I just got on there to talk. Basically a couple of people all excited about the banding surgery. All I said was basically maybe not to make it the end of the world. It might not work as fast or well as they had been told. Then someone said--this is about encouragement right? Then someone else said--go eat a donut! Wow that was nice! I was asking how much people had in their bands and saying I was trying to figure out why it worked so well for some and not others. Someone said it was a rarity for it to not work. Gosh I feel so much better. I sure hope for the sake of all those people on there that it works like the hype says. But my point is it sure may not. Maybe a realistic approach might be good. Go eat a donut! Thanks for the help people. I appreciate it. Glad I went there to talk and see if anyone else was struggling and had any tips. Now I feel worse. :biggrin:

Sorry you had a bad experience with the chat room. I've experienced that myself a while back. Don't take it to heart, sometimes their conversations have absolutely NOTHING to do with the Lapband.

I certainly know how you are feeling right now. If you don't mind me asking when did you get banded? What size band do you have? How much fill do you currently have? We are all here to help so don't be discouraged by the chat room experience. I believe we all go through the same struggles at some point with the lapband. Let us know how we can help.

That is terrible! I see nothing wrong with what you said, and you should have gotten some empathy and support...go eat a donut? There is no excuse for someone to make a remark like that. Again, I apologize for the insensitivity of others.
