Bette
If I knew how to do the claps and cute pics I would. But since I don't all I can say is well said and amen.

 Well, I will tell you how. Above the window where you type a reply is a little smiley-face icon. If you click on that, it will bring down a window full of emoticons. You click on the oneyou want, and it appears in your post!

I totally agree!!!!!!!!!

I have been lurking lately because I have been scared off frankly. I really could use the support again. I am coming up on two years since being banded and I am also coming off of a two-month unfill. I gained 8 lbs over the holidays and sure could use the motivational support, so I decided to come back and get back into posting with my band friends again. Boy did I get an eyeful!

I am so saddened by all of this vitriol and non-stop fighting. I'm glad you have said something Bette, I sure hope that it works.

 Oh, I'm sure it won't do a damned things. But between blocking the annoyances and then venting, *I* am feeling better! 

Hi Everyone,

I don't know if this is the right thread to say this, but here goes - I am a newbie, getting prepared for my Lap Band surgery this month.  I am nervous, excited, happy, scared, just about every emotion.  I've been reading everything I can on this board, and up until this post, I've wondered if I am really making the right decision.  I am SO glad to see some Lap Band vets with several years under their belt (ha ha) and some positive feedback about the band, it is pretty discomforting to constantly hear about band failure, deaths, etc. I feel better seeing successful people.  Anyway, THANK YOU ALL for some positivity!

And on a side note - Great work Ms. Telisha - you go girl!

Thanks hun!!

I totally agree.
Im usually on here everyday but lately Ive strayed away because it seems all thats on here is negativity. I havent even gotten my band yet either! I totally agree with your post - this forum i thought was for the band experience not attacking everyone for their experiences and judgment.
Woo hoo bette!

Damn, why am I missing out on all the fun?  Oh, I guess I already BLOCKED THE **** out of the offenders.

Only 4 people on my blocked list, but it makes a world of difference.
