Dates of Surgery?

One thing is a bit confusing to me.

I see so many people in the many threads and topics and I've noticed something.

There are people talking about their goal weight, or preparing for surgery, or that they are a week or two out and how much they have lost. Some are getting excited about their approval, or impending surgery date.

Then I look at the bio part or their profile and it say Surgery Date 1999. I am confused and wonder why it says that if it is a default setting and people are just not entering their surgery date.

I like to look at where people are now and when they had their respective surgery.

Thanks.

Yes, it is a default setting and I think it is basically impossible for people to change if they are using the app version rather than the web version.

Ahhhhhh, that makes sense. I thought it had something to do with some technical thing.

My surgery is scheduled for Sept. 11th! I'm getting excited.. AND nervous!!
