a troll is someone who comes on here just to diss the band...there's been quite a few of them lately.

I may not fully understand the definition myself. Maybe I shouldn't have used it, but just seems to fit here.

My uneducated definition of a troll would be someone who posts negatively about the band, and is very vague. You notice that we are all still talking about this, but the original poster aparently is no longer interested. Just seems fishy.

If this is legit, my deepest apologies. But without further info, I would have to say TROLL.

The poster has been very busy on the other post. She/he still will not give any information and is being nasty now. Oh well...

Ok, where is the person posting this thread, something sounds very wrong, even with me not having any fills, Ive lost weight. Its part of a diet you follow, and exercise routine. You have to work with the band. This isnt a quick fix. So, I agree, possibly someone just posted something to speak negative things about something they probably dont have. Cause if this were a true thread, they would be active in this thread. Uggh anyway. :biggrin:

What's a troll?

An Internet troll,, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion

Hi, sorry you are not happy with the band. Unfortunately there will be people who will not be happy with their band, so it does not offend me. I thank God that I was able to get it and I am doing well with it, but if someone else isn't, I do not condemn them.

You have to assume that if someone is very vague, posts one time then does not return they are most definately a troll. Not sure what it accomplishes. Perhaps a need for attention, even if it's negative. Like a misbehaved child that dosen't get enough love from their parents. They act out sometimes in a negative way just so someone will acknolwlege them. It's actually quite sad.

      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.
