Thanks for the BA info! I always wondered how they tracked territory sales. The punch card is a genius idea.

That's so odd that you didn't receive a notification prior to your BP Store renewal! I double and triple checked and we absolutely do send out notifications 3 days prior to orders renewing. I hope it didn't end up in your spam folder.

I haven't received anything like that from my surgeon's office yet (I received a BA pamphlet with a discount code), but I'm going to have my first post-op follow-up appointment roughly two and a half hours.

I wish there were a way to see user's info like surgery type, date, high weight, current weight, etc. It provides a lot of useful context to the discussions. I have tried clicking on screen names but see none of that info there, either.

We definitely agree with you and have already implemented users surgery information into their profiles on the new mobile app.

Oh! One thing I've just thought of: a Vitamin tracker (both taking and supply tracking). It gives us, the end-users, the benefit of an app that tracks our Vitamin usage (including when we took our Iron vitamin so we can know when it's okay to take our calcium citrate vitamins) and also allows you the benefit of upselling Vitamins when we start to run low.

1000% agree! We do have plans to build out a complete nutrition tracking solution in a future release of the mobile app. We also have plans to integrate with Apple Health and are looking into the possibility of Google Fit integration as well as various tracking wearables.

We do agree with your Magazine comment and in fact, the magazine area of the new app was inspired by the sidebar you mentioned :)

We're loving the feedback and will do our best to implement all features that users find valuable and necessary, we're looking forward to hearing more!

No problem, maybe BP can do a punch card deal too!

On the email, all I received was a notification that my order had shipped, which is why I contacted customer service to see if they can change the flavor before sending it, but by then it was too late to change anything. I did look back at my spam folder and there was nothing else there. But thank you for your concern and for checking.

Well, this is one of the advantages a well-designed app could have: push notifications to help supplement the e-mail notifications. That way, people can review and change their orders as needed.

Also, not app-related but maybe you should integrate notifications via Facebook Messenger as well?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
