64 fills and a few unfills in 5 years - Is this excessive?

Jazzy


I respect Jean alot I read all of her post. I get alot of good information
from her. With that said I was just shocked how she handled this post its not her normal to me. Jean has been so helpful to all for the entire time I have been on this board. I still respect her but I wanted her to just read over the post again and see my point because sometime we go off on others not know what an impact it has made. I had no idea the history, but to me the question was either answer it or ignore it. We are adults not children. Normally I wouldn't have replied but it was so many others just responding for WHAT? It was like high school and it made me sick. I am not upset with anyone I just wanted them to know that they did
cross the line.

Oh, it exists.  She just has it set to private. 

Jean you really have a mental problem What''s your problem lady? Are you trying to provoke me? In saying really bad things about your looks and behavior? I am not going to stoop to your level, whey are you trying to discredit me? Do you wish you had a case with your band? You can't your ride a too tight fill and NEVER exercise without a band slip, believe it or not there are many of us that use our band properly.....

I will say this again STUPID EVIL WOMAN...it was not about Conservative fills, my fills were average not too conservative...but MY MAIN COMPLAINT is why I needed so many fills and that THEY NEVER LASTED for more than a few months can you get that through your THINK IGNORANT HEAD, and if you a woman of integrity why would you attack me in a post when I am down? You are the most evilest kind... Yes I AM SUFFERING I've gained a WHOLE BUNCH OF WEIGHT BACK because this...and I am hurting and can't exercise due to the weight gain and other issues..I am sure you don't care about that.

Nana, Just curious, but how much is a whole bunch of weight?  In any case, sounds like you might get more help/encouragement talking one on one to a counselor or therapist familiar with the band.  There doesn't appear to be too many sympathizers here to your plight. Don't care to know what the history is here, but I can see it's not good.  I hope things get better for you soon.

Cheryl, your response is bit condescending...I've never NEEDED counseling why would I need counseling for saline leaking out of my band...ARE YOU ABLE TO LOSE WEIGHT WITH NO FILL? If NOT I rest my case. I lost about 25 pounds BEFORE I GOT MY BAND, can I lose weight  with little to no restriction? YES... BUT WHY SHOULD I??? I'VE PAID BIG MONEY FOR MY BAND TO WORK PROPERLY AND I AM NOT GOING TO DIET.

What kind of history do I need to post  here? This not a freaking job, or school, this a freaking dynamic message boards, where people come and go...who NEEDS  a history should I ask the lap band board what to post here, I assumed you were more intelligent than you are, Jean probably needs a good history since she is trying to scam newbies into buying her book.

I am one of the most experience persons on here about band fills and complication and so I DON'T NEED HELP in that regards, I was polling people to compare numbers, the fill problems that I noticed with my band were not CLEAR they were subtle changes probably too hard to detect with someone not familiar with the band I've had it going for 5 years -- and sometimes the restriction lasted longer than other time, I've had my band now for 5 years with NO slip so I think I know what I am talking about.  

And how much weight I've gained back is NONE your business...

Regarding being dramatic with my post, in my universtiy I've learned that when communicating online you must always be clear and not be vague in whatever you post...so if anyone feels that I am being a "drama" queen perhaps they need to get addditional education.
 
I saw one of your posts with NO weight loss...Is this why you seem to have a chip on your shoulder like the rest of unhappy witches? FYI...early out I lost about 10 pounds per month with NO FILL, I did not get my first fill until 4 months later...I will scan this in information into and post it tomorrow., I think the problem is there are SO many jealous and catty women on this forum it does not make sense I would actually be embarrassed to attack people for posting things that have happen to them..]

I just asked a simple question and polled about how many fills people have had...and a bunch of angry catty despicable women turn this into a witch hunt....are you losing weight now??? If not maybe YOU should seek counseling....

I've never had to use anti-depressants nor seek a counselor in my life ,nor should I seek one when something is WRONG with my freaking band.

  If you feel that you've been receiving too many band adjustments, who do you think is best qualified to respond to that?  This is a multiple choice question.  Your choices are:
   a) my surgeon
   b) my surgeon
   c) my surgeon
   d) Ayatollah Khomeini
   e) Clarence Darrow
   f)  my surgeon

Jean, you skipped one! The list of answers sould read:

And Sandy would of course diagnose the problem as resulting from copious intake of papaya enzymes.

I have had a total of 6 fills in my 10 cc VG band. I have a total of 8.2 ccs in my band. Never ever had any unfills.
