I don't care for it. But then, I don't care for much because I'm a grumpy-bum. I accidentally walked into a band thread yesterday, because I clicked on 'recent posts'. All I could think when I read it through was 'what in the holy-blue-feck, is this?!' All I can say is us Sleevers are a cordial lot... Disagreements or not.... Glad I didn't get banded! :blink:

I've seen all sorts of crazy people on VST. We've got every personality malfunction you can think of.

I've seen one crazy lapbander that really tops us all, but other than that they don't seem anymore messed up than we do.

That being said, it's not that hard to stay away from the other forums.

Argh! I completely understand everyones frustration. We have been going through issue by issue and knocking them out one by one - there are MANY! The site has only been online for 6 days now. A little patience would be greatly appreciated. We should have the groups issue fixed by this eve. All I'm asking for is a little time and patience from everyone. By the end of the month I guarantee every single issue or bug will be resolved. We also plan on offering a feature which will allow you to segregate yourself from the other procedures. This won't take a day or two to release but should definitely be in place by the end of this month. I can't force anyone to stay but I'd greatly appreciate if everyone would be as patient with me as I have been with you over the last 10 1/2 years.

Cheri! Not chopped liver... You are a fine pâté to be enjoyed along with a good friend and a bottle of wine... Hey? did I just describe a Ménage à trois?

:P

I'm pouty today...

I'm going to go to the store and buy a Bracelet making kit my son wants. And no he's not gay!

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

But my lesbian daughter hates kids so he's my only shot at grand babies :D

It might cheer me up to spend money.

Oh and sorry fluff you weren't interrupting.

This might just be out meeting place for a while.

Nice to see your grumpy puss here too revs!!

And butter I'm not a cougar I'm a chicken hawk.

Ask my much younger husband what the difference is...

I'm gonna jump in and say thanks Butter for saying we are ALL messed up. Im glad you noticed! The only thing that makes us different was our choice of surgery but I think we all have the same issues. I am curious though who you think the one LapBander is that's crazy as hell???? Are you sure it's just one?!?!?

Alex, I really want to "like" your post, but I think it must be disabled in this forum?

A big for profit site ? I ran these sites at a **HUGE** loss over the last decade. The WLS sites were my passion and hobby and I truly didn't mind. Check my profile out on <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.linkedin.com/in/abrecher'>LinkedIn</a> if you'd like to know more about my background. I've exited the other businesses I was involved in and I'm planning to work full time on BariatricPal. Would I like to at least cover my expenses and possibly make some sort of profit ? Absolutely!!! Was the purpose of combining the sites to make a big for profit site ? Absolutely not!!! If you gotta go, go. You'll be missed by many, not just me. Why you can't have a little patience is beyond my comprehension.

Um....get back to work and quit antagonizing your biggest advocate. Laura has defended you more times than you know. She's stressed. You're stressed. We're all stressed. But let's not burn all the bridges this week.

Change of topic because I need to share happy and since no one can see the compliments thread (or most any other threads if it comes to it), I am posting it here because I love you guys.

My client told me I look like a coke bottle :)

This is such a cultural reference that I wasn't sure I got it. I had to come back and ask my team if that was a good thing or not. Twenty-seven years in this country and there are still certain things...

but anyway...apparently it's a good thing, and apparently I look like one. yay me!

It's a good thing. My immediate visual was ......think "Jessica Rabbit". :)

That's the one I stumbled across in my attempts at navigating layout-newness... I was afraid... Very afraid....

Hahahahahaha .. I love how Alex asked "can't we all just get along?" I find that hilarious after 10+ years of dealing with us.

Hehe .. Come on Alex.. You're not really serious are you? ;)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
