It's Oh So Quiet ...



Recommended Posts

Is it just me or has the forum been deathly quiet since the changeover? I had to wait a while before it would let me sign in so I wonder if lots of other people are having technical problems too. :-/

No it does totally seem quiet. I see tons of stuff by the sleeve folks but us rny folks are kinda laying quiet it seems. I'm going through serious withdrawals! Hate missing out on everything and everyone. Amazing how attached I feel to all my rny folks :)

It's sooooo lonely!!!! I can't find the threads I usually read. I get frustrated reading peoples rude comments about the changes (yes it sucks but seriously, they're not murdering people...) and there's so much not pertinent stuff to weed through...just frustrating. We'll get our groove back :)

I thought there were no other gastric bypass people on here....I keep seeing sleeve and band. I am so glad I saw you all here, people I recognize that had bypass.

When I click on 'New Content' on the right - it's almost all from the 'bands' forum. I just looked again and the whole page was bands and one new topic from the 'men's room' forum ... weird.

On the website (not app) - go to your profile and choose Gastric Bypass from the drop-down menu to change the defaults (mine was showing the lapband forums until I did this), so you'll see more of the Bypass forums.

It defaulted a lot of us to band so we're getting just the band threads, but yup, do as they said above and it'll change.

Hi everyone, just found this thread, not a fan of this new site/app can't find so many threads and can't open a lot of those I can find. Tried to amend settings on the web as suggested but couldn't see what to do. Had surgery last Weds and starting to feel a bit better today. Been in quite a bit of pain, gas mainly I think as it's all around my lower chest, sholders and ribs, been a bit weepy and very tired but haven't cried today so very pleased :-) have really missed not catching up with all your news because of the change with this forum, I sooooo hope it improves soon.

No question is stupid. Look in the patient data part of your profile. Hopefully this picture is worth a thousand words (and no more headaches):

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
