I'm so glad it's back! This is my last day before returning to work and I'm going stir-crazy!

Yup; I can get crazy with out my 'hit' of LBT. I'm back into doing my 'check in'...and it feels good to have it.

Without it; I panic. :help:

yep- me too; I was having major head hunger last night and I use this board as a crutch to talk me off the potential binge that might occur otherwise.

yea for LBT!

HOORAY!!!!

I don't know what I'd do without this board. It has been my lifeline through this journey.

It appears one of the servers at the company that hosts the site crashed over the weekend. I was so worried something had happened and I lost lapbandtalk for good.

I am so happy it is back. My surgery is scheduled for 11/20 and reading posts on here really calms me down. I kept checking it every 15 minutes. I admit that some not very nice words came out of my mouth.

I was so worried that it was gone for good. I'm so glad that it's back. I may not get the chance to come on here everyday, but when I do get the chance and it's not available...I freak out. I'm so glad that it's back...now I can sigh a sigh of relief.:clap2:

Dang, I never realize how addicted I am to this site until it's UNAVAILABLE!!! I've been going through withdrawals!

And there doesn't seem to be another board out there like this one! Not one that is as active and devoted to lap band surgery, at least not that I could find. Being somewhat housebound after having my surgery on Thursday, I really wanted to get on this site!!!

Dang, I never realize how addicted I am to this site until it's UNAVAILABLE!!! I've been going through withdrawals!

Same here! I've been trying to get on since last night and I've been checking it about every 30 minutes. Glad to be back!

:clap2:

We are officially LBT addicts...LOL

I really missed my nightly and morning fix too.

I still take the cake here. I went so far as to track down the company that hosts the site this morning and called them just to make sure there really was "just" a technical difficulty and that someone was working on it. I apologized right and left for calling them telling them I knew it wasn't really my place to call, but they were very friendly and said they knew there was a problem and would have it back up shortly.

I just couldn't stand not knowing if Lapbandtalk was permanently MIA due to funding problems or who knows what reason as opposed to just some computer glitch which thankfully is what it was. If it had been down for the count I was already trying to work out ways to start a drive to bring it back. I think (strike that I KNOW!!!) I'd even be willing to pay a membership fee to keep this site going if it ever came to that. I am ever gratefull to the person/people that started this site and those that help to monitor and keep it going.

I thought it was my problem on this end. I guess I'm addicted as well.

Wow! Me too. I was trying every 15 min. or so, thought it was a problem with my computer. I am a lap band talk junkie I guess!

LOL, I just kept thinking about that old Cinderella ballad, "You don't know what you got 'till it's gone"....

HA!

I know! It was down for 2 days and I had to go to obesity help. It's ok but seems more geared toward RNY.

I am so glad I am not the only one who feels great comfort from LBT. I was accusing my husband that he had done something to the computer. I am glad it is back up.
