Is it the same woman?
Dutch, I thought the thread was deleted. After some careful questioning I think we realized the quality of the poster.
For someone who has no money, that ebay person sure likes to buy stuff.

Thanks Tricia,
It just might be the same lady..... I am speechless on the 4 pages of dialog that went on. Raw emotion. She got mad when you wanted more information..... red flag, something not right there.
Upon further investigation..... the Shakeerah from LBT is age 23 and the Ebay seller is age 40. Are they the same person?

Look at the items the person has bought. Vacations, imported leather bags... I don't feel too bad for him/her in their story that they can't afford the procedure.

HUMMMMMMMMMMM I would love to have the LB also however my insurance doesnt cover it either.......I have no clue how someone could submit something like this for the world to see. Guess maybe I have a little more pride in myself. I know each person is an individual.....but...To me it is too much like Begging for everyone to help her. I agree with a post on the other thread that was going on that if she wants it that bad to solicit Clinics and see if anyone would agree to do it for free. I will just continue to save little by little til I have enough or my insurance decides to pay for it. Sorry just my two cents and had to vent!

|  Did you read the other things this "desperate" patient has bid on and bought
Hmmm. My problem is this person that is desperate for Lap Band surgery also just received a Negative Feedback just over a month ago- for not paying on a Vegas trip they bid on and won. You can see that here. So you're desperate to have Lap Band surgery but you have money to bid on trips to Vegas (not business trips, pure vacation). Sorry, no sale. If you look at this link you can see the other things this person has bid on and won. This includes a set of collectible Absinthe liquor decanters for $56 and other junk. In other words, they have money for Vegas trips & liquor decanters but not for LapBanding? They'd rather get donations and let us pay for what they need, so they can keep paying for what they like (like Vegas vacations?) Sorry to sound so cynical but it's just tacky, in my opinion. Grrrr, people lie that are so irritating! Happy Band Journeys to all...

I just want to state that I admire her confidence to have the guts to post something so outrageous and that if someone actually pays for her surgery, I will be the first to admit that I'm jealous and why didn't I think of it first tee-hee! :faint:

I don't think that this is the same lady. Remember Shakeerah was only about 21? and still lived with her mom? This lady is 40! Still, I can't believe that someone would do that!

I saw this on ebay as well after I saw the thread about someone selling an expired lap band on eBay. I was curious, LOL. I was going to post it but you beat me to it. All I can say is that you can sell anything including your boss on ebay, I have seen it, LOLOLOL. If anything, I just hope she is sincere.

I wonder how doing this makes history? I guess to be the first person who paid for someone's surgery through ebay? I would never have the courage to do anything like that, but if I did, it would be along the lines of an ebay post for a $20 donation or something. I have seen that before, but I've never seen someone flat out ask for that much money.
Despiration comes in all forms and flavors, but I think some people go a little far, you know?
