Hate crimes are rising
everywhere we turn.
It's all over the news
and causing concern.
But there's one certain bias
still being allowed.
It's being fat or obese
and standing out in a crowd.
What have we done
to deserve your abuse?
You're just being rude.
What's your excuse?
We have the right
to walk down the street,
without your eyes roaming
from our heads to our feet.
We have the right
to eat what we want,
as well as to dine
in any restaurant.
Why are you gawking?
Why do you stare?
Do you really think
we are unaware?
We do hear your comments
about our fat a--.
That only proves
you haven't got class!
You are not perfect
and neither are we.
But at least we are smart
for not trying to be.
Laws will be broken,
you can be sure of that.
But there is no crime
for being obese or fat.

Do you see the glass as half empty or half full? I say, what difference does it make--I paid for a full glass,so either way I am getting jipped!!!
They don't seem to care because this is the worst and LEAST successful of the four weight loss surgeries available.
I am a revision from a lapband to a gastric bypass. I can only tell you that I lived a nightmare of two years enduring vomiting, sliming, stuck food, etc with my band. The band ended up giving me acid reflux. By the way I couldn't eat any meat with the band, vegetables, salad, etc. I lost 35 lbs. initially then regained all that and lived on pudding, cottage cheese, ice cream, milkshakes, etc.
I suggest you go to the Failed Lapband Message Board on here and do more research before you make a final decision.

It's your body- your decision but DO YOUR RESEARCH!!
Having had surgery at Tufts I can say that they know their stuff!! I wanted the band and given my eating issues and BMI my surgeon guided me to the bypass. I don't regret it as I've lost 110 lbs and have spoken to other band patients who have difficulty losing a lot of weight. I honestly left the decision in their hands knowing that it's their speciality. Maybe you should talk to the surgeon (again) about your concerns. The team is great.
