| PART 1 Hi to all our new friends, welcome aboard! This site is designed to help all people interested in Lap banding to come together and discuss all facets of life before and after banding. This board is a free Yahoo board and as such, feel free to post anything that you feel appropriate to the topic, or start your own thread (topic). However, as a bit of simple "housekeeping", you may find the answer you are looking for in an existing thread, or, add your question to the relative thread, and you should hopefully get some speedy responses! This way, the next person who has the same question may save themselves a little time. Please don't be shy, join in & become a part of this great forum full of support, encouragement, advice & information! On all the pages you will see some numbers at the bottom and top of the page, indicating pages of past topics. It's well worth scrolling back, as many of the things you want to know have been addressed before. You will find a huge range of topics such as: * Cost. * Surgeons. * Pre and post op advice * General Advice * Get Togethers * Inspirational stories and many more. Make sure the box in the middle of the screen is set to Date (newest first) and you will be able to see your responses and those that respond to you.

| PART 2: Some frequently used abbreviations you may see on this forum: Bandster/Bandit - A person who has undergone banding. B u m p/Bringing Forward/BTT - This means to bring a thread/topic to the top of the front page. THREAD - A thread is a topic PB - Productive Burp - This is a 'bandster' term that refers to the regurgitation that most bandsters will experience at least once in their bandster lives when we've eaten more or larger pieces than can be passed through the stoma (small entrance to the stomach). Since the food has not been digested, there is no odour, stomach acid, or retching involved but there may be a varying degree of phlegm that accompanies it. PB episodes may last anywhere from 1 minute to two hours, depending on the individual and circumstances. After a PB episode, under most circumstances, it's best to refrain from eating at that meal and let the stoma rest. If it is happening constantly it may be a good idea to try going on fluids for 24 hours to see if the inflammation goes down. If not, you must see your doctor. NSV - Non Scale Victory is a victory that is celebrated by not being weighed e.g. being able to cross your legs, jeans that were too small for you now fit, when flying not having to ask for an extender seatbelt. YAHOO has a glitch in their system that causes threads/topics to disappear when they reach the bottom of page 1 and are being transferred to page 2. They eventually reappear but it's known for them to take a day or two to do so. Therefore it is advisable to save any thread that you would like to frequently use in your bookmarks or favourites. You will sometimes see s p a c e d words. Yahoo is quite touchy, & thinks that some innocent words are profanities! Thank you. |

| A giggly game of Trivial Pursuit and a tall margarita. After nine years of marriage, that is how my husband and I last expressed our love for one another.It is important to say I Love You with both passion and frequency. And we can say it not only with our words but with our actions, with our facial expressions and body language, even with our thoughts. Lasting intimacy comes from an everyday appreciation and a reverence for the daily moments we spend in the company of one another. http://mbalovera.blogspot.com/2009/09/50-ways-to-s ay-i-love-you.html |

| hi, this is my first attempt at joining a forum. I had lap banding 2 years ago and would like to talk to other long time banders about a problem with eating too much. Has my small stomach stretched? Have finished with my surgeon now, but can always go back whenever I am worried. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Hi there. Hope you can help me. I find chat sites a bit confusing. You wrote on the new users forum before me. I've tried to go to the thread they mention but can't seem to get to any current chat place. Did anyone reply to you, if so how do I get there? |

| Hi, I am considering Lap Band S. I've been reading some posts and have found them informative. If people could clarify a few things for me. The band is put on during the op. When do they begin the 'filling' people talk about. Is it hard to keep the access point clean? I had a stapling 20 years ago, so I think I have an idea of what to expect in some ways, just not sure about this topping up bit etc. Any info would be appreciated. |

| Hi Everyone,I'm new. Had Lap Band done 4 years ago and have lost 72 kilo's but put 19 back on cause I have the bad taste for chocolate.Lap band is the best thing I have ever done. |
