I think I'm as about as fair and impartial (some would say TOO impartial) about the LapBanding as anyone.

But there is this absolute witch in the OH chat room RIGHT NOW downing the band, she started with "OMG, is that FAILURE still on the market?"

Yes, we know how I hate the "F" word - Failure. :mad:

She's has now just said it's never worked, saying that the only reason it's still done is doctors stealing money. :cry

I've down clear, concise, backed-with-fact responses to her crap - but her argument is, that's why there aren't any Banders in the chat room. They're not successful so they stay away.

So please ANY banders - jump into the main OH chat room and show some numbers.

Let's prove that we are successful, and we're not going anywhere.

See ya over there, LBT folks.

At ease, troops.

I think she's finally been shut up for good.:mad: She just left the room when no one would back her Anti-LapBand crap up. But man, I hear it all the time in there! :phanvan

So I do wish more LapBanders popped in the Obesity Help Chat Room more often. Now whenever newbies ask LapBand questions instead of giving them horror stories (usually untrue) or telling them that it doesn't work for anyone (definitely untrue) - I've at least got the 'regulars' trained to at least direct them to the LapBand board or they give them my e-mail.

No one there? That must be the "LapBand" chat room or something.

In fact, there are about 35 people signed in to the Main Chat room now. The link is different for me cuz I'm an OH member, but here's the link I usually use to get there.

You don't have to be an ObesityHelp member, nor do you need any password.

I would think the amazing progress you've had is proof positive that success can be achieved with the band.

Ah ha! The LapBanders have arrived.

She's gone now, but it sure is nice having other Bandsters in the chat room.

[ Oh, Congrats on the upcoming Tummy Tuck, AAA. Best thing I've done for myself, next to the band itself. ]

That was fun but I will need more practice, it goes pretty darn fast and I got lost a lot. But I will visit there more often....thanks for the invite.

Wow, since this happened...

I'm seeing more Bandsters in the (very busy, very lively) OH Chat Room now. KEEP COMING IN, it's wonderful to have new, veteran or even PreOp Bandsters come visit in there.

Love to see more of you.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
