As Elizabeth said, the name calling and personal attacks need to stop immediately, or we will be forced to close this thread. Also, please stop naming names regarding fellow LBT members. LBT rules are to respect one another, and attack the idea, not the person! Thank you.

Hi Wynd and welcome to LBT! I went through the same thing as you with my first pregnancy, I was absolutely bored out of my mind. That was when they first came out with Nintendo, and I became a real pro at many of the games. Anyways, we are glad you have decided to join us here.

Hi Denise, and welcome, we are glad you found us! It sounds like you are doing wonderfully thus far and have a great attitude as well. We look forward to getting to know you as you go through your lapband journey.

Hi and welcome, you have come to a great place for support and advice. You said you haven't lost any weight in two months, when was your last fill? Do you feel like it is time for another one, or are there other issues?

Cindi, I don't think this is inappropriate at all. I think it is wonderful that you are willing to offer the equipment to help your fellow bandsters at such a cheap price. Hopefully you will get someone to take you up on your kind offer.

Hello to you too! Welcome to LBT!

Yep, that pretty much sums it up.

Hi and welcome to LBT. When do you have your next appointment with your surgeon? I would definitely ask him/her what the pre-op diet requirements are.

I am sorry you have been struggling. What is important that you recognized what you did, and now you get back on track, lose that 14 pounds and get your band. You can do this, and don't let anyone get in your way.

Hi and welcome to LBT, we are glad to have you here.

Hi and welcome back! Hopefully everything will go wonderfully and you will be banded soon. Keep us posted on your progress.

Well, congratualtions on being denied then, lol!

Actually, hiccups are my stop sign. It is really special when I am eating with co-workers or out to dinner and I start doing the loud, obnoxious hiccuping.

Rollercoasters make me I get motion sickness if I attempt to play video games on my kids PS3, sad, huh?

Hi, we are happy to have you here!

Hi Kimmie, we are glad you found us too! We look forward to getting to know you better.

Are you backing working now?

I am glad to hear everything went well with your surgery! Um, how is the hubby doing now that it is over and you are fine?

Julie, I will keep my fingers crossed for you and dh!

The gentleman has indeed joined LBT. Lets give him as much support and advice as we can.

Julie, congrats on reaching goal, I too am so impressed. Ok, and jealous too, I admit it, lol. I am just now finally getting back on track after all the problems I had last year. The good news is, I joined a gym last week. My dd and dh are going with me and we love it. Having it be a "family outing" is making it so much more fun.
