Can't change height



Recommended Posts

I'm trying to change my height, but it's not letting me.

I'm 1cm taller than what it's set at.

I live in Australia where we've been metric for 45 years now. I set my height as 176cm on day one of joining here but the system came up at 175cm.

I tried to adjust my profile ... several times. No luck.

I have now written twice to the website manager. Still no reply after 5 weeks and 2 weeks respectively.

I am a tad annoyed as being a whole centimetre shorter elevates my BMI by a few tenths above its real number. If you look left now you'll see "Height: 175cm" and BMI: 50" when it's truly 176cm and 49.6 ... go figure.

I sense it annoys you too!

It's ridiculous that they can't get it to show the most accurate measurement there is. I mean there is a difference in 165 and 166, as it is with you at 175 and 176. It gives us a higher BMI.

It annoys me to no end.

Hey support, how about fixing this.

I've written two emails to support (37 days ago and 15 days ago) and not got even an acknowledgement from the support "team".

I suspect Max and 99 are dead and just Himey and Fang are running support ... using the Chief's cadaver as an office-chair.

Yeah, sadly I don't see it changing any time soon.....

But at least I know it's not correct, and I'm so close to being under BMI 25 that it shouldn't be a problem. But it would be nice to have the correct number.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
