Confusing Web Site...



Recommended Posts

I signed up a couple of days ago. I'm getting emails that say there are responses to my post. (I had asked about support groups in Clear Lake, TX). When I click the links, I'm taken somewhere else entirely, or when I am taken to my post there is no link to the responses. This is the most confusing site I've ever seen. My first instinct was to just leave, but I thought you need to hear this. I'm not an idiot, but neither do I have an hour or two to figure out a website that may or may not be able to help me. It's easier to must move to the next hit on Google. Sorry.

Generally this site just sucks and is unbelievably not user friendly! It has gotten worse with every 'improvement"! I have had about two/thirds of my friends deleted and now recently I have noticed my before and after pics have disappeared!

On the other hand, the people on here are generally great, supportive, honest, and wise so its still sort of worth it!

Alex is the main moderator but I suspect he isnt real!

Omar, I'm sorry you're having issues. The site had a server problem recently and it's taken a little time to get it back to "normal". Maybe try logging out, closing the widow and reopening it. I had to do that on my phone to see it after the problems.

There are many knowlegable and helpful people on this site.

I'm from the Clear Lake area and would be happy to team up with you. Not sure How great my advice is but I can try.

Give LBT another chance.

Good luck to you.

Hey Alex, when I click on go to "first unread post," it just takes me to the first post. Then I have to scroll down through everything I've already seen. Just an FYI. It's the same on my Mac and my Win XP machine. It's been that way since before the the server crashed. I think since the last software update.

Ok thanks Alex you are seeming real to me now. Someone named Ken I think fixed my photos and I think he may be real too...

My patient data's disappeared twice since I started visiting again a week ago, and I can't be bothered fixing it again. But aside from that I've been here for a fair few iteratons of this site, and for the most part, they all sucked in parts of it, and was awesome in others. But overall, the information and support I got here was invaluable, so I kept coming back. I learnt more from some of the members here about my band than all the books and all the other sites mixed together.

And Alex, suuuuuureee you're real! ;)

I have the same issue as Cocoabean. I have been complaining about it since I think the upgrade before last but it hasn't been fixed yet. It is really annoying especially when you get the email and click on the link in that and you have to go through from the beginning again.

So Alex if you really are real please fix it.

Hello,

I believe this is fixed. You may not notice it immediately. Once you start a new topic, or reply to a topic - (after this message) you should begin noticing that it's working. Please do confirm either way :-)

Thanks,

Ken

I wish you could skip to more recent pages/comments per individual topics on the mobile website. I know i used to see that option before but now i can't. Makes things very frustrating. :(

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
