Scared

[Lori Voss Green 93]

I am SO ANGRY about this article on Yahoo. First, what right does this woman have to write this? She is not a doctor, or based on anything I read, in the healthcare field. Second, lazy? I get so enraged when people say this. I have worked MORE since the band.....be it changing what and how much I eat and exercising....since I got the band than I EVER did before. I get so damn sick of hearing people make comments like, "I lost weight the hard way, without surgery." Yeah? Good for you. I am losing weight WITH surgery and it is STILL hard!

Not to mention basically everything that woman said in her article was inaccurate. I am almost 7 months post op. I have NO FOODS that are off limits. There are foods I have MADE off limits by choice because they are not smart foods, but PHYSICALLY I could eat anything I wanted to. Pretty sure my doc has NO plans to replace my band in a couple of years.....WHICH by the way, would go against one of her other points of the band NEVER EVER EVER being able to come out, right?!?!?!?!

OMG I am sorry but I am just seething with anger right now. People like her and articles like that keep people from seeking help for weight loss!! People, who might qualify for and benefit from lap band, might read garbage like that and NOT seek help and end up dying from their weight. It makes me sad and it makes me angry!
