Is there a tutorial on using these forums? I know, I am from the Stone Age. I mean, I know computers pretty well and use the everyday, but I have never really been a part of a forum. I don’t know how to copy and reply to a specific message like some do. I think I figured out how to find replies to my messages….. Sometimes I am looking at messages and then realize they were from months ago🤪

Welcome. I don’t think there is a tutorial or help materials (Alex will probably let us know if there is) but you seem to be doing pretty well so far. You’ve started a thread. Responded to other posts. Set up your stats in your profile. This was my first forum too but it didn’t take long to work it out.

People here are always happy to share hints & tips on how to get the best out of the forum. So never be afraid to ask. We’re always happy to help, share experiences, offer support, etc. on any question or topic you raise. 😁

As to your specific questions: You can quote a post by selecting the quote button at the bottom of the specific post you want to respond to & this will appear in a box in your response text box. The date a thread began can be found under the thread title & with who started the conversation. Each post also has the date it was posted in response too.

You can follow conversations in threads you responded to by selecting the three horizontal lines in the top right hand corner & then clicking the world icon. If you want to follow a thread without responding, click the pink follow button under the name of the person who began the thread. Most recent threads are listed near the bottom of the home page. Also you can edit your post for a short period of time by clicking the edit button under your post. And you can add pxts to a post by choosing click to choose files.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
