Veterans - not allowed to post

[cynthia4722 74]

I tried to respond to a thread in the veterans forum and it said I do not have enough posts to post in this forum. How can I get around this.

I don't have a clue, I've never had anything like that happen. C'mon, post HERE what you were going to post!!! Are you a veteran? I am asking this, but I'm really not sure what constitutes a veteran!!! LoL Wherever you are in this crazy ride we're on, good luck!

I believe that forum is locked until you reach 100 forum posts. I'm not sure you can get around it, but you could try PM'ing Alex (the forums' creator) to see if he can let you in?

I was trying to respond to the 5:2 diet thread. How do you send a message to Alex? I'm not sure what constitutes a veteran either. I am a year out..

Figured out how to message Alex

Hi, Lifer!

I'm at home now, after being sleeved on Monday. Things are really very good--except for the killer gas pains that seem to tie my sleeve in knots whenever I take even a TINY sip of something. Other than that, I'm resting very comfortably.

I do have a low-grade fever (100.3) but when I called the surgeon's office, the nurse said as long as it stays under 101, not to panic. I'm really looking forward to being able to take small sips without clenching my teeth against the gas pains!

Hi Cynthia--to be considered a veteran you have to have at least 100 forum posts. The more you post, the closer you'll get to the Veteran's Forum being unlocked for you!

I also read that you have to be 6 months post op in addition to the 100 posts.

I have searched everywhere. The VSG Veterans forum says you must be a year out. I assume this feeds from your "surgery information" from your profile which I verified is correct (2years out). But it still says its locked. Is there any other place to look for a solution to this?

Thanks

I believe its 1 year out with 200 or more posts.
