THE ISLAND LAP BAND WILL SURVIVE!
I made ths first lapband post on thisI sland forum back in December, I read all the posts everyday just as many others do,I just don't respond as often but this is a great forum and I still enoy it and all the seasoned lapbanders who have contributed to making this island what is is . a place we can come and talk, about anything even laugh maybe a cry or two once in awhile .. I know it is an open door where others can come in to stir up trouble and comment but for the most part this is still a relaxing fun freindly,place to be for us .I simply choose not to read posts placed by anyone who is not a lapbander or who is here to just try and make others as miserable as they are .. This way there is no argument .. after all.. cannot fight with yourself! Lol .. also this way my Italian temper does not get the best of me it does seem to be working !! Hope we all stay banded together We are not only banded by surgery ,but by friendships We shall stand bandedtogether thru this journey in life..We have the strength ,stamina, indurance and intellignece to keep this Island what is is started here. for do not let one or two who do not even belong keep you from coming to your Island ! United we stand .. Apart we Fall~~ Long Live The Lapband~~
Adrianna.....
You're so right. We'll be banded together for life......
That's the way it should be. And I really hope that those who have chosen other surgeries or weight loss options have the same bond. We know there are no easy answers....it's a battle. For life!
I wish everyone well, and I hope the Island stays in tact.....
Arianna...
I personally NEED the support from my friends on this board...
You all are my extended family, and I need the love and support of others just to feel whole...can you tell that moving has taken it's toll on friendships...(or lack there-of)
I love you guys...and want to be there for you ...with whatever you guys need in the way of love and support
blessings, Debbi

We are friends. We are family. And our differences make us unique. So yes I will stay here because OH opened a whole world of new people to me, and I've made lifelong friendships. I also get a ton of support when needed, and I like to think I provide some goodness occasionally.
Rock on, Arianna!
