Oh, my, I've been going crazy without this board!



Recommended Posts

Yup; I can get crazy with out my 'hit' of LBT. I'm back into doing my 'check in'...and it feels good to have it.

Without it; I panic. :help:

yep- me too; I was having major head hunger last night and I use this board as a crutch to talk me off the potential binge that might occur otherwise.

yea for LBT!

HOORAY!!!!

I don't know what I'd do without this board. It has been my lifeline through this journey.

It appears one of the servers at the company that hosts the site crashed over the weekend. I was so worried something had happened and I lost lapbandtalk for good.

I am so happy it is back. My surgery is scheduled for 11/20 and reading posts on here really calms me down. I kept checking it every 15 minutes. I admit that some not very nice words came out of my mouth.

I was so worried that it was gone for good. I'm so glad that it's back. I may not get the chance to come on here everyday, but when I do get the chance and it's not available...I freak out. I'm so glad that it's back...now I can sigh a sigh of relief.:clap2:

And there doesn't seem to be another board out there like this one! Not one that is as active and devoted to lap band surgery, at least not that I could find. Being somewhat housebound after having my surgery on Thursday, I really wanted to get on this site!!!

Dang, I never realize how addicted I am to this site until it's UNAVAILABLE!!! I've been going through withdrawals!

Same here! I've been trying to get on since last night and I've been checking it about every 30 minutes. Glad to be back!

:clap2:

I still take the cake here. I went so far as to track down the company that hosts the site this morning and called them just to make sure there really was "just" a technical difficulty and that someone was working on it. I apologized right and left for calling them telling them I knew it wasn't really my place to call, but they were very friendly and said they knew there was a problem and would have it back up shortly.

I just couldn't stand not knowing if Lapbandtalk was permanently MIA due to funding problems or who knows what reason as opposed to just some computer glitch which thankfully is what it was. If it had been down for the count I was already trying to work out ways to start a drive to bring it back. I think (strike that I KNOW!!!) I'd even be willing to pay a membership fee to keep this site going if it ever came to that. I am ever gratefull to the person/people that started this site and those that help to monitor and keep it going.

Wow! Me too. I was trying every 15 min. or so, thought it was a problem with my computer. I am a lap band talk junkie I guess!:(

I know! It was down for 2 days and I had to go to obesity help. :( It's ok but seems more geared toward RNY.

        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.

      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
