Hey y'all. Just trying to get something started for the New Orleans metro sleevers. I'm hoping that we can use this group as a great tool of support and learning.

I joined! I only use the phone app so now I gotta go see how to reply on it. I'm feeling kinda dumb right about now!

Hopefully the group can still be of use to you on the app.

Hi my name is Ebony and I live in Gentilly. I am on Day 4 of my 2 week preop diet. MGM if you find out how to follow the group on the iPhone app please let me know.

So far the phone app doesn't seem to have a place for groups.

Well is there any way to post to threads I'm following from the app? The app sent me a notification of your reply but when I went to open the thread it says you do not have permission to view this topic. It does that for all the threads I'm following. So I get the alert from the app then I have to use Safari to reply.

Yeah it did the same thing to me. It's annoying. I wonder if they are aware of this issue.

Do you have the VST app downloaded to your phone? I can go find things that way. All I use is my phone. My computer is out of commission right now. When you click on that link on the email it's just to see the posts.

Yes I have the app on my iPhone and iPad. When it sends me the notification I click on the subscribed tab and I can read the last post but when I try to open the thread it says I don't have permission to view this topic so I can't post any replys unless I use safari and go to the website. How do you reply using the app?

I click the VST app then look for the thread under current

Greetings everyone,

I am currently residing in Baton Rouge, but I go walking and now bicycling in New Orleans every Saturday. I was just sleeved on May 11, 2012 in Mexico. The experience was great and life changing. I hope that I can make some friends here and exchange some experiences and such.

Welcome to the group Slim! And congrats on your surgery. Where do you do your biking in NOLA?

I would really like to get a monthly support group going, I just am at a loss for a place to meet. If anyone has any ideas that would be awesome.

I'm also interested in biking. I live in Gentilly so I was thinking maybe city park since there's some shade there, it won't be overly hot. Nice to meet you too. My name is Ebony and I was sleeved on Tuesday May 22nd.

I don't have a bike yet, but once I do I would be up for some riding in city park. It's only about a mile from my house.

I was going to try to make a meet-up group for us, but come to find out they charge. And I really am not in a place to spend extra money right now. This makes me sad.

That's ridiculous (the charge). Hope to meet people in person once I'm sleeved. I need to check into west Jeff's support group.
