Need a break from LBT



Recommended Posts

You know what really irritates the pi$$ out of me? It's the petty squabbling that goes on whenever anyone posts something that is even a tad bit passionate. @#$%&*! Will you hysterical women please stop the madness!

Yes, we will continue to read stupid, ill-informed questions from all sorts of emotionally damaged fat people. It's just the way it goes. If you don't like it, click to something else. For example, I had to scroll past most of the posts in this thread...they're just too painful to read.

I've considered deleting LapBandTalk from my favorites too, and I've only been a member for one month. The negativity and dumb questions get real old really fast. This thread may be the straw that does it.

For Pete's sake. Isn't there anyone out there who can smarten up the forum???

BTW - Since this is a rant..."lose" means to misplace, "loose" means not tight. It just amazes me that there are so many of us on this forum who don't know the difference between the two. These are two words that we, of all people, should know how to spell!!!!

YOU GO GIRL!

I hear' ya. What do you people expect? Lose all the weight in two days and everything would be fine. No that is not the purposed. This is a LIFESTYLE change. The band helps you makes changes it doesn't do it all for you.

Ninja,

I was just agreeing on what I have been reading for the past several months as I was waiting for my banding.

There is a sleeve board starting. PM WASa and I am sure she would give you the address. I would post it here, but I am not sure if it's against the rules. You would think I would know the rules, since I am a moderator, but I am not in the mood to go back and read them. You can pm me too. I have the address for the new sleeve board.

People who aren't banded yet should be well informed about all surgeries before they make their decision. I would get a sleeve as fast as I could run to get one if anything happened to my band. I do know people IRL who are banded and have been for years, but I still fear that this WL is too good to be true, and someday it will be taken away from me.

Some people have asked me why I am not afraid to have part of my stomach thrown in the garbage. It's simple. It's permanent. I don't want to get fat again. The band can do damage to the stomach. How scary is that?

I think it's good there is going to be a forum for sleeve people too. But either way I hope WASa still comes and talks to us. :P

I think if my band screws up for me too after I get it I would goto a sleeve it seems like the best option.

But first i gotta get banded LOL

It's obvious that we love this forum, it's one of the nicest ones I've seen and easy to navigate, I would think that with more people having to get revisions for whatever reason they should make a section for those people who still feel attached to this forum. It's not like they didn't originally have the band so I don't see what the big deal would be. They advertise sleeves etc... right? I so open a new thread for sleeves!!!! What would it hurt? brandyII:thumbup:

brandy i actuslly think thats a good idea, theres a section for people with bands removed so why not a revision section too you should bring it up to alex :frown:

I think since I'm still a banster I'll let the others who have switched bring it up if that's their choice but I don't see why it would be a problem.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
