How Do I Delete / Close Account



Recommended Posts

Can someone please provide directions on how to close / delete my account and remove my information from this site? I searched through help and the forums but didn't find anything relevant.

I just read this in the forum rules :

We do not remove member forum accounts on request. You are welcome to stop visiting the VerticalSleeveTalk community if you no longer wish to contribute or participate in discussions. If you have privacy concerns, we provide our members with the ability to change or update their display names. Members also have the ability to update or modify any information made available in their public profile.

With rare exception, once messages are submitted to the forum and replied to, we do not remove them. Removing messages completely would be a disservice to our community as a whole; especially to those who offered a response to you.

"Removing messages completely would be a disservice to our community as a whole; especially to those who offered a response to you." Clearly, allowing us to leave would be a disservice to your advertisers. I wish there were a fine for virtual kidnapping.

Why don't you guys just change your notification settings -- to stop any emails you receive about new posts, etc.

And if you don't want your picture here or your name here, you can change those (using no avatar at all).

If you don't want your prior posts showing, you can take the trouble to go into posts you now wish you'd not made and edit those by putting in only periods.

Those are some work-arounds to meet whatever your new needs are.

And if you don't like these suggestions, don't yell at me ... I'm just trying to be helpful. ;)

Well, another option would be to do something to get you kicked off lol. That would solve it .

All kidding aside, I agree there should be an option to delete account.

I am trying to figure it out too. I was on board until I realized there is no way I can figure to edit or delete the posts I have made. This is clearly not right.

"Virtual kidnapping"? You mean you didn't sign up of your own free will? You were seized in the middle of the night and forced to sign up for BariatricPal against your will?

... Or do you mean you didn't read the terms & conditions and now, you're upset by the very rules you didn't read?

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

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. 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! 😞
