We've received one common request over the last year+ from members on LapBandTalk who've undergone or are interested in the Realize® Band procedure: An online community they can call their own. Following the success of LapBandTalk and VerticalSleeveTalk, we're happy to announce that we've just launched the beta release of the Realize Band Support Community, located at RealizeBandSupport.com . We're confident that you'll find what you're looking for at the new Realize Band Support (RBS) Community. If you're currently a member of LapBandTalk or VerticalSleeveTalk, you can just log in with your current credentials, there's no need to sign up for a new account.

Looking for information and community after your Realize Band Surgery? Look no further. You'll find everything you need at RealizeBandSupport.com . I started LapBandTalk the night I came home from surgery mid July 2003. Following my own Lap-Band® procedure, I was looking for information and community support. I came across a few helpful web sites, but they all lacked a sense of actually belonging to a group of people who share many similarities, struggles and habits. After years of researching and reaching out to the community, we've been able to build the most comprehensive online resources for all types of Weight Loss Surgeries. Hundreds of thousands of registered members contribute amazing stories and useful information to our pages.

New content is updated every 15 minutes. I'm going to change it to every 5 minutes later this evening and we'll see if that effects things in any way. To see your own posts and other content, please click on the Signed in as _____ at the top left of any page and click on "My Content"

Relax, we're on it. If you need to talk to someone immediately when chat is down, just post on the forums.

It should be back up now. Chat is still running partially off our old system. By the end of tomorrow it should be all moved over and we should really be good to go for a long time.

This is already an option Please see http://www.lapbandta...ea=ignoredusers .

The errors you received we due to us moving LBT to a new home. Over the years LBT has grown quite a bit and we thought it would be a great idea to move the web site to "the cloud." It was a fantastic idea in concept but didn't work as planed. We had quite a few outages and pages on the web site were taking ages to load. We recently moved back to our own array of servers and our members should experience a lot more stability and speed. We plan on increasing our capacity shortly and our members experience should only get better. We also made some major changes to the back/front end used for LBT. We had over 1,500,000 posts to convert and over 100,000 members to migrate to our new platform. We've completed almost all of our major changes and you will continue to see new and useful features added to LBT on a regular basis. This new platform will allow us to scale and grow without running in to issues we've had previously. I'm here listening to our members complaints, comments and feedback and we will continue to improve our community based on your valuable feedback.

I wasn't aware of this issue until now....It's been fixed. In the future, please PM or email me and I'll have any issue corrected pretty quickly. We recently moved to new servers and made some changes to the overall design of the web site. Things should be in fine working order now and will continue to get even better over the next few weeks.

We've made some changes and tweaks to the site. Are you finding the site loading a lot quicker for you now ?
