How the Heck is Everybody?
Hey, Theresa, I don't think you know me but a lot who used to be on here haven't been for a bit. Don't know if all the surgery arguments got to them or what happened. It may be like me. I lurk a lot more than I post, however, some days I do post. Some were tired of being jumped on, and more fighting than support. Possibly they found another forum. Anyway, always like it when a vet posts. Maybe some will come back if they see it's settled down some.
Some have reached there goals and moved on. We really need to give back. When I got close to goal, I too quit posting. Now that I had to get unfilled I'm back. Need to let newbies know that things can happen and you can get it back together. That's my plan. Working to get it off and keep it off. Thanks for checkn n.

I'm still around, but don't post as much as I used to. I got tired of all the backbiting, blaming bull**** and pulled back into the shadows. I had an especially bad taste in my mouth after the last attack on me by that useless shack of **** Naomi, and was poised to give up OH altogether. Add to that all the bullcrap that is constantly written on the Main Board by the "usual suspects" about how stupid we all are for having chosen the band (yes, even the SUCCESSES are uninformed, militants, liars or all three) and I didn't see much point in contributing anything. But I realized that there are still people on here who are looking for help and hope, and I still want to jump in when I can.

Hi Cheynne
I read post daily but don't post very often, Had a few problems that I thought were the band but turns out after 6 months and a total unfill it was all allergy's and sinus problems. Getting back on track after a 15 pound gain while unfilled this summer. So I try to stay motivated reading post on here. sure wish there was more activity. Glad to see you posting

Lapband - Jan 2009 weight goal reached with lapband. Revised to VSG- 1/25/16
You know it seems the most problems I have out of my band are related to sinus and allergies. If the weather changes in the least, I cant seem to eat. Even warm drinks dont seem to help. I am glad you figured out the problem though. It can be frustrating when you are having difficulties and dont know what to do. I just know that when my sinuses are acting up, I wont be eating very much.
