Yea, I wonder what the ratio of male/female we have here on the LBT? I think there should be some male representation on the graphics too! Maybe someones Great before/after shot... say, like chris_nj or someone...

Actually the girl at the top isn't a bandster, she's just stock imagery. Alex added her (I believe his reason was "sex appeal") when he redesigned the site several months ago.

So don't worry, it isn't female over male bandsters, there aren't any bandsters at all. :P

Well in my opinion the photo should be of a "bandster" not some chik that wouldnt know what the word "overweight" meant.

It would be good to see a male and female together (aftershot) that have had the band..

We dont get the band done for "Sex appeal" we get it for our health and to save our lives.

Or have a male and female before shot on the left and their after shot on the right so people considering the band can see that their is hope and it works..

This is only my opinion... :P

You can have your screen without her at the top---with no person on it at all if you prefer it that way.

When she was first added I remember people thinking it was Racheal Ray---had to laugh at it---a cooking diva on a WLS board!!

I forget she is even there!! The wierd side ads, and ads all over were not fun, but they got cleaned up, and if all we have to deal with is a strange face looking at us---it really doesn't bother me. I did have surgery to regain health, but hell sex appeal ranked right up there to be honest!

I only personally know a hand full of bandsters, and then "know" many through LBT, but I wouldn't know anyone else they put up there likely, so it really doesn't affect me....because as each day goes by I get closer and closer to being able to pose with abandon like that!!!

Love my band!

I've got mine set to where I don't see her. She's got a ghost arm that bugged the crap out of me once I noticed it. It was like I couldn't see anything else. :phanvan

But if someone did not know better.....

For instance, if there were suddenly a new Band Board, and we put up a pick of Jachut, or Chickie, or JulieNYC----among many others----who would ever have thought them to be a WLS patient???

Imagination! I use mine to imagine that someday I will be someone no one believes ever had been overweight!

Til then maybe I just live vicariously through the unknown skinny mini on the top of the page!!! I don't know, she has just never bothered me!

I live to annoy! :biggrin1: Heck, I'm the type of person who can't stop staring at picture frames that are hung even a fraction of an inch off level. In fact, the more subtle it is, the more it bugs me. My parents' house has a bunch of side-by-side windows in the living room that have curtains hung on tension rods in each window. I had to have my dad (I'm too short to reach it) fix one of them because the tension rod in that window was placed about 1/2-3/4 of an inch lower than the ones in the other windows. I couldn't stop staring at it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
