Exciting new changes are coming to VerticalSleeveTalk



Recommended Posts

Dear Member,

Exciting new changes are coming to VerticalSleeveTalk.com! In a few days, VerticalSleeveTalk.com and the other Weight Loss Surgery Boards (WLSBoards) will join together and transition to BariatricPal.com! We’re excited to be leading the movement to support weight loss and health for all members of the weight loss surgery community!

WLSBoards is celebrating its 10-year anniversary, and we are planning to make the next ten years even better. That’s why we’re combining the WLSBoards into a single, more powerful force. Each of us may choose different types of weight loss surgery as our own tools for weight loss, but ultimately, we all have the common goal of fighting obesity. BariatricPal.com will be better able to serve the weight loss surgery community by advocating for our rights as a unified voice.

BariatricPal.com has the same great discussion forums as VerticalSleeveTalk.com and all of the other social media options, such as blogs, private messages and photo galleries, which you know and love from VerticalSleeveTalk.com. In addition to the Gastric Sleeve forums that you’re used to, BariatricPal.com will have new forums for all of the weight loss surgeries. You’ll also love our all-new weight loss surgery resource section with information on choosing a weight loss surgery, the weight loss surgery diets, choosing a surgeon and so much more!

Successful weight loss surgery is a big effort, and BariatricPal.com is designed to support your new healthy lifestyle. The community and information are always available on the site and using our new BariatricPal.com mobile apps. BariatricPal.com will let you track your diet and exercise to keep your weight loss and nutrition on track. Other ways to join the movement are to meet your BariatricPal.com friends in person, and to track your goals.

The launch of BariatricPal.com is hassle-free for you. Your VerticalSleeveTalk.com account and profile will automatically be transferred to BariatricPal.com.

We’re very excited about leading the charge against obesity, and we hope you are, too! Stay tuned for more information about the changeover to BariatricPal.com! At the world’s largest weight loss surgery hangout, it’s cool to be a loser!

The site will be going down later this eve for a few hours while we complete the upgrade. See you on the other side....

Hi, I'm I'm on the other side and I have to tell you it's causing a lot of problems!!! I have lost most of my past conversations with people and threads that I have subscribed to do not let me open the next page, it just gives me an error message! This is a bummer as I really enjoyed the site the way it was before. Now it seems to be more work then it's worth!

The forum isn't working for me. Every time I go to look at the most recent post, it says the page doesn't exist... This kinda stinks...

That issue should be resolved now.

Are you still having issues ? Please try to be a little more specific.

Much better performance on the iPad app. Only thing I am seeing is when I tap on a thread in the iPad app, it shows me on the last page of the thread, when I am really on the first page. For instance, this thread currently has two pages. When I tap on it, it clearly is showing me the first post of the thread (and at the bottom the radio button says 'previous page' but it says that I am on the second page. I have to tap on the 1 at the top (or tap previous page) it reloads the same page I was on, and then I can tap the 2 and it will bring me to the second page.

Other than that' much better performance! (Can you tell I am a tester?). Lol

Another thing I am seeing on the iPad app is that after I reply to a thread that I am subscribed to, I lose that subscription (without unsubscribing). I then lose notifications that new posts have been submitted, and have to go back and resubscribe to the thread...(happened after me last post on this thread as well.)

Hi Alex...I tried to submit an issue through the link at the top of the page, but I don't know if it worked, since I didn't get any confirmation message.

When I am signed in, and am in my profile, when I go in and try to add someone as a friend who has added me, I am consistently getting an error message indicating that I do not have permission to do that. I have validated that I am logged in, and have been posting on forums and such, but can't seem to get friends added. I don't want people to think I am not interested in being their friend! :) Any suggestions?

It is probably on your list already, but our "private" group has non members posting on it now, they could always read it, but posting was not allowed... is there something we can do about that? Thanks Alex, Kim

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
