Veteran forum, for vets a year out?

This forum is dedicated to veteran Sleevers who are one year or more post-op to discuss issues specific to those who are further along in their journey.

Please note: You must be one year out to post or create topics here.

Am I correct that with forum is now for vets only, meaning those a year or more out? So in order to post/comment or create a topic here you are supposed to be a year or more out?

Folks....I don't think we need a sticky because very soon there will be software controls limiting member's posting ability in the vets forum. Only those who meet the criteria will be able to post, the site will block all others from posting. They will be able to read only.

The criteria will be 1 year post op and 200 previous posts.

Good to know, Butter. Looking forward to that change and a "back to the top" button!

Haha.....don't hold your breath on that last one. :)

I didn't even realize it had been changed, but I think it was a great move. The old rule of being 6 months post op was not very accurate in my opinion. Even at 3 years post op, there are still days that I feel I am still trying to figure this thing out!!

I won't...I hope we get it some day. Alex said a while ago that it was on the list of things to be done. We can only hope!

I guess I have been breaking the rules. I am almost 11 months out but have way more than 200 post.

Naughty Buplee! (I'm wagging my finger at you ;) )

I immediately flogged myself for me a flagrant rule breaker. Lol. I guess I broke the rules again by replying to you.

Ohhhh, BUTTER!!! Did you see it????? I just found the "back to the top" button!!! Yippee!!

Really? I still haven't found it. Lack of ghrelin has made my eyesight questionable.

I haven't been here forever, don't know if its the new setup or life causing me to nit be online as much. I have really missed the support and info. My hubby had surgery in December, so I'm trying to get back on track with him. I'm staying right at the same weight but still have 10-15 to go. I'm 16 months out, but I'm not sure how many posts I have. Nice to see the banter between some off you still continuing, makes me smile!

Yup, it's really here! I'm on my laptop, not sure if that makes a difference but I've been using it so I'm not seeing things.

You have 243 posts so you're golden.

As I'm looking around a little more, it looks like the button isn't on the main page. But, I do see it right above where I am typing right now, it's blue writing. It's not one of those fancy "back to the top" buttons that are always on the side of the screen, it's one where you have to go all the way down the page and then click on it.

Maybe some day we'll get a fancy one?

GO BACK TO THE TOP!

I like it better with an exclamation mark! Makes it sound like the sharks are coming....or I have run out of breath.... :)
