Chat room technical issue???

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 using the chat rooms 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....

Your office firewall is probably blocking port 51127 and 51128. We're looking into ways of getting around this.

There's no need for anybody to install or upgrade to Java any longer, our new solution only uses Flash on the front end.

Thanks! Please let us know if/when this gets fixed. Thank you so much for all your dedication to this cause! The support is priceless.

I appreciate the work, but the latest version of the chat software really isn't user friendly. There's plenty of features, but little room for the actual text. People using large fonts can quite literally fill the page with single sentence, and that makes it hard to follow conversations.

Just my $.02

I really liked the flashchat version we had a long time back.

Hi all,

At least you can access the chat rooms. I can't even get a room to open. I select chat and nothing comes up.

Anyway, I am recently banded (3 mos) an often I feel this really sore aching pain in my abdomen. It' been really bad the last two days but better today. I take a pain killer and it gets better. It's worse when I stand or rise up from bed suddenly. I had a vomiting espiode a few days ago and thougth maybe I was just sore. It feels like I've been doing sit ups.

Has anyone else ever had this problem?

Agrees that people who CAN access chat are lucky I am jonesing I havent been able to get in the last week. Hold a pillow next to your body when getting up or down that might help.

I havent had that problem.

HA this worked for me maybe it will work for you too. On the home page for LBT log out then hit chat then log in on chat. yea its a long way around but hey it works no more jonesin for me..YAY

Hello,

That chat rooms should now be working properly.

Please let me know if you're still having problems.

I joined because there was a chat room in which I could discuss the lapband with people that had it. Now I had my surgery on Thursday and I have yet to be able to get to the chat room everytime i try it goes to the page showing how many in a chat and says Logging in now but never changes. I was really looking forward to going in to be able to talk with the fellow bandsters let them know I got my band and get support through this time of adjustment with my band.

:thumbup: I have also attempted to go into the chat room with no luck. There has not been anyone in there at all. Is there a secret code to get in???

Please let us know when we can go there and there will be others to chat.

Thanks for the help.

im unable to get in the chat still... :thumbup:

me either, I miss chat!

I still cant get in day #3 this is so discouraging! I hadmy surgery on thursday and was so looking forward to talking with everyone in the chat! lots of questions too!:thumbup:

I never had much luck on the chat either. Find a thread you really like and you will get lots of support from there. Our group was banded in Texarkana, TX. So we have a Texarkana bandsters thread. I started it. Long time ago. We love it because we are all under the same doc, rules, ect. Sometimes we get a little slack about posting (like me). But for the most part we try to keep it active, especially for the newbies like you. Hope you are feeling well. Where did you have your surgery? There our LOTS of threads, find one you like, you will enjoy it. I will help any way I can.

Yes I am feeling very well, no real problems to mention! I had my surgery at Memorial Hospital in Tampa Floirda. I am not one for the message boards, I love the chat.

I am one week out from having lap band and just wondering if there is any advice that I should have before doing the surgery.

Autumn

Autumn, first..congratulations! Next, be sure you have all the things you need for post surgery at your fingertips at home. I don't know what your doctor requires in the line of post surgery items, like plenty of broths, pain meds if you should need them, (liquid). Set heavy things at counter level where you do not have to reach for, nor pick them up. It is good to pre-prepare and possibly freeze items that can be put in the freezer for the rest of your family. Splurge on some quick fix frozen things for them if you don't have time to cook and freeze. Pay bills, clean house, run errands, ect. so in case you don't want to get out much for several days, you don't have to. No pushing, pulling, or lifting. You don't want to upset your port or the band before it can heal and seat in place. Sounds complicated but it's really not. I didn't have one bit of trouble. I did do a LOT of walking and moving around to help relieve any gas build up as soon as I got home, which was within a couple of hours after surgery. Just follow instructions and you will do fine. Good Luck and please let us know how you do. My email is sharonhenley00@yahoo.com if you have any questions.
