I'm a lapbandtalk addict too, it's up all day at work. I found that when I disappeared from the site for a few months a while back, I lost focus and almost forgot about my band. Coming here is a constant remember and a great motivater.

I enjoy it too ! Everyone is different here, and sometimes we all hear about the same old problems. Yet for everyone, the solution might be a little different.

It keeps it interesting.

Ditto to all said. Love the site. On it every day. It's a lifeline to all the bandsters out there.

Me too. I was so much more ready for the surgery and aftermath by spending as much time on here as I did. And post-surgery, as long as I am on here, I am not using my hands for eating. So it is a win, win.

Same here! I love educating myself on these boards about life with the band-the ups and down, food, nutrition, and of course GREAT support! :-)

I love this place too. Everybody going through the same things. Also there are a few people that I really respect and love to read their posts such as Elcee and Jachut and some others. We are missing some who like Elcee and Jachut were really great posters who left, but I am glad they were here when I was first banded.

So true. I can see it in my mind already. Can I keep smoking crack while I have the band? lol bet before long that might happen. You are another one that I always feel like I have read an honest, down to earth answer from.

Thanks Cheri :) LOL, with the title of "My Crack", I was thinking about someone posting about their crack .... like an issue with saggy butt skin , a rash or something. :ciappa: Or even plumber's crack issues with all the low rise jeans out there now days.

LOL, yes, plumber's crack was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the title.

I visit off and on all day and night. I am a member of several message boards and this is always the first or second one I visit when I sit down and fire up the internet. it is a great site with lots of good information and a fantastic support system. I really like it here and have met some wonderful people through it. Very grateful it exists and it has helped me immensely with this lapband journey.

Well,,, I guess I'm not alone with that thought... LOL

I just did 3 days in the Hospital, and this about somes it up.

It's close to crack.

THE GOWN WITH THE SPLIT DOWN THE BACK

I was sittin’ there mindin’ my business,

Sort of lettin’ my mind go slack,

When in walked a nurse with a bright sunny smile,

And a gown with a split down the back.

“Take shower,” she said, “and get ready,

And then you jump into the sack.”

And what she was really talking about,

Was that gown with the split down the back.

“They are going to make some tests,” she told me,

And now I’ll be stretched on a rack,

With nothing twixt me and the cruel cold world,

But that gown with the split down the back.

It barely reaches my knees in the front,

At the sides there is also a lack—

But the greatest shortcoming of all,

Is that bloomin’ ole split in the back.

Whoever designed this garment,

For humor, must have had a great knack,

But I fail to see anything funny,

About a gown with a split down the back.

It won’t cover my knees,

It flaps in the breeze,

And I sure don’t dare sneeze—

I’d much rather they give me a sack,

Than a gown with a split down the back.

I hear them comin’ to get me,

The wheels goin’ clicktey clack,

I’ll ride through the halls on a gurney,

In a gown with a split down the back.

When I get to Heaven, it will make me no odds,

If my robe is white, red, or black,

But one thing I’ll ask—

Is, “Please, Please give me one,

With No split down the back?”

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
