Dutchgrl59 2 Posted March 26, 2006 I just found this Ebay listing for someone who wants Lapband surgery and is looking for donations toward her surgery. Buy it now price $10,500. Her listing us under: Make me thin! Pay for my Lapband Weight loss surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tricia K. 0 Posted March 26, 2006 Oy vey! I thought this might be that same woman that was on here recently begging for donations. Here's the thread.... http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=15756 By the way, this woman has 2 ebay listings asking for people to pay for her lapband surgery. http://cgi.ebay.com/Make-Me-Thin-Pay-for-My-Lap-Band-Weight-Loss-Surgery_W0QQitemZ9501785519QQcategoryZ88433QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/Make-Me-Thin-Pay-for-My-Lap-Band-Surgery-Dutch-9-99_W0QQitemZ9501848071QQcategoryZ88433QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dutchgrl59 2 Posted March 26, 2006 You mean that she was on LBT asking for donations? Which thread was that on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeenBand 7 Posted March 26, 2006 Is it the same woman? Dutch, I thought the thread was deleted. After some careful questioning I think we realized the quality of the poster. For someone who has no money, that ebay person sure likes to buy stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dutchgrl59 2 Posted March 26, 2006 Thanks Tricia, It just might be the same lady..... I am speechless on the 4 pages of dialog that went on. Raw emotion. She got mad when you wanted more information..... red flag, something not right there. Upon further investigation..... the Shakeerah from LBT is age 23 and the Ebay seller is age 40. Are they the same person? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheetsin 714 Posted March 26, 2006 rid the world of a fat person. Now there's a nice thing to say. :yell: Look at the items the person has bought. Vacations, imported leather bags... I don't feel too bad for him/her in their story that they can't afford the procedure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NurseTeresa 0 Posted March 26, 2006 HUMMMMMMMMMMM I would love to have the LB also however my insurance doesnt cover it either.......I have no clue how someone could submit something like this for the world to see. Guess maybe I have a little more pride in myself. I know each person is an individual.....but...To me it is too much like Begging for everyone to help her. I agree with a post on the other thread that was going on that if she wants it that bad to solicit Clinics and see if anyone would agree to do it for free. I will just continue to save little by little til I have enough or my insurance decides to pay for it. Sorry just my two cents and had to vent! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are they the same person? You're very welcome. I found Shakeerah's begging and this ebay listing to be absurd. Some people have no shame and will do anything.

NewSho 20 Posted March 27, 2006 Hmmm. My problem is this person that is desperate for LapBand surgery also just received a Negative Feedback just over a month ago- for not paying on a Vegas trip they bid on and won. You can see that here. So you're desperate to have LapBand surgery but you have money to bid on trips to Vegas (not business trips, pure vacation). Sorry, no sale. If you look at this link you can see the other things this person has bid on and won. This includes a set of collectible Absinthe liquor decanters for $56 and other junk. In other words, they have money for Vegas trips & liquor decanters but not for LapBanding? They'd rather get donations and let us pay for what they need, so they can keep paying for what they like (like Vegas vacations?) Sorry to sound so cynical but it's just tacky, in my opinion. Grrrr, people lie that are so irritating! Happy Band Journeys to all... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrlddst 0 Posted March 27, 2006 I just want to state that I admire her confidence to have the guts to post something so outrageous and that if someone actually pays for her surgery, I will be the first to admit that I'm jealous and why didn't I think of it first tee-hee! :faint: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magic 0 Posted March 27, 2006 This is your chance to make history rid the world of a fat person My loss will be your gain Hahahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahha, this woman is hilarious. If somebody is kind hearted and wondering what to do with the money then he/she would send the 10k to Africa to stop children's death due to malnutrition. Not to stop a fat lady from eating too much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karenj 0 Posted March 27, 2006 I don't think that this is the same lady. Remember Shakeerah was only about 21? and still lived with her mom? This lady is 40! Still, I can't believe that someone would do that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MiaHalliwell 4 Posted March 27, 2006 I saw this on ebay as well after I saw the thread about someone selling an expired lap band on eBay. I was curious, LOL. I was going to post it but you beat me to it. All I can say is that you can sell anything including your boss on ebay, I have seen it, LOLOLOL. If anything, I just hope she is sincere.

Marimaru 7 Posted March 27, 2006 I wonder how doing this makes history? I guess to be the first person who paid for someone's surgery through ebay? I would never have the courage to do anything like that, but if I did, it would be along the lines of an ebay post for a $20 donation or something. I have seen that before, but I've never seen someone flat out ask for that much money. Despiration comes in all forms and flavors, but I think some people go a little far, you know?
