Surgery Date Ticker Issue



Recommended Posts

They not only removed the ticker, but also, my pre-op checklist I had in the sig. :angry: :angry: :angry:

This is a bit upsetting to me. The ticker documented my weight loss from my date of surgery. Surely there is a way to get back to document it? Very inconsiderate for you to remove this without notice.

Also, the slowness of the load time probably has a whole lot more to do with the massive amount graphic heavy advertisements plastered all of the boards. NINE + on this page alone.

Not letting us use the problematic tickers rather than removing them all would have been nice. (I moderated a forum like this one and there were certain tickers that causes issues, it wasn't all of them.) I used My Fitness Pal's ticker because I already track there and it's updated and accurate. Now, I'll have to login to this site via a computer (I'm almost always using the app) to update which means it will get update much less frequently.

Totally agree about the ads causing slow loading too. I know this is your site and you can do whatever you please, but hopefully user feedback is important.

Mine was removed and when I created one on this site, I said I had reached goal today. I reached goal over a year ago and there's no way to edit that part of the ticker.

Someone did not think the programming through very well.

Where is the selection of tickers to choose from? The email I got has a link, but it basically goes to a page with nothing on it.

If you click on your username in the top right corner, a box should come up with a link for My Tickers (at the end of the left column).

I received an email today telling me they deleted my ticker. So, I picked one from this sight today. Honestly, I liked my old one better. :(

I spent a long time selecting my personal ticker, and it had significant meaning to me. I am disappointed in the paltry number of choices for the VST site's tickers, and I hope you will be adding more options.

My original ticker was a roller coaster with a banana ticker, which meant a lot since one of the reasons I decided on WLS was because of problems I had fitting on a roller coaster as well as my past history with weight loss attempts mirrored a roller coaster. And the banana? Our sleeves are banana-shaped.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
