New Features on VerticalSleeveTalk
We've added a few small features to VerticalSleeveTalk which should make your experience even more enjoyable than it already is Album Picture Clicks to Next Picture in Album: This feature allow you to click on an album picture to go to the next picture in an album. This feature makes albums work just like in facebook and other sites in regard to what happens when you click on a picture. New Thread Notifications: This feature adds instant email notification for entire forums. If you are subscribed to a forum using instant email notification, whenever a new thread is posted you will be sent an email containing the details and the thread text. Automatic Media Embeder: Allows you to simply 'paste' in a URL (i.e. a youtube link) without needing to know any special tags. However instead of displaying just the URL, it will show the media within the post.

I got over the fear of having my photos online. The first few years after WLS I was really worried about many different things. Look at FaceBook and other social networking web sites. Almost every single person has their pics posted.

Yikes! Working on a permanent fix at the moment....

Should LapBandTalk have forums for OTHER Weight Loss Surgeries?
Thanks! Just to give you an idea on the sites we're launching: 1) Realize Band Forum 2) RNY Forum 3) WLS Revision Forum 4) Plastic Surgery Forum 5) Recipe Forum 6) Duodenal Switch Forum 7) One Main Site which will pull content from all sites together I've found that having one web site serving the needs of multiple communities isn't the greatest idea. That's one of the main reasons we're going to keep LBT focused on one thing - Lap-Band and only Lap-Band. Stay tuned......
