Need help deciding

Margie What board is giving you this BS info?

It was a support group originally recommended by the surgeon's office. (Buffalo, NY) The leader is very capable and knowledgeable but I think she is using old info and not really current with lapband techniques. And she is heavily invested in her GBP surgery. She tends to personalize everything - she thinks that her experience is everyone else's experience. I resented that because I really have not experienced most of the rejection and depressioin that she has. agghhh.. I am just happy that I no longer belong to that group - I unsubscribed. AND I am very happy that I have now committed 100% to lap band and will have it done on Sept. 16. Have all my preop stuff scheduled and my last weigh-in at the clinic on the 8th. Fingers crossed.

P.S. The surgeon, when I told him what she had said, was disgusted - said that they no longer recommend that people contact that woman, that she was "over the edge."
