I need to quit drifting into the Lapband forum as well. This thread, along with "her" are pissing me off: http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/283027-no-more-lap-bands-in-my-area/

Talk about uninformed and judgmental.

That's the thread that set me off yesterday. I don't know why it rubbed me wrong. Not the subject of conversation....it was just the attitude. Good thing none of us around here have crappy attitudes.

Reading "her" post on that thread, my head started to detach from my neck. Then it nearly popped off.

The statement about "Bad doctors and Bad patients" was the kicker for me. OMG

:angry:

If I had the band? I'd be making an appointment right now AT THIS MINUTE to convert to ANYTHING! Just so I didn't have to be in the same forum as that delusional tyrant of anti Americanism and sound medical advice.

Wtf is wrong with that person. I mean I get its her opinion but come on does she trally believe it?!?! No one can even ask her a question without her "blocking "them bc they are dumb. Wonder why she is even there means she's a damn "dr" herself. Must be horrible to be around so many inferior people!! Gah I pray this gets fixed soon.!!! ;)

Let's face it - I thought the sleeve was insane until after six months of lurking on LBT I saw how many revisions and miserable people were there. A procedure with a massive complication rate and shoddy % EWL stats is being phased out by the market because surgeons and patients are doing research? Say it ain't so!!

And I'm sick of the "sleeves stretch" rhetoric. Yes, they stretch. MINUTELY and IF YOU MAKE THEM STRETCH. Ya know, with work, with regular overeating to the point of pain over a long period of time. But people act as if it becomes a damn football field if you slip up twice. Hardly the case.

Anyway, there's enough people on the sleeve forums I want to go away, so I don't venture into other forums as a general rule. I try to limit the stupid in my life.

Yes the sleeve stretch!! They all believe that over there (could they actually be listening and believing part of what this lunatic is laying down?)

the sleeve will relax.. Thank god, because you couldn't live your life with it being as small as it is in the first months.. It can stretch a bit more if you continuously stuff day after day after day all day long.. BUT even if it say, doubles?

Let's see where's gamergirl when I need her for math?? :P

85% cut out 15% left.. So if 15% doubles?? OMG 30% of your original size???

Oh the terror!!! :P

      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.
