TLBC Clinic- Toronto, Ontario, Canada

[so done with it all 1]

Hi Jojo, yeah I would say you should get a fill, I would say just do a half cc to just ease into it. I went about 6 months without a fill and found that I was starting to get down more then what I should and I was plateauing and not losing. I'm struggling right now with not being able to find the right restriction and I have lost a little then gained a little so I know what you are experiencing. So I would say yeah go for a fill.

Sandy,

It's funny that you say today you went 6 months without a fill yet in the other thread, you just posted on Friday that you weren't even banded yet and were going to Mexico after the Jill incident. Troll much???

It's pretty obvious there are several trolls on the forum that have just joined in the last while to "weigh in.":rolleyes:

Two questions from this old gal?

1. What is trolling?

2. How do you spell when you are "loosing or it is losing" weight. :w00t::thumbup:

Hi Doddie,

Proper spelling is "when you are losing weight".

Trolls are people that post under false username to instigate or attack or accuse because they are intimidated or afraid to use their real identity. Some posters have several different usernames others less. Often lately on this thread for instance a person will post for the first time to slam someone else, be it a clinic, person, etc. Then you never hear of them again for a long time. lol

By the way Doddie, you are not an old gal. :w00t:

Thanks Donna. I needed that uplifting thought especially as I try to get moving in the morning. and thanks for the spelling help.

I was banded may 2007 and lost 40 pounds over the first year. I have now gained 12 pounds and have noticed that I can eat things I couldn't before ie bread, muffins etc. Has anyone else experienced this and if so could it be that my band has stretched? I am wondering if I need to have a fill which I havent done for over a year.

JOJO, for sure get into the clinic and get a fill... the BAND dosn't stretch, our pouch does if you constantly OVER FILL it... Only eat until your are full, don't eat another bite after that and you'll never have to worry about stretching your pouch or having your BAND slip...

Get back on the TLBC menu and get those 12 lbs off before they become 15

I have many "trolls" respond to me in the past...my favorite is on my profile page from Pretty in Pink...hmm she never posted before or since she wrote me her little note.

I didn't know people could leave you comments on your profile. Did you have to give permission for that?:smile:

no i didnt give her permission. so i guess it can be a free for all. Sad thing is I was just repeating what TLBC told me and i got in trouble :w00t:.:tt1:

I don't think you are in trouble. You spoke what you knew without naming someone, which I understand is within the rules of this site. No matter which side of the coin we are on, there has been some nasty dustups in the past and hopefully the firm will pull up its socks and get on with the business for what they are good at. I and other clients need them to be focused on our needs.

no i did say her name. So i guess that was a no no. I was hoping that the big changes would help things out with slimband and their customers. I havent had to call them since my last fill. I hope things have improved for all who is taking this journey with them.

[Doddie63 6]

congratulations on your loss. You seem to be chugging right along (and I don't mean booze). LOL.

Yep, there are some ugly brawls going on in Rant and Raves. No one has been evicted so far.

[Doddie63 6]

hold that thought. It is great to have a site that we are not blacklisted because we have a moment of anger, frustation and post something that is inappropriate. I don't mind being corrected provided I am told why but I still hold dear the concept of "freedom of speech".

Seems fair to me. I participate in those brawls. I am always admired as the fair and, well, well-spoken Canadian. I don't give into my Judge Judy fantasies. lol
