I am perfect because I run 10 miles every morning, do not exceed 3 calories a day, and drink 6 gallons of Water daily. Oh yeah, and the lapband is just a ........................tool. baa haaa haaa haaa haa!!!.

If you believe this you are delirious from hunger.

I'm confused. It seems like you are saying that people who live by the "it's a tool" mantra are pretending to be perfect. Am I reading that right?

Not exactly..... Though there are a few that seize every opportunity to scold the poster with I-am-perfect replies while throwing in the "it's a tool" BS.....It might be a tool but I sure ain't gonna buy a non-functional hammer either, right?

( I'm not saying anything positive or negative about the band in this post....)

The hammer should work fine for you if you use it right, but if you just buy it and throw in on your work bench it probably isn't going to drive a whole lot of nails. You didn't buy the hammer thinking it would pound those nails without any effort from you did you?

I didn't say either way. Read above and you'll see this post was about the constant condescending remarks of some posters....The I-love-me or I-am-perfect toned replies to struggling bandsters. The remarks weren't made to me but they're all over this forum as of late. ....

I think Mattie was just having a moment of sarcasm that is totally not meant to offend anyone (in particular). I live by the "its a tool" mantra and have repeated it to others, and I think the post was just a little tongue and cheek, no offense taken.

LOL! No, not really. But you gotta admit the board needs a little spicing up once in awhile :)

Seriously, the same few attack posts regularly with "it's a tool" and "count calories" "eat less" "exercise more" ......when the poster surely wasn't looking to be scolded.

Okay you're right everyone. Sorry for the offense. It was just being sarcastic, really.

Admittedly, I've been quite the shit lately. I think it all started yesterday when I was driving happily through town to pick up some groceries when I saw a pick up truck so covered in mud it was barely visible, then realized it was my SON'S.

I've been in rare form since then, oh yeah full moon this week too. Did I mention he is now buried in the trunk in the attic?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
