying they HATE Toyota's b/c they bought their's NEW and it ONLY drives in reverse so it's a POS b/c it doesn't work as advertised.................... Do you ppl think I would care? Really??? Do you think I would go all NUTSO on them  like some of you all have done to me b/c of MY Lap-Band experience???????????? Do you think I would insult them and tell them NOT to post on the Toyota forum b/c they have NO right to b/c their Toyota experience is different from mine and most Toyota owners?! Do you think I would trash them like Jean and Naiomi and many other "support ppl" have done to me??? And an even more rediculous point............. do you think I would insult them b/c I personally didn't like their CHOICE OF COLOR OR FONT SIZE?!?!?!? Do you all not see how moronic that would be if I did that?! No? I didn't think so! I give up! FormerlyFluffy.com Enter FormerlyFluffy for $30 off the ObesityHelp conferences!!!

Why are we considered to be negative people when we are just sharing our own personal experiences ?

I am well aware that there are happy bandsters here, but sharing " our " complications does not make our post's negative. It make them informative with full disclosure so that pre-ops can be made aware of the things that can happen to bandsters that are not so " Happy '

Those people.. IE persons are plural and direct.

There is no LIST of people . I do not know where this idea came from . People/persons was used in a general way in a generalized statement meant to say that if anyone who comes on here finds it overwhelmingly negative to keep it in perspective . These posts are points of views and we all have them . Just because something happened to one person does not mean it will happen to us all.That goes for success and failure by the way and that there ARE happy, thriving ,successful people here . 

 All these negative ,flaming responses by less than a handful of ppl need to be seen for what they are .Just a POINT of view! 

this right here is what i honed in earlier & felt you had more to say about those naysayers.
read it again - "need to be seen for they are" .., well, while not intended to be argumentative - - it comes across that way.    

can i just share that this finally is a place for those to share problems.
my first complication came about in 08' & i was blamed / shamed into not participating ......and that was a ******g shame, because at best - this site should embrace those that have had problems & still worked it out.   

Yes ....the NEGATIVE ,FLAMING RESPONSES .... not the people. Hone in on that.  The responses need to be seen as what they are....POINTS OF VIEW. 

oh good ******g grief - your started this thread dear, anyone can respond.....i honed in on that.
