help, I don't know how to use this site.

justhappy · February 21, 2007

I'm not very swift on the computer. I know how to open my email and reply to them but that's the extent of my technical wizardry.

So I've been banded since 3-7-06 and this is my first attempt to "post". It has taken this long to figure out how/ where to type text!

I'm having lots of vomiting and my abdomen is very, very tender and I want to discuss this on this site...... Do I do a "thread" if so how do I create a thread? Is there a difference between posting something and a thread? I need a detailed, ELEMENTARY, explanation to use this site. Can anyone help me out? please?? don't take for granted I know anything... cause, well I don't.

many thanks -

Welcome to LBT--looks like you figured out how to make your first post!!

You can discuss your problem in 2 ways. You can go to the main (home) page, and scan through the Lap Band Complications forums. To do this, just click on the dark printed, underlined words of Lap Band Complications. It will bring up a list of all of the already posted threads of different complications. You can read through and see if anyone is having an already started conversation with similar symptoms, and join in. Or, you can stay there and begin your own thread...to do this, go to the top area where it has a "tab" that says Forum Tools, and when you click it, it will have a place to click to start a new thread. When the page pulls up, you will have to enter a topic/title, and have an area to post, the question, just like you did here.

If you need help, just ask!!! It gets kinda quiet at night, but there will always be someone around to help out!!!

We are glad you are here, and I am sorry you are having problems---hope someone here can shed some light!
