UPDATE YOUR STATS; it makes it easier for others to answer your questions

  • Popular Post

I accidentally double-posted another topic so I thought I'd erase that duplicated content and put something else in its place. Is this the best I could do? Apparently. Did I put much effort into thinking of something else to post? Not really.

Anyway... in case you've forgotten how to update your stats (all the information under your username) try following these steps.

Make sure your dog, cat, or bird is watching so you can impress them. :)

1. Go to PATIENTS (top of page).

2. Select MY SURGERY.

3.a. Update the information under SURGERY

3 b. Select PROGRESS (see squiggly arrow on left side of screen) to update even more!

4. Paste a gold star in the middle of your forehead. Good job!

While you're at it.... upload a photo or an animation above your username.

If there's anything else you don't know, ask someone else. Just kidding. No, really. Ask someone else. I probably don't know.

No that's really a great idea ;)

Sure keep hoping that will happen, I keep going on and trying to update and the app is like Teflon, as soon as 70,ileave the facts slide away. That's why I listed all of,mine above, I hope against hope, Ken S will take pity and transfer them over! HONEST FOLKS I KEEP TRYING!???

That would take a qualified app developer, which they may not have, and from my user experience across multiple app platforms that seems to be the case...

Ok guys, pls don't laugh at me if this is stupid.... Is there a way to see who "likes" or reacts to your posts?

On the app yes (might just be the IOS app though, because even though @AshAsh1 has shown me screenshots, I cannot see any like / reaction information on the Android version of the app), on the website, no.

I personally think instead of saying "someone" reacted, it should just tell u who. Maybe I'm just more curious than most...lol. Who knows

Oh no, we can too. On the lower right where it might say 2? you hit that and it says like --MattZ and Orchids and Dragons liked your post. That's one thing they didn't forget.

Yes, on the app I can. I have an Apple phone. You tap on the emojis and it shows you.

So, there is a shortcut I use when updating my weight. On every page on right hand side when at a computer, there is a long column of featured surgeons, ads, recent status updates, trending news, etc. On the very bottom is a ticker to show how much weight we've all lost titled "together we have lost". In that ticker, if you enter your updated weight, then your stats are updated in your profile.
