Can someone tell me how to set up a personal looking blog, like with the ticker at the bottom? I am electronically challenged and hope I can put my own little progress ticker under my name! Surgery Feb 3rd, now on the preop diet. Yum....not. :thumbdown:

Hi Peggy, I am not extremely computer literate myself---but there is help out there!

If you will go to the top of the Lap Band Talk page, click on Forum---and it will take you to a page where all the posts are separated into categories.

Go down the the catogory titled

LBT Suggestions, Questions & Updates. Click on that. It will open another page with all the threads that have been started under that topic. At the top of all those threads are ones called Sticky's. Sticky's are helpful information to very frequently ask questions--------including yours!!!

There is a tutorial help for getting a ticker right there about the 4th one down.....click on it, and it will open a page detailing where to go, and how to cut and paste the info over here for you to get your ticker.

Good Luck to you! There is also an area for Frequently ask questions up higher on the forum page that will give you tons of amazing advice and support as you head in to your pre op diet and on to surgery. It is an exciting time, and the more you know going into it the better off you will be!!!

Welcome to LBT!
