I need help updating my profile please

I have attempted time & time again over the course of the past week to update my profile. I am trying to upload new photos because since the first photo I posted, I have lost an additional 100lbs and am very proud. I have also seen on other peoples profiles where they are able to put there starting weight, as well as where they are now.

I also am not able to send any private messages to anyone at all. My profile name was changed, or rather a sequence of numbers added to the original when RNY and Bariatric Pal combined.

I do have the Android App on my phone, and this is what I use since I do not have a computer or tablet. I am able to open up the full site on my web browser though.

Can you please help me?

Thank you kindly,

Samantha Johnson

  • I updated my profile to include my surgery date, but it is not showing up on the information that shows up under my name on the side of posts. How do I modify what shows up there?

Please don't take this personally but that's called "shouting" and people don't like seeing that on message boards or forums like ours :)

I can't change my profile pic. I've tried a million times and 100 pounds ago but it stays the same. Please help!

Got another technical question.

How can you change your tagline...the phrase that appears below your user name on your profile?

I joined this forum as "Natasha" back in 2008 with the tagline "Post Op Lapband Newbie"

I just changed my Display name to Nologoz...but am unable to change the tagline. I want to change it because I no longer have a lap band. It has been revised to RnY.

Is there a way to change or delete the old tagline?

.................................................................................................................................................................

EDIT: OK.......never mind. Somehow the tagline just defaulted to "Senior Member".

I dunno how or why....just glad it's fixed...ask and you shall receive.

Many thanks to the gods of the internet.

Thank you

I tried to change something in my profile this morning. I got an error message that I had an invalid surgery date. I don't have a surgery date, there was something else I was trying to change. I can't get the change to stick. Help, please.

Also, my surgeon is "not listed". How do I get Diane Kwan MD added?

There seems to be a little bug with surgery dates. We are researching this issue and will have this issue corrected shortly.

Please send an email with any and all info on Bariatric surgeon to support@BariatricPal.com and we will add them asap.

This issue has been resolved. Your surgeon should be added in a few days at most.

No, it hasn't. I still can't add my surgeon. This is my third request. 12 days and counting.
