Where is everybody??

This message board used to be so full of topics, but not anymore. Where is everyone? How is everyone doing?

Hi Kim,

I decided to pop on here this AM to see if anyone was visiting this forum.    I quit posting here about a week or so ago because NO ONE was on here reading the posts.    I hate to quit but when no one was reading on this forum.....I just couldn't see posting for no one.    I am STILL here and you know that my friend.    I am doing well.   Good to see your beautiful smiling face when I checked out this forum this AM.   Have a blessed day my friend.    Love ya.

 

Hugs and blessings~~~ Vivian

Love you too Vivian!!! Glad that you are posting the quotes where I can still read them. You are truly a friend, and I am glad I am getting to know you. You, too, have a blessed day!!

I was wondering the same thing. I am struggling with gaining weight, and my husband suggested I get back on here. But I hate the LapBand page. I refuse to go back there.

I am stuggling to get back on track, my band works... I've just learned to ignore the rules and eat around the band. I am working on going back to the basics.

LapBand page...well, LapBand is a brand name, as is Realize Band...I just tell people I had Gastric Banding surgery...tomorrow is my 2 year Bandiversary(or Surgiversary lol). I am not ignoring the rules...at least I am trying not to ignore them lol...I wish you much luck. Back to basics is the right thing to do, but sooo hard. Thanks for replying to my post.

Did you get the REALIZE band? That is what I got..there is a message board for Realize Band...but as i said no one goes there much either. But try that one rather than the lapBand page.....worth a try, anyway

I have had the realize band since 2008. Sorry I haven't logged on the site in over a year, don't know what made me think of it today. I have lost about 100 pounds net and yo-yoed some. My largest loss was 130 and I am working hard to get straightened out again. I just got a fill on Friday so I am currently 7.0 ccs I would love to get back under the 200 pound mark before my surgery anniversary in Sept.

Haha, I was wondering the same thing! I used to come to OH every spare second I had when I was newly banded, but dropped away after it got mean and testy over at the LapBand forum. I logged on last night for the first time in ages after seeing the news about Gov Christie...

Anyway, I am doing great. 3.5 years out. No complication to speak of and down almost 1/3 of my initial body weight. Living life and feeling great!
