Hi Sadie! Congratulations on your band date!!! I as well am having my band surgery on March 3rd. I am very happy and a bit nervous. This is a great site though for information. My doctor only has me on a clear liquid diet one day prior. I'm amazed at the different pre-op instructions per surgeon. Good luck to you on your surgery. I'll look forward to sharing the post op discoveries, both good and bad!

CONGRATULATIONS to you too CTman and Texgirly!!! I hope we all do fabulous!!!

Hey folks---- how do I do the Ticker thing? In my profile? How do you change the numbers as you go along? Thanks!

Hi Sadie! Just go to TickerFactory.com and click on free weight loss tickers. Follow the steps and once you have your ticker the way you want it you can just copy, use your back button to go back into LBT and paste it into your signature. SAVE before you use your back button though. Once you have it saved you have to enter a PIN number. Sounds to me like you just go in and update the ticker yourself then keep edited your profile. I'm a newbie so maybe that's not the proper way to do things but it worked for me. Good luck! Reply back to this thread if you need assistance. : )
