I don't know what made me think to try it, but it must have been because I don't like the changes to this website. I signed off the site earlier and then as a guest, I clicked on at least one user profile. ....and lo' and behold, if someone is viewing the site as a guest (not registered on the site), they can see your profile information. I had pictures on here before, but haven't been able to find them since the change to the site. It was easier before the changes and when I tried to view my gallery as a guest, I couldn't see anything there either. But, I don't want anyone that might be "sneaky" to be able to find my b-day information and/or my location. I've changed my gender and b-day so they're not showing. I didn't remember having to put my city and state before, but when I tried to save the other changes, the site required me to put city, state and zip. What the?????? In this day and age, I do not feel safe having that info out there, so since it had to have something, I gave invalid info.

So, I was curious to know what everyone else thinks.

I haven't searched that far yet, but i can tell you since they changed the site, my original log in name & profile is unaccessible. I tried the password recovery, emailing the link provided, nothing works. Had to create a new one. I did notice to save some things though i needed my state & zip code. I'm new to the form so it's not a big deal being i didn't have many posts to begin with but what a pain in the butt.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
