I note many on here have a myspace page. I was wondering if I was the lone holdout?

No myspace page here either. Most of my kids have one though (age 14-24). I just don't feel the need for one. Seems a little adolescent to me. Probably just because my kids have one. But that's just my opinion. I'm not putting it down, I just don't feel the need to have one.

Nope, me neither. I spend too much time on here as it is.

I hate mobile phones too, lol, thats how old and crusty I am. My kids arent allowed to have one yet at 11 and 13, I just dont see why a school kid needs a phone. Mine is an old brick from about 2002, I have a prepaid plan and I used the phone only for the odd occasion. I have a phone on the wall in the kitchen, I use that!

I have a myspace, I originally got it to keep an eye on my kids. Then I started getting to know a ton of lapband people on it. Now, I tend to spend more time on Facebook. I like it better and have connected with a lot of people I had been out of contact with for years.

I voted no but almost voted, what is it! LOL! I HAVE heard of it BUT really have no idea about it!

Seems just a little too public for me but that's also probably how little I know about it.

Michelle, on MySpace you have the option of setting your profile to private so only those people you accept as your friends can see it. Or, you can leave it as public and anyone can see it.

On Facebook, your profile is always private except for your friends, and even then, you can choose exactly what information you want available for them to see.

I have one.....have had it since 06, I use it to keep in touch with old friends.....

But Im always trying to find other LapBanders on there, I always seem to pull ppl up that havent been on line in a year or something so I dont even bother requesting them.

With that said, if you have a myspace and want to add me, Id be more then happy to accept....

I need all the support I can get, Plus I love getting tips from other banders.....

I must admit that I thought about getting one only to keep an eye on the 14 year old but decided against it and assigned my two older kids to keep an eye and ear out. I'm glad I have them otherwise I would have to get one. Gotta stay on top of those kids.

Oh. That makes a lot of sense. Good to know! Guess I should be paying attention to these things more since I have a 2 1/2yr old that'll be on these things before I know it (or am ready for it)!

Thanks, Susan!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
