blogs/blog-0140605001379425906.jpgTo all the “KNOW IT ALL” posters in Bandland!

 

I posted this elsewhere today and I’m adding it to my blog because I just had to get this off my chest!

 

Why is that some people feel they are experts at what is right for anyone but themselves?

When "newbies" or even veterans for that matter ask questions in this forum, it's because we are looking for advice and support.

 

We are not looking for the know it all clipped and often times judgmental comments that are thrown out to refute the actual helpful advice of other bandsters. These comments come in almost exact succession to the postings of certain people who are actually helpful in their comments and advice, and these judgmental postings are really starting to bug me.

 

If you think this comment was about you, then it probably was and I hit my target audience.

 

My advice to you is that perhaps you should take all that you know and apply it personally and then edit the content again before you hit post. Or I'm sure there will be more people who will start refuting your comments and judging you for your tone and countering you on your expertise.

 

Last I checked you were not registered as a Lapband Surgeon, Doctor, PA, or spokesman. It's really all just your opinions that would be better served minus the judgmental tone.

 

Thank you.

Thank you for addressing the "white elephant" in the room on our forum.

There is nothing wrong with sharing best practices and first hand experiences which have led to learning and understanding with regards to band related issues.

I cringe when I read medical advice being given by individuals who do not hold the professional credentials to be dispensing medical advice.

This forum is not a replacement for consulting with your surgeon or their medical team.

Every Patient is different. Every Surgeon is different. Every Bariatric Center is different. Every Nutritionist is different. After listening to all of them I spent much time really listening to my own body! It will reach a quiet zone and really give you signals. (It was almost like the messages from the baby/fetus when I was pregnant) Now I don't hear it again because I'm overeating. I have been on this forum for inspiration to get back on the path again. . . . . .Please don't blog negative, run it all through your own thought process and be positive going on the road to being happy & improving our health.
