Bashers
Mar 13, 2014
I may just close my account to this obesity help thing. I post on the forum to get advice from those who have been there and all I get are band bashers telling me how the band is going to kill me. WELL so would obesity with it's heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and misery of being repulsivly fat.
I have issues and I put them out on the forum for support, not bashing and horror stories of people tryin to tell me how I'll die with the band.
More surgeries because of erosion or band slippage?? That was an option you were told about before surgery. If you were going to have a problem with that, don't get the surgery.
GERD and vomiting??? Well that is a given as well, told to you before the surgery.
THERE IS NO MIRACLE WLS. EVERYTHING has a down side and there seems to be a whole club of bashers out there ready to tell you that you have a foot in the grave.
The best I saw was how one person said they would rather be "fat fat fat" than deal with the lap band issues... REALLY???? Why did you get the Sx in the first place if your were okay being OBESE???
I have the band, I would do it again in a heartbeat, so bashers, please watch your words, we, who are OK with our band, but want some information do NOT need to hear your crap. Most of which was probably brought on by your own bad habits. My issues ARE mostly my own. If I was a perfect dieter and could follow a plan, I wouldn't need the band at all. You screw up, you pay the price. I will do so but would like to hear from others who have stuck it out and not talk trash. Therefore, I will be staying off the lapband forum and hopefully there will be a PRO lap band forum; for SUPPORT of issues that come along, not "scare the pants off you to take it out" crap. I gave away my fat clothes, I will NEVER go back. If it puts me in a casket? At least I will fit in nice clothes in a standard casket box, not bloated in a piano crate like I would have been if I had that heart attack, diabetes complication, stroke or just die in my sleep from sleep apnea.
I'm DONE. Going to the Sx for my tightness issue in a bit and I won't be posting on the forum anymore. I will post to my blog and leave the den of negativity and bashing.
