Yeah it just happened to me 3 times, I just posted on the thread about getting hacked. Things that make you go HMMMM since I have never been hacked before. Scary...

clovermeg · September 3, 2006

I got it too Bettina...wierd!

Bettina · September 3, 2006

Oh okay, glad to see its not just me.....i am reading this and responding thru my email....its not a real hacker, and I have a real good guess as to who did this!!!!!!

The moderator has to delete the thread..or lock it if they can.....pretty clever of the person who did this.

Brooklynn · September 3, 2006

I didn't see anything unusual....

joliesmom · September 3, 2006

I just noticed under the cosmetic surgery thread the name that pops up on the screen when hacked is listed something Raslan 58

I have not had a problem. It has been going straight to the site. I am not sure what hacked means.

Bettina · September 3, 2006

Okay. So a few people want to know my story about my band experiences.

Alrighty. Let me give you my full biography and experience.

I joined LBT in January after my wife informed me about a great support forum. She entered the pre-op diet on Dec. 21st of 2005 and at the same time I began a life changing diet to counteract my own food demons.

During the period between Dec. 21st and present day I have spent a substantial portion of my free time researching and becoming informed about the Lap-Band and some might state that I am pretty well informed.

I experienced my wife's post surgery experiences and her day to day living experiences. I have always pre-faced my advice with "speaking as an unbanded individual" to ensure that everyone knows who I am, and what I am.

I could easily just give up on the vast majority of this community but I feel I would be giving in to the minority. I have some knowledge about the band, and I have some knowledge of what life is like with the band.

Can I feel the band? Nope. Can I feel what a PB is like? Nope. Do I know what good restriction feels like? Nope. Have I claimed to? Nope.

Lets be clear about a few items.

1. Some people hate my wife for whatever reasons. Some people hate me for whatever reasons. I'm here to support people with the lap-band. If you think I am unqualified to do that, enjoy your opinion.

2 I think everyone in this thread would be best served by moving on. I acknowledge your write to continue the fight and keep this rolling, but to what avail? Are you going to keep the fight going until you (any of you) get banned too?

3. I honestly am surprised at all the posts where you keep posting "shut up". Erm... stop posting "shut up" and it will help it shut up. Yes - I could be seen as doing the same thing but I am addressing specific accusations and insinuations that I have no right to be here.

4. I have stated to the moderators directly "If you feel my presence on this board is negative, I will happily move on". At this time they have not requested that I do so.

If you have a problem with me being here, or if you have a problem with me not having a band, or if you just have a problem that my father inseminated my mother - PM me and we'll sort it out privately.

This ball NEEDS to stop rolling before everyone in this thread ends up with "Account Suspended" under their name.

Regardless, you are the one that keeps it up by continuing to respond and keeping the topic alive! You don't see that? Several of the posts above yours had NOTHING to do with this topic yet you once again brought it up. If you have support then just give it and ignore everything else and don't even visit the controversial threads. How does that help? Don't fall into the same trap some others did.

So you are saying that he has no right to defend himself??? Or respond to posts where he was clearly accused of advising his wife what is going on in her absence?? If you notice he isn't flaming anyone. He has merely made a few simple requests and comments..no harm done. Unless you are a moderator, I don't really see where you have the right to tell him to "ignore everything else and don't even visit the controversial threads".

Now I am being you---if you would scroll back-you'd have noticed that his wife was being mentioned and he was not off topic as you seem to think.

By the way this was all retorical....this is not open for debate. I just wanted to make a point. Not one person on LBT is better than the other. Some just behave better that's all.
