Time To Give Up On This Site?

I don't know what's happened but our RNY forum seems to have died since the changeover. Hardly any new content being added these days or replies being made. I'm wondering if many people have just given up. I think I might have to do the same as it's just a shadow of the great site it was before :-(

I'm trying hard to hang in there but you are right...so many aren't here anymore. It seems a lot more empty. I miss it

Me too. Maybe more people will start posting. I really miss the old site.

I glad you two ladies are still here. I am gonna hang on a little longer.

It's up to us to keep it going until folks find their way back.

Exactly people are having problems, Alex is trying to correct the bugs and get it user friendly.

Hang in there!

Well I will def be around so u guys stay around with me :)

I was thinking the same thing today. When I look at new posts it is all for the other groups and hardly any for us.

I would hate to lose the support. I hope Alex gets things fixed quickly.

Well I was finally able to find the new site! Our old one was gone without a warning. I hope we still get all the feedback and advice like our old site. This is my first post I'm glad I found all of you. I was getting worried! Olehippiegal your pick looks good I didn't recognize you! Ass for everybody I missed all of y'all!

I know for me I never got any sort of notice the old App was going down ans this was new my RNY app didnt work for days so I deleted it and went to download it again and this was all I found...then when reading about the app I realized what they did. However! On all the pages I was involved in I can only see a few pages in then it says " Error page does not exisit" so I can't check read or respond to anything. Its super annoying. I get why they did this app together but they need to fix this. :/

I think deleting the app & reinstalling it may help. I had that prob also and now can see last pages. It's frustrating. I want everything to fall back in place and rny area to thrive again

I am still around, and read the post, and agree with all of you. Just don't care for this site as much as the other. Hanging in there though to see how it works. The one thing I don't care for, is once you log in, you can go out to the other sites and see what they are saying, which I really don't care what they say, but I can invision some arguements brewing. Just going to take a wait and see attitude.

Yeah, I stay in the rny threads...less rancorous, for sure

I agree with everyone I miss RNY Talk ,here when I look up current threads I have to make sure they are Bariatric RNY so I stopped doing that and go to the RNY forum to make sure I am with my group! I understand it is all WL journey but if I have questions or concerns with my procedure then I want someone to reply that has had the RNY surgery. As I am sure someone that had VSG or lap band would be thinking why is she telling me how/ what to cope with this concern.

I'm sticking it out! hope it gets better soon

In the Internet world, forums are very near the top in terms of technical complexity. Transitions to new systems are usually painful but most problems can be resolved and I know Alex and his team are working diligently to do just that. It's encouraging to see some of the senior folks starting to appear here and there. I'm here for the long haul and am truly confident that things will be up to speed in the near future. We all know the importance of patience when it comes to the weight loss journey. I remind myself that the support and information provided by so many knowledgeable and caring folks is worth a little patience until they can get the kinks worked out.
