Chat Rooms, Anyone Use It?

Hello Bandsters!

I've been to the chat room on many occasions and have found nobody there, or at least nobody talking anyway. I go all throught out the day into the night EST.

Are there people who use the chat rooms at specific times to gather that I can infiltrate? :ph34r:... :D I promise to be on my best behaviour!

I just joined yesterday and I was chatting, I think some people come in looking for the certain people

I keep checking too.

I'm glad you posted this, I was actually wondering if anyone wanted to start a regular meeting or something, for example, Sunday's would be best for me, but time of day would have to depend on who would be joining, I'm on EST time in Kentucky. I was just banded 09JUL2012, my surgeon's office only has monthly meetings, and I only know 1 person that has had lapband, which I can drill for questions and believe me I have, but it is still good to get different opinions and a good support group. This website is awesome and has drastically helped me, but live communication is good too. Let me know if there is interest and we can set this up, or even start a new post to get more people.

I just logged in to the chat room and there were 5 members online.

I see people all the time, but nobody says anything!

I'm in Western NY, EST. Nights after 9:00PM are best for me. I don't know if I have anything useful or interesting to say, but I'd try.

Any other takers?

I think the system shows anyone who is logged into lapbandtalk not necessarily chat. I did go into chat just now and saw 3 other people but noone was chatting. I think the idea of having a time to meet is great. Evenings are good for me too.

So it looks like we have some interest and I see that there are several rooms if we wanted to choose one of those to use, how about "WLS after dark" or whichever one. To accommodate pkb, I could do Sunday nights at 9pm EST, is that good for everyone else?

i just pop in and out all over the place. i was banned 5/30/12 having a few adjustment issues but i will get there. saw a picture of myself a week before surgery and then one from the last week of July and all i could do is smile.....

9:00 PM, EST Sounds good to me, but I'd only be able to chat for up to an hour.
