Good Afternoon Keisha!
I say to you, sista' to sista', take the message and run!
I think the only ones being paid are people like Carnie Wilson (disgusting how wildly people want to be like her without any thought or research and get B.O.B.'s - Bands Over gastricBypass because if she got it surely it works and is okay - Carnie needs to change her ways about food & exercise - she has issues!) or if you are marketing products or books. They don't allow members to do that on OH unless you pay them - some have.
Anyways my point is that people like Nic, Maria, Pumpkin etc. are only here trying to save a few from undergoing Adjustable Gastric Banding. They are here to to support those who are having issues and have been a God send to many.
You must understand that we all went into getting banded wanting it to work forever. I remember when Dr. Ortiz released t his book - it said , skeletal remains with bands would be found in years to come. I believed that, I so believed that. It was devastating to lose my band but there truly is "Beauty for Ashes" and "joy after sorrow". I am so thankful I had the courage to try again. My stomach sleeved is awesome!
All the best to you love!
