What is a troll?

I joined a couple of weeks ago because I wanted to find out all that I could about lap band failures. I have been checking out as many sites as I can find and asked some questions related to lap band and revision to RNY.

Does that make me look like a mole?

Only to the extremely paranoid people who think that everyone's out to get them.  
OK, seriously, who's accusing you of being a "mole?" That's silly.

Just keep reading and researching. Ignore the less than friendly responses.

If you're having band problems, you're not alone, that's for sure. There are many of us who can relate to what you're going through.

 Let me guess who challenged you. Does her name start with an "n"?  . . .

 Not you! Or at least I assume not!  A troll uses one or multiple identities to stir emotions on a board by posing as a genuine poster but asking questions or describing imaginry experiences with no purpose other than to cause dissension. If Bette is right about your challenger, ignore her! Everyone except recent board arrivals does!

Happily banded since May 2006.  Regain of 28lbs 2013-14.  ALL GONE!

But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,

 It really doesn't matter who. I just think that it is sad that people are looking for help on sites and then they are treated that way
 I am really upset about it. It makes me want to delete everything that I have worked on so far.

 There will always be the negative ones that we all have to deal with.... I live by one rule when it comes to them....

....JUST KEEP SWIMMING

No one is in this race for me except me, and I will do what I need to do to reach MY goals :) be it reading information, asking questions, or aggravating my friends with updates on what I am doing that is or is not working as far as those that have negative things to say....

I shrug and think...how sad...they are so unhappy with themselves that they feel the need to attack me and try to bring me to that level...

.....JUST KEEP SWIMMING eventually they leave and you come to clearer waters with your friends swimming along side you :)

...just keep swimming,

I am a work in progress...perhaps never completed or perfected; but forever working to change for the better...

I think you bring up a good question that I would hope admin would look into.
Why does anyone want to come here asking questions and seriously looking for answers anymore when all they do is get attacked by one side or another?
The bickering amongst everyone needs to stop.  People need to stop getting in debates about the band, tell their story and let everyone decide for themselves what they want to do...
