I signed up a couple of days ago. I'm getting emails that say there are responses to my post. (I had asked about support groups in Clear Lake, TX). When I click the links, I'm taken somewhere else entirely, or when I am taken to my post there is no link to the responses. This is the most confusing site I've ever seen. My first instinct was to just leave, but I thought you need to hear this. I'm not an idiot, but neither do I have an hour or two to figure out a website that may or may not be able to help me. It's easier to must move to the next hit on Google. Sorry.

Generally this site just sucks and is unbelievably not user friendly! It has gotten worse with every 'improvement"! I have had about two/thirds of my friends deleted and now recently I have noticed my before and after pics have disappeared!

On the other hand, the people on here are generally great, supportive, honest, and wise so its still sort of worth it!

Alex is the main moderator but I suspect he isnt real!

Omar, I'm sorry you're having issues. The site had a server problem recently and it's taken a little time to get it back to "normal". Maybe try logging out, closing the widow and reopening it. I had to do that on my phone to see it after the problems.

There are many knowlegable and helpful people on this site.

I'm from the Clear Lake area and would be happy to team up with you. Not sure How great my advice is but I can try.

Give LBT another chance.

Good luck to you.

Hey Alex, when I click on go to "first unread post," it just takes me to the first post. Then I have to scroll down through everything I've already seen. Just an FYI. It's the same on my Mac and my Win XP machine. It's been that way since before the the server crashed. I think since the last software update.

Ok thanks Alex you are seeming real to me now. Someone named Ken I think fixed my photos and I think he may be real too...

My patient data's disappeared twice since I started visiting again a week ago, and I can't be bothered fixing it again. But aside from that I've been here for a fair few iteratons of this site, and for the most part, they all sucked in parts of it, and was awesome in others. But overall, the information and support I got here was invaluable, so I kept coming back. I learnt more from some of the members here about my band than all the books and all the other sites mixed together.

And Alex, suuuuuureee you're real! ;)

I have the same issue as Cocoabean. I have been complaining about it since I think the upgrade before last but it hasn't been fixed yet. It is really annoying especially when you get the email and click on the link in that and you have to go through from the beginning again.

So Alex if you really are real please fix it.

Hello,

I believe this is fixed. You may not notice it immediately. Once you start a new topic, or reply to a topic - (after this message) you should begin noticing that it's working. Please do confirm either way :-)

Thanks,

Ken

I wish you could skip to more recent pages/comments per individual topics on the mobile website. I know i used to see that option before but now i can't. Makes things very frustrating. :(

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
