Thats right! We have finished the new skin for LapBandTalk.com. After taking your suggestions on the other skin many of you were unhappy with it so we decided to remake another. Hopefully this one is much better and you all enjoy it more! If you have any questions or concerns with the skin please PM me or post them in this thread.

If you do not currently see the new skin, please click the link below:

Alex, I like it! I find it much easier on the eyes. I just need to re-orient myself. :)

I'm soooo confused! Now it looks to me like the OLD skin, but a few minutes ago I saw the new one. I suppose it will all come clear in time.

Hmm, I only see the new one, with the girl at the top. Maybe Alex is messing with us.

How weird! We're looking at the same page, and I see the old one.

I saw that girl, though; who d'ya think that is? :)

While the skin is nice, I don't like the orientation of the ads to the left because now it causes me to shift my page to read the right side. On the teal skin when the ads were on the right, I could still read all of the board without problems and the ads were still there, yet I did not have to shift anything.

Also where is the Today's Posts or New Posts??? That is the feature I use 99% of the time!

Okay, I'm a dee dee dee, I did find the new posts, but it is awkward having it off the tool bar and as part of a sentence. The color for the "new posts" link doesn't stand out so it is not easy to find.

Also, the other thing about the ads being in the left is that we read from left to right (in English anyway), while ad placement on the left would then direct you to the ad first, it is aggravating. Especially when on the net we are used to menus being on the left of pages and ads usually being on the right.

I actually prefer the ads on the left side. Maybe I'm right-brained....who knows. Certainly not in my "right" mind, though.....LOL

Who's the girl at the top? I hope she has a Lap Band. I deplore the use of ringers in weight loss forums (or ads).

Nice skin, BTW, Alex...

        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!

      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
