This place is too much fun.

The sound of yet another one being sucked into the vortex...

It's really just a great big experiment - how long does it take most people to get addicted to LBT??

lol

You are in fine company... Now you understand why we eroded people could never seriously dream of leaving...

It's harder at home, since I have dial up - but when work is slow, I am all over LBT all day long...

Thank Goodness I found this place! Yup, it's better than crack.

Hi everybody. My name is Jen and I'm an LBT o'holic. (Everybody...hi Jen).

Well, it first started back in July. It was very innocent at first. I was trying to find out info about the lapband. After visiting no less than 50 websites, one doctor said on his site....I'm not going to sugar coat this. There are some people that struggle even after the band. I am not affiliated with this site, but it may be helpful in your research...Lapbandtalk.com.

Well, I went to this site. At first, it was free. They offered me a little and said, "It won't hurt".

The next day, I found myself pacing around the computer. Should I go there? Well, a little won't hurt (like potato chips). At this time, it was still free (looking back, I see that I was being lured into the vortex).

By the next day, I was on here 2-3 hours/day. Only now, it was like $10 a bag. Oh wait, I'm getting mixed up. I mean free.

So here I am, now 4-5 hours a day. Still free!! Where else can you feed an addiction for free?

So, welcome to my 12 step program.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
