I usually keep my mouth shut with all the Band Bashing posts...

I don't get involved in the surgery wars. I don't tell people to get the band nor not to get the band. I tell my story. I encourage others to try their best. I have blocked people that seem mean to others. Life is too short to deal with negativity all the time.   I love my band and I'm happy for anyone that is winning the battle against obesity. I don't care what surgery anyone has had.  I just know that the band is working right now for me!

I could use a winning lottery ticket also.  : )

Those people must have way too much time on their hands.  I'm only two weeks post-op and hope my band is as helpful to me as it's been to some of you.  Even if it wasn't...I wouldn't band bash.  What works for one doesn't work for another.  By the way....I love the "cup of shut the f*** up" pic!  Nice touch!!!
