Maria,

I have a question for you.  Actually I thought I asked in another post.(I'll have to go look)

Anyways,

When I met you at the OH Conference in Atlanta, you had just had your surgery.  I want to say it was within a week.(would that be correct?)

Sandra

When I met you at the OH Conference in Atlanta, how many days had it been since your surgery?(I'm thinking it was within a week..is that correct?) 

I just know it was very soon after your surgery and you should have been on liquids.  

Maybe your problems with the band started when you were attempting to eat from the buffet?  It caught several of us by surprise who was in attendance.  And you had the same attitude then as you do now. What a shame.

You don't try to help people, you rant.  Honestly, it goes beyond normal. 

But my point in this post is....with all your rants on this board...it's only fair to call you out on something as important as the above.

Per the info on this website, the conference was Nov 6-8 2009...

Not sure about the conference pictures date, the conference was November 6th.

I'm not going to go back and forth here.  I stand by what I have personally witnessed with Maria.

I'm just really burned out  watching this train wreck on the site to be honest. 

It is a challenge to have any kind of reasonable conversation...have you checked out the new group for failed bandsters?

www.obesityhelp.com/group/failed_lap_bands/discussion/

Yes it was Nov 6-8th and her surgery was on the 3rd??  What did you observe?

I'm not trying to be mean here but you said you was tired of watching the train wreck then why bring back a post that is what 6 months old ? All that is doing is asking for more trouble .

maria will be maria you know that so why continue to argue you get no more on the matter but keeping these threads alive and all this BS on front main page at the top where everything else gets ignored because of the bickering  back and forth between a handful of people.

If this is to help newbies sorry if if I came into this site I would high tail it out of here , its not helping new people with these argument threads going on all it does is run them off.

We now have vets not posting that much because of all this and the newbies need them vets to post .  I need them vets to post I'm not no newbie to all this but I'm sure as heck no vet either and I need their support and guidance through this .

Arguing back and forth dont get you no where , all it does is keep the stupid arguments going and less and less people posting.

You all want the old timers to post to prove how the good the band is well its not going to happen like this because I sure as hell wouldn't post on this site .


Im not going to come back and defend myself and get into all this mess but Im also getting sick and tired of when I come onto this site the first thing I see is these stupid ass arguments that are a no win win situation.

Keep fueling the fire then the fire never goes out and that is exactly what these damn threads are doing they just keep burning and burning beacause somebody has to have the last damn word.

It was these two that resurrected this thread right ?

Right on, Steelerfan

I brought it back, but not for the reasons you suspect...I was looking for some people who are on my friends list that haven't been on the board and responded to their posts on this and on a couple of other threads asking them how they are doing....it brought the thread up.

When I saw it was up, I remembered that Maria referenced it in her "I have one question" thread and posted the link for her..she really felt people were attacking her and unsupportive....
