Hi Nancy, and welcome. Believe me, I have been where you are and completely understand. The great thing about the band is, once we are ready to get back on track again, it is there waiting for us and ready to help. We are glad to have you here and look forward to getting to know you better.

Hi there and welcome. We are so glad you decided to join as well. So your enjoying that pureed chili, huh?

Wow, sounds like you went through a lot, but at least everything turned out well in the end. Congratulations on getting approval and a date. Let us know if you have any questions.

Hi and welcome. Have you tried posting this in our insurance and financing section? You might have better luck there. Here is the link: Insurance & Financing - Lap Band Surgery and Lap Band Discussion Forum

Welcome and congratulations on your decision to get the surgery. Personally, I wish I would have learned about this long before my weight reached the point it did. I think you are making a wonderful choice. Are you on your pre-op diet yet? Let us know if you have any questions.

Hi Robin, from another Floridian. Welcome to LBT. Have you decided on which surgeon you will be using yet? Let us know if you have any questions. We are all here to help each other through this journey.

LJM, congrats on the boy. So glad he finally decided to cooperate!

Hi there. First off, welcome to LBT. Actually, I remember the almost migraine-like headaches when I first went on my pre-op diet as well. I am sorry to say, I didn't find much that helped, but after about day four, I think my system adjusted because the headaches went away. I hope yours do as well.

Hi there and welcome. Glad you found us, you have done great with the band. I am sure you will be able to add a lot of valuable knowledge and offer some great advice to those who are just starting out. The surgery you are talking about, isn't that a type of plastic surgery? I am not sure, because I haven't reached that point in my journey yet. If so, you might want to check out our forum dedicated to plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Hi Bubz! Welcome to LBT, we are glad you found us and decided to join. Three days post-op, how are you feeling thus far?

Hi Kathy, and welcome. Whichever surgery you decide to go with, you will find lots of great advice here. We also have forums dedicated to Canada and gastric sleeves. Feel free to ask any and all questions you need to help you decide which wls to go with. We are happy to help.

Welcome and congrats on getting your band. You will find lots of great information here at LBT. We look forward to getting to know you better.

So, those of you that do have facebook, I would love to have you add me as well. My link is in my signature.

Hey, how did I miss this introduction when it was originally posted? Anyways, welcome to all of my fellow Jacksonville neighbors.

So, you are saying those who post in this forum are pigs???

Ask him what he does while eating cheetos!

Ugh, what has it been, 5, maybe 10 minutes and I already broke my vow. Damnit, Susan!!!!!

I am well aware of the options to not visit threads and the option to ignore users, however, I can't do that. Actually, on another thread in which this and the abortion topic was being discussed, I was quite vocal. I chose to step back and not post here as much; not because I have an issue with the bible or Christians in general, but because I did find the constant accusations being made and justified because of the bible to be offensive, and was concerned about my ability to respond in an appropriate manner, thus chose not to respond at all.

Fanny, thanks for clearing that up. SNT, it's ok, there are times when I don't even know what I am talking about. Now, I am going to vow to attempt to stay out of that thread that makes me so mad before I start fighting with people and get banned from this site. If that were to happen, what would I do? Go out and have a real life? Shudder at the thought!

This is the "let fly" board and in being so, I was basically stating what many others have expressed to me as well, they are tired of being called sinners, murderers, and basically being judged. I am not whining, hell, maybe I am. Just because I am a mod/admin doesn't mean I am not allowed to whine too. I will happily accept some cheese to go with my whine, please. The way this topic has been approached has only served to turn me even further off to Christianity. I feel like people are being judged, when my understanding was that according to Christians, only God can judge.

Ohhh, no Denise, I got one of my most wonderful gifts ever on Christmas, my daughter!!! By the way, I am glad that unfill has resolved your issues. That is the strangest case of being over-filled I have ever heard of though. I mean, normally if you are, you can't get anything down.

Nancy, what you say is spot on. People don't come to lbt to be preached at, and that is what appears to be happening in this thread. If they want to hear a sermon, they will go to church.

It took you getting partially through this thread to get annoyed? What took you so long?

LMAO!! :tt1::cheers2:

By the way, I am personally offended because I sent Plain a friend request and he never responded. :yesnod::tt1::cheers2:
