Topic: RE: My dilemma...
Oh Rose, I am so sorry to hear this. I would love to give my true thoughts, but perhaps will do so by email when I get some time. After the island invasion - I won't want to provide sound bites for anyone.
What size band do you have?

The point is Carol, is there are NO pre-ops here, so there is nobody to warn. You can find plenty of them on the Main Board. Why don't you warn them?
What is your agenda? Do you want to help people? Do you want them to know that you have the superior surgery and that you are right? What is your goal here?

Topic: RE: I'm using the BLOCK feature
This is my first post of the day here that I am reading, and I am sad to see this one. The island was just supposed to be a nice place. I really hope it stays as intended.

Rose,
You can vent anytime! You have a lot to think about.
(((((HUGS!))))))
Topic: RE: What would you do?
I poke fun where I see fit. But I don't rub peoples faces in the dirt. What the **** do you care that people have problems with a surgery that you don't have. Concern yourself with DS people who are having problems.
And for your information, I posted here on a public forum because my friends that I know and care about most post here about issues that concern people who have been banded for a long time. I don't have anything to hide and I have always been upfront about the good the bad and the ugly of the lap band and I will continue to do so.
I think Leanne is a big enough girl that she can take a little ribbing, I don't think she will be shrinking back in pain and humiliation any time soon.
I have never even referred to the band as a tool, so I doubt if I will be telling anyone to "work their tool" anytime soon.
So unless you have something positive and supportive to say to a fellow WLS pt. who is having a problem **** off.

No block feature here? Now THAT is cool! I'm going to visit much more often!
Topic: RE: What would you do?
Oh great like flies to a stink ...more and more come.
I am here because OH told us to find an old basically unused forum and convert it to a BAND vet board ...so we did with their blessing. Thats why we are ALL here and have been for some time. You must have missed that memo. *swats fly swatter*

Thanks Lenora -
My feeling about the invaders is that if you dont bait them they wont have anything to react to.
I didnt even bring up the DS with Dr. Lautz. The only person I know in person who has had a DS about 8 years ago. She has had some major iron deficiency issues that require IV's and a hernia and serious smelly bm issues despite her taking her ADEK vitamins religiously and probably some other medical issues that I dont even know about. Not even an option that I want to consider. Although she does look good.
