Anyone notice Post Banders are a bit snobbish?

[El Diablo 1]

I find that post banders look down their noses at us pre-banders and feel we have no valid opinions about anything.

What do you think :thumbup:

I have no idea what you are talking about.

I have very few responsibilities! I'm retired.

I just got banded in November, and I spent a lot of time on her pre-op. I didn't think that post banders were snobbish. I asked questions, and they helped me. I found them to be kind and supportive for the most part. I don't think I'm snobbish now that I'm a bandster either, at least I hope I'm not.....:thumbup:

Hmm interesting choices in the poll. Had to pick the one that was closest to the truth, which is that no I didn't find that anyone post band was snobbish to me pre-band. But personally I don't know you well enough dan2001xj to say that it's because post-banders don't like you that you're feeling differently. :thumbup:

Ouch! took a hit but I'm hangin in there.

OK - i'll bite and pretend that you're being serious. I think there's few long term at goal bandsters here because some pre bandsters think they know it all and dont want to hear sensible advice - even when they ask for it, they get shirty becuase they dont like the truth.

oye dan - you bring some entertainment i'll give you that!

you can take as little or as much as you want from this forum - makes no diff to me; choices - everyone gets one.

Way to make new friends Dan!! My opinion is.....on the fence. Most are real nice, BUT yes, some are a little upitty. However, if they have made it too goal--AWESOME!! I might be too if I ever get there. I think we will have earned the right. And I COMPLETELY understand their frustrations with people asking STUPID questions! I haven't been banded yet and I have had to hold my tongue on some posts and not say "DUH!!!" to them. I'm happy to see you got a couple banders to play with you. Do you feel better now? :thumbup:

I think the reason some may appear snobbish is because some new bandsters are complete fools and post threads that say they ate a double cheeseburger the day after surgery and want to know if that's bad.

I'm sorry, but I don't speak to the pre-banded.

I agree plain. Why waste our time? :ohmy:
