**HATERS!! QUIT BAND BASHING!!!!
Well, **** did I miss the election that chose you President of the Lapband Board? 
You seem to know the people whose posts annoy you. Block them, or just don't read their posts.
Here are a few hints for ALL of you . . .to read more of them, read my post, "Tips for Getting the Most Out of This Forum."
- No one - other than OH - owns, runs or dictates this or any other forum or OH page.
- Know that EVERYONE is allowed to post whatever they want to this or any other OH forum. You will hear both pros and cons of the band.
- Remember that even people who have had negative band experiences may have things to offer you.
- YOU are always welcome to post what you like. Obviously, issues and topics relating to band and band life are primary, but if you want to post a photo of your new puppy, feel free. If you want to tell us about your vacation, great! If you're having a crappy day or just lost your job, feel free to vent. Posts that are not band-related should be prefaced with "OT" (off topic) on the subject line.
- If you find a person or their comments disagreeable, you can block them using the BLOCK button, which can be found below the person's post(s). This is a very good function! By blocking, you will not see any of their posts anymore, unless you sign out.
