ReadySteadyGo 8 Posted September 24, 2009 I am fat. I was fatter. I'm still fat. Even with this surgery and all my tears I might always be fat. I'm working on it. My parents, society, and my Doctors pushed me into this surgery and I went into it kind of blind. My Doctor, well he didn't tell me anything but how easy this will be. My nutritionist talked to me like I was garbage so I never went back. Everything constructive I have learned here, from helpful people. Any encouragement in my newbie period, well I got it here. Thank you for starting this website Alex. Otherwise I might have had to have another surgery to replace the damage I had done with my body not knowing anything like I did when I went into this. I only wish I had found it earlier before I had the surgery so I would have been prepared. Moderators, thank you for trying to keep the cruelty to a minimum. I know it can be a thankless job. I still need support. I'm a slow loser...if I lose at all and I really dont. I don't come here as much as I do but when I do I am usually feeling really low. Thank you Lapbandtalk for being here when I need you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you Lapbandtalk for being here when I need you. This was almost as if I wrote it myself (with the exception of having the forums before surgery) I too am a slow loser. I was fatter, I'm still fat and I have a ways to go as well and my surgeon is a great person but has told me he won't give me anymore fills and I'm not at my sweet spot at all. I never had the option of a nutritionist, it was just me my band and the world. This place provided me with a lot of very great support and information as a new bandster and I am thankful for LBT and the support and people. So I agree, thank you.

FabBy50 0 Posted September 24, 2009 I have to say I could not have written that any better myself!! I don't always agree with everyone or even all of the mods but I think we have all come her for one reason SUPPORT!!!!!!!! I was fat going into this and I knew I would need some help and guidance to get as far as I have and where did I find it???? HERE. I know the mods are doing the best they can, give them a break! I will continue to come here and get the support I need to lose that last 25-30 lbs I have. Thanks to all who have helped me along the way, And yes that includes you Susan!!

Thank you, and good luck with everything. The nutritionalist didn't tell me anything I didn't know already, and she really did make me feel like scum. Nothing is perfect, but it's good to have a support system like lbt to come too. I'm guilty of only coming here during my low times, though. I should break that habit.

Thank you Lapbandtalk for being here when I need you. (((RSG))) I'm a slow loser too! :mad: But really, I just wanted to second, or third or tenth that I am really thankful for this site. I've never left because the support here is always been the best. I've been to other sites and they are great too, but LBT has always been my first choice for forum posting. Thank you Alex, and thanks to all the moderators. It truly truly is a thankless job. Have a great weekend to all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
