There was another thread where someone said they can never find anyone in the chat room.

We chat in the evenings. It depends on your time zone. I try to check in early for those on the east cost.

Last night we were chatting til past 1 am pacific time and the person I was chatting with was a couple hours ahead of me.

Keep checking! You have to open a separate window and minimize it. Then what I do is read posts or email etc, and I wait for the doorbell that will ring and I will know someone came in.

You can always private message someone too and ask them to meet you in the chat room at a certain time. I have done that before too.

Chatting is a lot of fun and also a great way to get questions answered.

It's right under where it says vertical sleeve talk across the top.

Thanks. I found it. It was under blog then it shows other options.

Is this chat still on?

The chat room is pretty cool. I was in there the other night and at that time was only a few days post - op. They were talking about food, and at that point I didn't care if I ever ate another thing again. Talk of oysters and Sushi were making me sick, I had to leave... There seems to be a small crowd of "regulars" and others check in from time to time. It's great for me since I'm home alone recuperating... it's like having company.

It has moved to the bottom right hand corner of my screen.

I don't like it since they moved over to this new system. The chat program is completely different.

Hello

How do I get to the chat room?

I don't see anything on the right bottom that says chat.

It's up above . You have to click on community.

I don't think people can find it. You can put up a post asking if anyone wants to chat. You can minimize this window and open another window and do other things. Then you can see if anyone comes in.

Can someone help me out, my sister is getting the sleeve done. but everytime she drinks a protein shake her body feels really heavy, her chest gets tight and she fees weak all over... we really need help her.. thank you

I can't imagine what would cause this if she hasn't been sleeved yet.

If she has already had her surgery, she should talk to her surgeon. It sounds like dumping syndrome, but I can't imagine a Protein shake causing it.

I had weight loss surgery in Sept 2011 and I had lost 100 pounds. I got pregnant and of course they put me on the gestational diabetes diet because I couldn't take the test. Then when I tried to breastfeed I followed their advice and ate how I was supposed to. Now I have gained back 50 pounds and I feel like I am hungry all day. I am at a loss and don't know what to do. I don't have insurance but can your stomach stretch out like before? I also should mention that after having my daughter I also had to have a massive knee surgery and I had to have a major lipoma in my back removed because of the pain it was causing. I am just now starting to work out again 5-6 days a week. Any advice, stories, anything are helpful!

Is it only on computer or can it be accessed on Mobil?

I will message Alex and find out if we still have a chat room available. They redid the format around here, and everything was different. I don't see a button for a chat room anymore.

Everytime I peek, there is no one there. Now, I am used to talking to myself, but don't want to bore myself on a public forum....

I messaged Alex and he said they took the chat program out because it was costing a lot to maintain on their server, and he could not justify spending the money because it was hardly being used.

I wrote back and told him if he ever decides to bring it back , to please but the button where we click clearly visible, and the reason it wasn't being used, was because nobody was using it.

If people want to live chat, message Alex and tell him you want it back. I think if he saw people really wanted it, he would bring it back.
