Taking Suggestions for NEW LBT Features!



Recommended Posts

We're working on adding new features to LBT over the next few months. If you have any suggestions on features you'd like to see added, please let us know.

Here is a list of what we're working on:

- New LBT forum skin design

- Photo Gallery

- Fix journals

- Clothes exchange

- Our own Tickers geared for Bandsters.

- Surgery dates

- Angel feature

- Allow members to add, rate, review and discuss Insurers, Govt programs, Hospitals, Lap-band Surgeon, Plastic Surgeon, Dietician/Nutritionist, Primary Care Physician, Psychologist, sleep Center Professional and other professionals

- Lap-band Surgeon and Lap-band Professionals Directory

you could allow us to put higher pixel photos on this site. it wont allow my 2 add my pics as the pixels on my camera are too high.

Sugarplum...

You can get around this by resizing your photos to make them smaller. My camera is 10 megapixels and I post photos all the time.

For those of us in metric countries who don't speak inches and pounds fluently, how about tickers that show both metric and imperial measurements (at the same time!!!).

Loving the existing LBT and the other suggestions...

The clothes exchange sounds great. Also, maybe more info on computer-related stuff. I thought I was computer savy, but can't for the life of me figure out how paste my ticker into my signature. I typed "ticker" in the search field, = 0 results.Still trying!

One more thing, Maybe a quick view on front page of age of bands, etc.

Example: Taterbugs: banded 2001 @ xxx lbs, today @ xxx lbs. But in a table of some sort.

I good "help and tutorial" section would eliminate the need for posts on the subject (tickers are a prime example and photos)

Having the "chat" fixed would be great. It sounds like the rest of the list is wonderful.

This has been the most amazing forum I've ever been a part of....Ok well maybe the only one, but thats because the rest weren't any good!

I second the tickers that show both the metric and the imperial measurments. I get soo confused when i read posts from people in countries with the metric system and its annoying to have to go and do the conversions.

Tickers are not LBT features. Those are created at sites such as www.tickerfactory.com and the code is just pasted into the signature lines here. There is a detailed post about how to create tickers for your signatures using tickerfactory. It is located in the Frequently Asked Questions Forum, but if you click on the link below.. that thread will open for you.

I think the clothes exchange is a really cool idea.

I would like to see a place for future lap banders or people wanting to know about lap band info and questions for people to look at that aren't normally explained in other areas since most people are banded already.

I haven't read through every post here so maybe this has already been mentioned, but since we have a "life after removal" forum, what about a "life after goal" forum? Many of our "goalies" still have their bands, and still continue to face the same struggles as the rest of us... they're just doing it in smaller sizes. ;)

Would it be possible to get spell check? I know that I post when everyone is sleeping at my house and that can be 3 in the morning and my spelling is terrible to begin with and lack of sleep makes it much worse. ~Mandy

Mandy ~ There is a spell check. I think I had to download it the first time I used it. Do you see a check mark with ABC above it when you post? If you use the advanced post option it's above the smilies. Hope you find it. If not, PM me and maybe I can help. I cannot live without my spell check. ;)

For long posts I use my email account first then spell check, copy paste. For short ones I say oh well..

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • 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
