Life After Lap Band

 It's so good to hear from a veteran bandster :) Congrats on your maintenance.  :)

No! It works for SOME! You were one of the lucky ones, and I'm glad you were. However it is NOT fair to pre-ops that are researching the band to read you post where you make the blanket statement "It works". It does NOT work for most long term. And it does not work for many short term even!

Maria,  I have no intention in getting in a spitting contest with you.  When I went back and counted, I found that I used the word "I" 25 times.  There is no indication, intentional or unintentional, that I am making "blanket statements".  I don't speak for anybody but myself.    I also believe that negative feelings that results in SOMEONE SHOUTING produces harmones that cause weight gain and anxiety.  I chose not to participate.  I wish you well on your journey.

What you said in your last paragraph was " It works.". Well as you know full well, it works for SOME. It's a crap shoot.

And it's hormones, not harmones.
