lap banders/apology
im so sorry that I offended some or all of the lapbanders out there. truly. i don't want to hurt anyone. i just happened to go to a doctor who only specializes in gastric. i wish all of you luck in your journey to lose weight. I've had my own emotional breakdown this month and apparently I wasnt' thinking. again, i am very sorry.
She came on the board looking for support, and answers. What does she get? She gets responses saying the band is basically no good, and you just flushed your money down the toilet. Why did people think it was a worthless surgery? From what they "heard", or "seen". Not from what they've researched. (You know who you're)
My point is this:
If you DIDN'T have the surgery, or know nothing about it don't comment on it. When someone is looking for answers do you think it helps to say "I have heard nothing good about the band". All you had to do is recommend they go to the Lap-Band forum. Whatever surgery type a person gets you should support them. Just because they're not on your "team" doesn't mean you have to be negative. That's the part that disgusted me. Looking for help and she got those (3-4?) responses.

Please note there were a couple of responses that were supportive....
1. If you are not feeling full and always hungry, call your doctor/nurse and let them know. Also remember it's a tool to be used along with eating right and exercising. You control the weight gain and loss.
2. I'm not familiar enough with the lap band to give much advice. There is a lap band forum on OH it is worth also posting there and they might have some ideas what to eat ito feel full longer. Let your doc's office know and hopefully they can adjust the fills to work better for you. Good luck!
