Well Im not going to lie I'm new to FB.....I created an account then a private group so that only us in the group can post and view.....are u talking about something different? I can research it and then let u all know

That is ok, i think you just created a new account and we can add you as friend.

We can also create a group, where people can join in and will serve for help and support and everyone that joins the group will be able to see all posts and reply or whatnot, since if you have your own account and add friends, it's not easy for all the other people to interact together.

If you want i can create a closed group if everyone wants too

Yes! I'd love if you'd do that! I have only told my friends & family about my surgery & do not want everyone I went to elementary school with to be able to follow the intimate details of my journey lol!! Again, I'm 1/28/12 but hope that you guys will let me in ;)

Ok so how are we doing this group?? Lotus4me I found on FB I'm thinking of creating a separate FB acct with my screen name here it's easy enough to do is that how everyone else thinks we should do it?

I'm thinking, we could create a private group, this means, no one can search for the group, only if people send link to other people, and no one can see your post other then members of the group. The topics, pictures, likes or whatever will NOT show up on anyone's timeline as it's like a "Closed Private" group.

There's not really a need to create a "New" or "Separate" Facebook acct for this, as we can all chat there, but depending on your own facebook security and settings, no one from the group can see your profile, unless people have their profile set up that anyone can see their profile.

This will just help as we can all go and support and help each other there, and chat, as most of us are prob more often on Facebook anyways!! LOL

I am thinking we could create a group for Jan & Feb & Mar 2012 Sleevers, this ways we are all somewhat close enough to discuss our journeys together

Yes, Lotus created a new username, but hasn't created a "Group" yet, don't think. There is a difference between an account and a group.

Here's the difference for people that aren't familiar:

Personal Account: Personal Account enables you to maintain a Personal Profile, interact with friends, create and/or join groups, create a Fan Page for your business, become a fan of (or Like) other fan pages AND purchase advertising. It also allows you to make changes to a Business Account Fan Page IF you are an administrator of the page.

Beware: Facebook technically only allows you to have one account, either a Business Account or a Personal Account. If you create a personal account, it is supposed to be in your real name(first and last names)

Facebook Group: (Only for personal account)

A group is ideal for a group of people who want to maintain a discussion. Until recently, you could invite a friend to join a group, and they would have to decide whether to accept the invitation. If a group was created recently, the new rule is that current group members can add their friends to a group. The friend can leave the group, but until they do, they’re a member.

Advantages of groups include:

  • Wall posts: Messages, links, photos and videos that a group administrator posts to the group wall will show up in group members’ news feeds. Group members can comment on these, or post their own content.
  • Privacy: A group can be open, closed, or secret. The members and content of an open group are public. In a closed group, the list of members is public, but the content is private. In a secret group, the members and content are private, and the group doesn’t appear in search results for non-members. A study group might choose to be private, whereas an alumni group might choose to be open.
  • Shared documents: You can share documents with a group, and allow other group members to edit them. A book club group might include a list of all the past books they’ve read, or a study group might include a group project.
  • Group chat: You can limit a chat session to include only group members.
  • Group email address: Members of the group can send an email to all the other members via a single email address.
  • Events: Like pages, a group administrator can create a related event.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery

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! 😞
