I have had my lapband for one and one half years now and it really doesn't work for me unless I have so much restriction I have to puke and can't get any food down. I was down to my ideal weight until I was so sick and tired of puking and needed a juicy steak and mash potatoes! Well I am up 10 pounds with less restriction and the doctor keeps saying, "eat right and eat the right things and you can't live on liquids alone"! I have come to the realization that this thing is nothing more than a temporary fix like all the rest! My BMI is 24 so they won't do any other surgeries on me. I am not really sure what to do? If I could do what the doctor's tell me I wouldn't have had a weight problem all my life. anyone out there with the same feelings as me? :help:

"The most insulting thing I said!" You said a lot more than this SDS, however you chose to send in private messages. When someone suggest therapy for someone else, they may want to look in the mirror! You should be frightened to have your surgery in Mexico.....Bad Karma!!!! I have a good internet buddy for you, Smelly Melly. You both seem to be two Peas in a Pod. You both love sending me private messages! Perhaps you can do something more productive and send them to each other because the each of you are very ingnorant, angry, and lonely and maybe can help each other out?

Hey dumb ass, you did write this and another person quoted the entirety and then wrote, Hmmmmmmmm. Your original post was deleted by Alex. Why would I name the doctor? I know who he is and what he did, I need not to prove myself to anyone!!!! If anyone knows anything about the legal system, you don't mention names on the internet....dumb ass!!!

I take it this was sent by Papa Joe? When you assume, you make an ass-u-me! Let's not talk about ethics here!!! Remember it was the doctor in Mexico that did the surgery and was paid to do it and had performed almost 5,000 lapband surgeries thus far!! Maybe it takes longer for some to catch on to what I am saying?????

Your little quote on the bottom says it all!!!

I was done with you a long time ago and yes you continue to harass me with your insults by sending me private messages now. But I can tell what sort of person you are (SDS) so they don't bother me. I feel sorry for you and hope you have little complications with your upcoming surgery :paranoid

I am not sure why you think I am lying? You wrote days ago stating my thread was the reason you were not posting to this forum? You can't seem to keep away??? I have no reason to lie and I am only warning others with my experience. If you choose to continue acting like a child along with Fishy than perhaps you need to do what you said from the beginning. I don't need to waste my time with games and ignorance I have much more important things in my life. I check my emails once a day and don't stay on line all day trying to pick fights or call people liars as you and Fishy seem to have been doing lately. He started sending his messages privately!

The doctor's also use the Swedish Band, there are 2 brands as far as I know, Swedish and INAMED. I have also been told that the Doctor's in Mexico use the Swedish Band often because they get them cheaper then the INAMED bands. I requested the INAMED FDA approved band so that when I had fills in the States I wouldn't have problems with other doctors, however I was recently told that the 11 cm band (that wasn't suppose to be used on someone of my size) is not FDA approved. I was requesting some reliable information. What your saying is, the 11 cm band was FDA approved at one point and then they made some changes but failed to get it FDA approved this time?

Try to find someone else to pick on for awhile! Bring your one fan with you!!! I never said, arrogant....I believe it was ignorant!!! Stop writing on this thread, go somewhere else. If you don't have any information to help others than move on. Good luck with your upcoming surgery;)

I didn't realize how important it was (blood work) until after the surgery....I am only trying to make a point that there are things you have to watch out for when going to another Country for a surgery. Mostly Post Op issues. I am sure it gets pretty costly (transportation and accomadations) going back and forth for fills and leaks? I hope he steps up to the plate like your'e assuming he is????? Read Photonut's link within this thread. Scary!!

"It is what it is"

I didn't read the post but if someone is making threats to another that is not Free Speech that's more like a crime. I had many personal attacks in regard to my post yesterday that wasn't related to anything described in my thread! I agree it does take much strength not to strike back at the ignorance in people so I do give her a lot of credit.

I did not direct that to one particular person. It was meant for my opposition to deleting threads. What I was saying is, if you're going to post than expect to hear intelligent responses and not so intelligent responses, they shouldn't be deleted because some responses are not warm and fuzzy!!! I had a lot of people attacking me with my post but most of them didn't even understand the point I was trying to make, even the person who deletes threads thought I was advertising for a doctor????
