anyone else getting hacked?

I have not had a problem. It has been going straight to the site. I am not sure what hacked means.

OMG Sept 6th...so exciting. Ummm did you say hopefully our band procedures will work? Slap yourself woman of course it will.... , we are gonna do this and be successful!!!! 3 days for you. No more negativity on these boards --its bad karma....we don't want that now do we? I am so excited for you. Nervous yet? Did you have to do liquids this last week? I go in on 9/27..whoo hoo!! Omg i can't sit still...lol I will probably fidgit the weight off by the time the actual surgery date gets here...ha ha wouldn't that be funny!!:omg:

Yes, I am on the liquid fast. It's going pretty good with some small lapses, but I am going to stick to it, to a tee from here on out. :biggrin1: That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Thanks for the encouragement! This will work. I am going to give it my best shot. :bandit :bandit :bandit :bandit :bandit :bandit :bandit :bandit

I am very fidgety, also. I can't wait! :)

Hey next week, good luck. Are you excited or nervous?

I am nervous. Big time. I am also being banded by Dr. Ortiz.

Bettina,

I could understand her calling us out, if we had at least done something to her, but to do nothing to someone, and for them to try to put someone's head on a platter... I'm just glad it's over. I have my lapband done September 6. I am so excited! :biggrin1: :biggrin1: We just need to focus on our lapbands, and not let anyone try to get us down. Good luck! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Yup I remember your name being there too!! Funny nobody wants it talked about --as if we are supposed to take it and not even defend ourselves...almost sounds like rape doesn't it?? I understand the bickering by the people heavily involved, they had a problem....but when that particular person -(notice I am not naming names I dont want to be associated with that same pool of people)--started pulling us in because we happened to be on the board is so totally wrong!!

:) :) :) Peace to All! :) :) :) :) :)

what drama?!?!?!?!?!

Take it from me ya don't want to know.:straight

tayvia99,

I have heard some bandsters say they were not required to go on a pre-op diet, some doctors don't want to torture their patients anymore than they have to. Hope this helps.

Bettina, she did the same thing to me and I am a newbie, and never had any animosity toward her. I don't even know her. I was just reading posts to learn about the lapband, too. Then she attacks me for no reason. I have done nothing to her, yet she puts my name in a post and calls me a shark (at least, I think that is what she called me whatever that means. ) Man, if I was an easily provoked person I might have had words with her. :heh: But my mother always said to give people the benefit of the doubt. :eek: :clap2:

I share your feelings Jenna. But I do agree with Diva on that the person should be banned and not just the name. One of the banned was really nasty and self rightous! I have never had dealings with her yet she accused me and a few others of being sharks because we happened to be reading posts that she happened to be looking at too. I look at all the posts--I am trying to learn all I can before being banded. Ugh she made me sick...she was a total head case! It was all I could do not to blast her back...a person can only take so much annoying crap. I just don't know where someone things that they are so much better than someone else and they have the right to blast without getting blasted back. And people say well don't go on that board, it seems that this is talked about on every one lately. So yeah it makes some look like stalkers. I liked how you pointed out the name calling--I guess that person forgot how it feels. So sad really. You know that people like that just have to be miserable in their everyday life. Can you imagine being a cashier and having someone like that standing in your line..yikes.

I love Big Brother and have watched it for 7 years. I think it's great! Nice know other members on here enjoy it too.

I know how you feel I have been having the same problem. I have lapband surgery on September 6. I have resolved to stay on my liquid diet and if I get too hungry, I will take some of the suggestions above to help suppress my appetite.

Hi James,

I am being banded by Dr. Ortiz on September 6. I am soo excited. I just found your thread today so that is why I have not posted sooner.

I am so sorry about your precious pet. I have two dogs of my own. Over the years I have several pets and I know I hard it is to bear. I send my sincere condolences to you.

Greetings to All,

I am scheduled for surgery on September 6, 2006. Hooray!!!! I now weigh 259 and will be on a liquid diet for 2 weeks.
