No one chats on here



Recommended Posts

What's up with that? Why don't we use the chat room? Schedule a date and time we can all really chat with one another...

Every time I go in there, no one is there or someone is just leaving as I enter. Is it bad B.O.? Heh..:heh:

hey I said that months ago - or was that just last week? lol....yep - apparently when someone WAS in there it appears they are still there - so when we get there it looks like they are leaving......

ok now that everyone is confused - I agree - we should set up specific times so we KNOW someone is there to talk to ??????

It confuses me how so many people seem to want to chat, yet whenever I go into the room, no one is there and no one ever sets a date and time to chat. Couldn't we just have regularly scheduled chats? Like for example, every Monday at 8:00pm Eastern or something like that???

I recommend -- let's leave our chat room box OPEN -- go on and read threads, etc but check once in a while to see if someone is in there - when I first came here - if I hadn't been persistent I might not have stayed - and gotten to meet such great people who are truly my friends in this weight-loss battle........let's try to do better for the next newbie eh?

I don't preach - I'm not rude - but hey - suggestion: when someone NEW or ready to be BANDED comes to visit the chat room -- let's continue our fun/silly conversations....but let's also help them...I am NOT banded so I try to recommend people they might want to Private Message - or suggest a THREAD or a particular POST....we were ALL new once....let's show newbies how friendly we really are! I know there are 'groups' of people who have known one another for a long time and sometimes forget how it feels to be the new person on LBT but I think we can all manage to share with a new person and listen to their questions and concerns. I've met an awesome group of people on here - successful - with and without the band - let's share our experiences with others too!

Can we also ask: Can the FlashChat be fixed so that it FLASHES when someone has typed something? or at least when a NEW member has entered? since it minimizes while we do other things on LBT we don't know if someone else is in there...........

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
