Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

That lady at the top.



Recommended Posts

About the gal at the top of the page...maybe someone else walked into the room with an American Flag and she just tried to pledge as quickly as possible....

I would love to see before/after pictures!

My next vote is for the cute dog pictures to be there....

And while I am here and feeling silly-- is anyone ELSE addicted to this website? I'm going to start LBTA. (who can I blame for this?)

Chickie, I hope you change your mind! You were one of the first people I saw in the before and afters, when researching, that I was just wowed by your results!

Boo Boo kitty, Jachut, Nurseamy, Jfran, BabyGotBack, babygrl1234, and soooo many more that I am forgetting right now. You guys would be great for this too!

We need some male pictures too! Neveragain, Manatee..............you two guys come to mind, but again, there are sooo many others I'm certain I am forgetting.

That should be LBTAA..I don't know what I would have done without this site. I got such limited info from my dr. and surgeon. Like..."go home and to the pro-op weight loss for six months" whatever. Did it anyway. Only way I learned was from the experience of everyone here. I am so in love with the positive attitudes of some. I get such a kick out of some the the the questions.... just a couple of months ago I was reading and some talked about PB ing. I just about posted to ask what it was....I though to myself "don't be stupid...find a thread about pb ing." Happy I did. Otherwise I would be talked about on the thread "I hate it when people post just to post." Whatever!!!!!!

I've always wondered why anyone would want to measure an apple!

I LOVE the idea of real bandsters.

I'd be glad to take a nice high key white background picture of any bandster that wants to swing by and be photographed. :thumbup:

Or we can cut the background out in Photoshop. That's what I did for the banner on top of my web site:

I also faded the kids down so that my logo (and the name of my company) would be the focus. I think "The Lady at the Top" definitely needs to be faded... She's stronger visually than the LapbandTalk.com logo and LBT.com is much more important than her and her silly apple!

Nah----you will just be one of us answering the question over, and over, and over....and thinking to yourself, that you sure are glad you explain it more than you experience it!!! LOL

Why is it everyone else can see that lady. Am I the only one that has an ad across her so all I can see is the top of her head? Right now all I can see is "New Hope Bariatrics"

Is your screen size small? Is your browser not opened up to full screen? What browser are you using?

I've seen the lady using IE 7.0 and Safari 3.0.

I could think of a lot worse things to see up there.Would you rather see a big hairy pre band person instead?

Actually, provided they did indeed at some point get a band, yes, I would prefer to see a "big hairy pre band person".

I highly doubt "boob grabbing apple girl" has a band at all.

Just when I am feeling a bit down in the dumps about my plateau I read this and it makes me smile. Thank you =)

There really are some unbelievably amazing folks on here who show just what anyone can achieve with a band if they put a little hard work into it. I definietely vote for having some of them decorating the pages instead of frisky apple lady.

lol @ frisky apple lady.

I am not sure I meant to cause SUCH a stir with this thread. But it is nice to know I wasn't the only one.

      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!!

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

      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! 😞
