Oh, and if I dont' give up, neither can you! In the last 3 weeks, I've gained 15 pounds, on 1200 calories, I gained 15 pounds.

Oh Crystal... remember I was going to send you a couple of blouses I'd ungrown? Ever wonder why I haven't?

Um, because they FIT me again.

:(

Okay, I'll post pics of the garden tomorrow in Paula's gardening site.

Hey guys, I just wanted to say that before I ask about someone's absence on here and declare them an official Missing Member, I check out their profile to see when their "date of last activity" was. Sometimes members log on and do lots of reading, and feel the need to do very little posting (like Whippledaddy). Looking at the last activity date just lets us know that they are still ALIVE! :biggrin1:

its late.

am I making any sense?

I guess I'm just befuddled, (is that a word), I'm so addicted, more than a couple of days and I gotta ramble, yadayadayayda. Although, I think we all get into a mode of just wanting to lurk, my longest spell was almost a week once.

Hugs everyone and glad to see ya posting again...where's Darcy and Becky?

((Im responding to something from another thread here))

When the hurricane damaged our area last fall, we were without internet for about 6 weeks. That was a long enough time away from LBT that this place was absolutely purged from my addiction.

I didnt think I was missed.

And after I sank into a "I thought these people were my friends" depression, I realized...

I come here for - ME.

I need this place - this place doesnt need me.

I need LBT.

I need the support.

I need the prayers that others offer.

I need the laughs.

I need the friendships.

I need the food ideas.

I need the exercising encouragement.

I need the cry's.

I need the reminders of being a good bandster.

I need the love.

I need the debates (helps me see things in a different perspective)

I need everything LBT offers.

Others dont need LBT like this.

But I do.

Hi Paula!

I love your comments here!! Thank you so much for sharing. I think that sometimes when we ask about missing people it's like giving a speech & trying to thank all the people who have helped you. There's no way you can possibly name or remember them all!! But, because they aren't mentioned, doesn't mean they aren't important. ;)

I also come here for the same support that you mentioned. This place has really helped me more then I can explain.

You are a very kind, considerate person & I think threads like this are such a kind gesture on your part. It lets people know they are missed what a great feeling to know that you were missed!

I love ALL your posts & think you are a wonderful person who adds so much to this forum.

Thanks for being YOU!!

I'm with you Dianechef! ;) You never know whose life you're effecting. Both you & Paula touch my life every day. I've never told you that, heh, so you'd never know. :(

I look forward to your posts... I enjoy watching your struggle with your body image (ok, enjoy is the wrong word, but you know what I mean). Ya'll are ahead of me in your weight loss & banding experience, so I like watching what you're going through & hoping that I can deal with it with as much grace as you have!

To try to list everyone who has effected me would be impossible... some only post once or twice, but those posts made me cry, or laugh, or think, or smile, or take courage, or get up & exercise... you never know what effect you're having!

So to everyone out there... thanks for being a part of my LBT family & for making my life a richer, fuller place! I'm a complete addict!

Try one of her recent posts on the Sangria Suarez thread. She listed an e-mail address to contact her.

:wave: Hi Michelle,

Always good to see you. I sure miss your wise words around here. Hows unbanded life going?

Dylansmom just lurks these days - no posting. Big fiasco happened a few months ago regarding deleted threads and she decided to stop posting for a while.

I havent seen DeLarla around in a while either. What about Penni? She's gone too. :confused: I have Penni's private email addy that I can pm you. Im sure she can locate our DeLarla for us.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
