Sorry amourette, I'm not quite understand what you're saying. But I see two completely different issues. Let's see if we can clarify, because you seem quite upset.

no one has answered me in the last 60 mins................what is that about, you say there is a chatroom but no-one is there, what is that about
There is a chatroom. If no one is choosing to use it - what is that about? It's not really about anything, other than people not chatting. Sometimes there are chats, and very often there are not. Many times I've used it to talk to some people when we've scheduled to meet there, and no one else appears the entire time we're chatting. Actually only once in the year or so that I've been using this board has anyone been there other than the group that has planned to meet. I think it's hit or miss as to whether or not you find anyone. Is that what you're asking?
but the sites aren't here when we do
What sites aren't here? LBT is the only site that should be here. If you're trying to access other sites, you'll need to use a separate URL.

What I was trying to say is there were 18 people in there at the time, just seems sad, people should check out if they are side-tracked somewhere else online, sorry was just having a grumble, I am over it now, hehehe!!!:cry

I have had the same thing. One night, it said that there were 32 people in the LBT lounge, when I went to chat, no one was there. It happened again last night.

Right now... it says there are 70 people in the chat room and it has my screen name listed as one of them, only I am not logged into the chat room.

I think there may be a technical issue or something....

      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!
