How to change screen name & add info to the left of my posts?



Recommended Posts

I went to "My Profile," but couldn't find where to make changes to expand the personal info that shows down the left side of screen. My guess is that the surgery date that shows now, Nov 1999, is BP system default?

My goal now is the change the screen name from "WLS Resources/Clothing Exchange" to something warmer and less ponderous. I also hope the options will let me mention the clothing exchange in that column. Other changes, too?

Please point me to the correct place(s) to make the amendments/additions. Thank you.

Laurie

P.S. The system gave a location for my surgeon that is incorrect. When I clicked her name to make the correction, I got a message that she isn't in the BP surgeon database. That makes no sense, as the system also put her photo up.

Thanks, again, Kathy. I found a couple of things, such as changing screen name, but realized that I don't know what I want to change it to yet. Couldn't find a way to change date of surgery or other things that are listed on that same page.

Is "signature" what you have at the end of each post, your starting weight, current weight and such?

This may be easy peasy for you. That's because you're a young Chiclet.

When you go into My profile. Look at the tabs at the top. The surgery date info will be under the tab for "My surgery"

Ooooh, thanks @BLERDgirl. I made a couple of changes. Maybe I should have dropped pebbles so that I can find my way back in when I'm ready to do more.

@@proudgrammy -- Chiclets (with the "e") are the square gum things with the hard coating, remember?..... And you are a chicklet. I was your current age when I had surgery. If, however, you tell anyone I said so, I'll deny it.......Don't worry about my initial questions. BLERDgirl solved my confusion.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
