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

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
