Several of us were just talking about a clothes exchange. We think this would be a very beneficial section. Hope you get that idea going! Thanks!!

how about a search option, so If I have a question that has already been asked I could look it up?

This already exists, Vegas. Look along the top of the screen and you'll see a link that says Search. Click that, put a word or two into the box, and clilck Go. The threads that come up will have the words you searched for in them.

A Newbie area would be great. From that organized by pre-op, post op, aches/pains, dos/don'ts. It could be not a place to "discuss", but one place to find all of the common information. For instance, there is a good post op supply list, foods to stock, etc. If that were there then people could post lists to commonly asked questions and not take up space on the discussion boards. There is such good information here.

How about a recipe section. I know there was some talk of a Lap Band Cookbook, but an area where people can share great low-fat low-calorie Lap Band friendly receipts would be great.

If you guys were willing to expand the forums offered, giving some of the stickied threads their own forums would be nice - e.g. "Turtles", "BI over 50", etc. A sticky is nice, because it gives us something to go back to, but sometimes it's hard to keep up with the 12 different conversations that are going on, and people's questions will be easily lost.

Make the "Search" feature more efficient. For example, the results should show posts of searched item instead of a thread where you have to swim through pages of info that doesn't pertain to your search. I just don't get the expected results when using the search button. It's easier to create a new thread in some cases.

Thanks!!

      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!!
