I understand talking to people about your personal experience and I agree it is important to do your research. However, all the negative lap-band comments I have seen on these forums are just negative comments. Telling someone that s/he made the worst decision of her/his life is not productive. I haven't see specific examples or reasons why yours/others lap-band experience was so negative.

Most of us have. We have posted our own personal experiences and we have posted stats and studies. Most folks here are oldtimers and they have read it 100x.

~I remember you making the same kind of post to Maria in the past but I have to say she has toned it down quite a bit~

You STOP that right now Jo!

Don't be ruining my rep!

I can't believe some of you , well yes I can!! You don't say something like this to somebody that just got home . She is probably scared enough and to say what you all did that is damn pathetic .

You all should be ashamed of yourself That is just disgusting .

Lap Band on 08/25/10

Steelerfan, I'm shaking my head too. I joined another lap band forum (not the one on pro boards) and the whole attitude is quite different. Even a failed band section but without the comments like these.

5.0 cc in a 10cc lapband (four fills) 1 unfill of .5cc on 5/24/2011.
.5 fill March 2012. unfill of .25cc May 2012. Unfill of .5cc June 2014.

Still with my lapband with no plans for revision. Band working well since

last small unfill.

HW: 267lbs- size 22-24 LW:194lbs CW:198lbs Size 14-16

Jo, whereas that! I get tired of some of the bashing too. It's hard to keep the motivation going when you made the decision to be banded. Many people have been very supportive, but you get a few that keep jumping in. We can't support their view after we have already made our decision!

If Stephanie never posts here again I cant blame her, after what some of these people said to her on here .
