Alex B., thank you so much for creating this wonderful website in 07/2003! I have gotten so much encouragement, advice, support, and friendship from here. You are a very wise and insightful person, (in spite of being a "youngster":D )

I would love to know what your "Bandster story" is and the story behind this forum's creation. (It's so user friendly compared to others.)

Also, thank you for helping me w/changing my original screen name from 4x4x4 to New Hope. I guess that sums up pretty much how I did feel (before banding) and how I feel today! Again, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Thank You!

Life as a lap-bander would'nt be as comfortable without board! I'd like to express a very deep thanks to Alexandra! LapBandTalk rules

Oops, Vera, Alexander is a moderator. But Alex B. (male) is the board creator and owner. (I used to think they were the same "Alex")

Yeah, one day, on another board, he just wrote something like, "Oh? You want a LapBand board? I can do that." And he did.

It is confusing, I know, but I'm not the Alex who founded this board. I saw that posting Sue mentions and just followed him over here to what I think is a MUCH better user interface than anything else currently used for bandster groups. Including that of the new Spotlight, which I hate more than the old one!

I'm a girl, and he's a boy. That's one sure way to tell us apart.

For some of us. One day, when our daughter was just a couple of months old, I was at a mom-baby-thing and was changing her diaper on her blanket, on the floor. The housekeeper of the woman who was hosting the event came over, looked at my NAKED baby and said, "How lovely. Is your baby a boy or a girl?" I stared for a moment at my naked child and said, "Looks like a girl to me!"

She was naked. Nude. Sunny side up. I mean...???

Yep, Alex sent me a personal letter the day I joined this forum and I read a post from him a couple of months ago but that's the last I've heard of him.

Alexandra doesn't miss a thing and she's a very talented writer.

Thanks again!

Hey How's Alexis?
