LapBandTalk CHAT

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....

I've been in the chat room and the etiquette was fine. It was a good place to talk about my upcoming (tomorrow) surgery with some who have already been there and some who haven't.

Well I just tried out the chat. It was fine. First time that has happen for me.

I found that when I went to the lap band chat rooms people were talking about everything but lap bands. I needed to talk about fills, getting the right foods, when to see my doctor, not who was leaving whom, etc.:thumbup:

It's a chat room. Once people start to get to know one another, they chat about whatever is on their collective "mind." Any time I'm there, regardless of what they're talking about, someone has been happy to answer questions and give me the benefit of their experiences. Give it a try!

Doer, you are absolutely correct. Honestly, I've been coming to the chat room for 2+ yrs now and there is only so much talk you can do for hours strictly on the band. We are always happy to change the subject and answer anyones question when they come in, all they have to do is ask! :thumbup:

Sorry, you guys are right. Guess I was just depressed when I wrote this. I have been lately, not sure why.. Guess things are not going like I thought they would with the fills and weight loss.

Forgive me??:thumbup:

thank you soooo much for this site Sesha........it is a lifeline for us bandsters!!

Hi Shesha,

It looks to me like what's showing as chat room participation is actually the roster of who's online at the time and which section of the board they're viewing. I'll try to find out what's going on.

can be that way at times......usually if you say you need help, you will get it.....dont give up!!
