LapBandTalk CHAT



Recommended Posts

Alex,

The chat room screen is larger now, but still some words can't be seen when somebody writes a long sentence. Is there someway that the screen can scroll to the right so can read the whole sentence?

Your office firewall is probably blocking port 51127 and 51128. We're looking into ways of getting around this.

There's no need for anybody to install or upgrade to Java any longer, our new solution only uses Flash on the front end.

Thanks! Please let us know if/when this gets fixed. :D Thank you so much for all your dedication to this cause! The support is priceless.

I appreciate the work, but the latest version of the chat software really isn't user friendly. There's plenty of features, but little room for the actual text. People using large fonts can quite literally fill the page with single sentence, and that makes it hard to follow conversations.

Just my $.02

I really liked the flashchat version we had a long time back.

Hi all,

At least you can access the chat rooms. I can't even get a room to open. I select chat and nothing comes up.

Anyway, I am recently banded (3 mos) an often I feel this really sore aching pain in my abdomen. It' been really bad the last two days but better today. I take a pain killer and it gets better. It's worse when I stand or rise up from bed suddenly. I had a vomiting espiode a few days ago and thougth maybe I was just sore. It feels like I've been doing sit ups.

Has anyone else ever had this problem?

Agrees that people who CAN access chat are lucky I am jonesing I havent been able to get in the last week. Hold a pillow next to your body when getting up or down that might help.

I joined because there was a chat room in which I could discuss the lapband with people that had it. Now I had my surgery on Thursday and I have yet to be able to get to the chat room everytime i try it goes to the page showing how many in a chat and says Logging in now but never changes. I was really looking forward to going in to be able to talk with the fellow bandsters let them know I got my band and get support through this time of adjustment with my band.

I never had much luck on the chat either. Find a thread you really like and you will get lots of support from there. Our group was banded in Texarkana, TX. So we have a Texarkana bandsters thread. I started it. Long time ago. We love it because we are all under the same doc, rules, ect. Sometimes we get a little slack about posting (like me). But for the most part we try to keep it active, especially for the newbies like you. Hope you are feeling well. Where did you have your surgery? There our LOTS of threads, find one you like, you will enjoy it. I will help any way I can.

Yes I am feeling very well, no real problems to mention! I had my surgery at Memorial Hospital in Tampa Floirda. I am not one for the message boards, I love the chat.

I am one week out from having lap band and just wondering if there is any advice that I should have before doing the surgery.

      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
