Are you guys aware of the fact LapBand Talk has a Twitter? Are you also aware of the fact our threads and blog posts are fed onto it?? If you type it here, or on your blog here, it can and does end up on their Twitter feed.

That is uber WRONG!!!! Although, we probably waived that privacy when we clicked "Agree" cuz not too many people read those terms. Tomorrow I get my face off this avi.

My photos are gone as of a couple days ago. As soon as the blogs are back up, I'll be deleting mine entirely.

It's such a shame..... This has been such a great support system, and now it feels somewhat, tainted.

Okay, I admit this pisses me off some. If I want to say something on twitter I'll join the mofo. If one of my posts on here shows up on twitter I won't be happy. That is uncalled for.

Having a unpleasant morning.........

Mis-

You've been finding some things I want to protect myself against. Would you detail what actions you are taking so that I can make sure I check all my stuff? This is the only forum I've ever belonged to do I don't want to miss something.

Thanks so much!

The pictures I honestly found by accident. I was searching "lap band" and "photos" and I found that article with the pictures by sheer luck.

The Twitter I found because on my own Twitter, I saw a girl who had both MS and had WLS (like me!). When I looked at who she followed, LapBand Talk was one. So of course I had a look and there it was.

Just changed my profile pic. It's sad that Big Brother is always watching.

I don't know how to tweet. Maybe Alex needs to be told that people don't want their life on tweet.

People on this forum post pictures, tell their life's journey with obesity, diseases, even family matters, or love affairs...all kinds of info is contributed....

And ANYONE in the whole wide world can log on and read - view what we freely post about ourselves...

Twitter or anything else for that matter is no different...you post it...anyone can read it....

If you go to your "Profile Page" and check settings, you will see Facebook and twitter options there...

Stop and think how popular facebook is, and ask yourself how did Mark Zuckerberg make so much money, since you do not pay a fee to join facebook?

Does not matter what your security lockouts are set to, all your information is being sold off to big brother....your "likes" what you "read" where you "Travel", "Music" "Friends" "Education" it's ALL there......and it is available to those willing to pay for it....

I was trying to locate a old College buddy once...all I had was a name and hometown....I could not believe the trail of information I was able to collect on the internet, through his work history, his children, home sales, mortgages, permit applications for home improvements, Taxes, you name it...finally right down to home address, phone #, a picture of his home from the street view, and also a photo's of him.

And I'm not a hacker...it was all there, just follow the trail....and it was very easy.

        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
