What is going on with this app? I am getting multiple notifications at once for VST at the same time. For example, if I am subscribed to a particular thread, I will get 7 notifications at once that one person posted to it. Please fix this. It is so annoying I want to delete the silly thing altogether. Thanks for you help.

If you unsubscribe to the thread (and if you want to follow it), click on the curvy arrow top right and select "subscribe to thread", you then get asked if you want to receive the notifications. You can opt to receive none.

Correct, that does work, doneky. But not for everything. I keep getting alerts on my iphone. And old alerts along w repeating ones. For example, I keep getting an alert that I have a PM, when that PM was from a few days ago. There's def a glitch in the system that is affecting some of us. I figure that they'll straighten it out soon.

I turned them off on my iPhone. You can do it. It may not be in the place that you usually find that type of thing as I recall. I'm heading to work in a minute so can't check right now. It was so irritating it was driving me nuts.

Me too!!! Something is wrong with this app. I got so many notifications the other day at one time that it sounded like I had 5 texts come through at the same time. My friend said " what is wrong with your phone?" It's also running down my battery. Please fix or I'll have to delete it.

We shouldn't have to turn off notifications if it would send the correct amounts of notifications. It has been working correctly up until this point which makes me believe it isn't an Apple issue because there have been no Apple updates for my phone. I believe it is a VST issue, however, I could be wrong. Alex, could you please look into this. I use my iPhone and iPad to view and post to VST. I do not use my laptop often, although I did to start this thread. Thanks for your help in advance.

We're having major issues with our notification server. In the interim, you can shut off app notifications in your settings.

Hey Alex,

That happens and its understandable.

Can you explain where it it in Settings? Can I turn them off from my iPhone? I can't find anything under Settings about notifications unless you mean unsubscribing from threads?

Thanks!

Judy

My apologies! I wasn't very clear on how to accomplish this.....

On your iPhone or iPad....

1) Go to Settings

2) Click on Notifications

3) Scroll down to VST app and click on it

4) You can turn off all notifications, sounds and messages here

Let me know if that works please.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
