I believe that if we need support for this surgery we should not have to pay for it. By paying to use this site will open up the flood gates for other free sites to start charging people too. If you start doing this now it will set a dangerous precedent for other sites to start charging their users for a service that is only beneficial for them. I know people dont like complainers but i feel that my voice needs to be heard.

I agree with you, LJ. The support we have each found here is important and a key factor in the way we adjust to the surgery. Like you, I hope all the great features of this site remain free of charge to all of us.

Maybe you misunderstood. My impression was if you don't pay you get the same site as it is now and if you want to pay to be a premium member you won't be exposed to all the annoying ads.

Let's not jump on the bandwagon until its explained to us.. Or in other words.. Let's not stir up $ H I T where there ain't any.

I hope it is that way but they should explain ideas and see how people respond before doing IMO.

If you're asking me.. I can't. Nothing has been said to explain anything. A few words were said and everyone took it in different directions. Jeeze Louise.. Y'all calm the hell down and let Alex bring it all to light when he's ready. It's his site and he can do as he dang well pleases. Granted, it would behoove him to listen to our comments/suggestion/opinion regarding the changes, but he doesn't have to. I say, he'll listen to us a lot more if we are a lot less aggressive and hear him out.

Hey now! No reason to bring LOGIC into this...

Alex NEVER said anything about charging to use the site. He said "premium memberships" are soon to come. Typically premium memberships are not much more than ad free viewing and maybe a few extra smilies. He is finding ways to give people the ad free viewing they want and at the same time continue to generate the revenue needed to maintain the servers this forum rides on and pay for all the bandwidth we all consume. And really for all he has provided would it be so bad for there to be a few dollars left for him to enjoy?

I hope that is true OTR but to me and a lot of other people on here it seems like premium = paying. Since it has not been clarified that is the way it comes across.

      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.

        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!
