Navigating the site

Are there any tips for navigating the site. I haven't used it since it was LBT and that seemed to be a lot easier to use.

It was divided into pre , post, eating, complications etc This site doesnt seem to have that sort of functionality , it only seems to be divided into the type of surgery ( unless I'm missing something)

I dont want to have to wade through 100+ pages to be able to find 1 post on the topic I'm looking for.

Don't wade... just use the search function.

Those are 3 very different topics and wouldn't be all in 1 place on any site.

I'm a band to bypass revision myself, if you've got any questions, I'd be more than happy to answer them if I can.

They were when it was LBT - there was a forum for each and all the threads were posted under the appropriate forum. I suppose that now its a combined site that functionality has been lost.

As part of my decision making process I want to be able to read up on a range of experiences, good, bad and ugly. I think the better informed a person is the better their success rate.

Thanks for being so helpful. Can you tell me what you eat know, do you struggle with hunger, have you had issues with certain foods etc
