It kept doing it to me yesterday until I hurried up and clicked a link on the lapband site and it quit, hasn't done it since.... but weird, nonetheless.

I didn't know if it was the site or my computer.

It was the site, there were 2 posts that were hacking.

Yep, I saw it!

LBT didnt do anything funny when I logged on - but I did see a crazy looking thread title.

*rolling my eyes*

oh brother... Alex, please come to our rescue!

I couldn't get on at all this morning. Keep showing www.lapbandtalk.com/hacked and then went to what I thoughtwas a German Site.

I have a good (well I thought so) firewall and since I use a router that acts as additional protection...But still had this trouble.

Came on this afternoon and all was normal.

Hmmm, I seen the hack thread. It was empty (no posts) when I seen it, I just hit back button and ddn't click anything. I figured it would be deleted.

I didn't notice anything weird about the site though, But I do have a firewall maybe thats why

It happened to me, some kinda hack guy with no teeth, or very few. What does this mean? Can they see what we are doing? I am freaking out!

They can only access us through LBT, yes it's quite annoying but it's not high tech.

Is it possible to find out WHO is at the bottom of this whole issue??? I realize there is always some risk when in cyberspace but yikes... this is pretty freaky for a support group site!

I'm sure that Alex could find out because all of the hackers come up listed as new members. I would assume (I'm not a techie) that they could then ban their IP address. It's kind of sad that someone would do that to a support site since the past few days have been so nice.

      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.
