For all the band haters

Wow, well hang in tight!!  I will keep you in my thoughts and hope for the very best as you start this entirely different and challenging journey toward keeping your health well.

Thanks, Sarah! I think it'll be OK. I wasn't expecting my physical to go in this direction, more than anything, I think. But I'm sure everything will work out just fine. I was just out hiking around in my back yard (I have woods in my waaay back yard) and I saw the hugest owl and a white tailed deer. So I went from an icky morning to a lovely afternoon.  The sun's shining, the birds are singing, life is good! 

Thanks for the support. It's appreciated. I'm glad you're posting. I had wondered how you were doing.

Hey, You know that chic who blocked you earlier and you replied to me in her thread ??? well she blocked me too. I didn't think my reply would be offensive to her

You tell your bladder to get a damn life or it will be fed to the critters.

Sara, I'm am deeply saddened to hear this about your lap band experience. If you need any help or suggestions please feel free to join our Failed Lap Bands group, right here on OH. The link is in my siggy.

so happy it worked it for someone but the problems usually start after 2 years...i gave it 3 years of acid reflux, waking up in the middle of the night chocking on my own acid, no restriction 25lbs weight gain and only lost 5lbs overall **** this stupid chokeband...there is a reason they dont do this thing in other countries and of course docs will pu**** here because its an assembly line for them. i revised to the sleeve and actually started losing weight without the vomiting, choking, and other horrors. my revision surgeon said i had so much scar tissue that it was hard to manuever around. i wouldnt wish that piece of **** on anyone. also think of it like this if u put a rubber band around your finger and leave it there..what would happen? do you wonder whats happening to your stomach???? im not doubting that people can lose with it... but most people realllllly struggle and the band is the worst option. i eat like a normal person, no vomiting, no hunger, full quickly and lose weight. sigh...im just shaking my head at the crapband cheerleaders....its unreal.
