how do I add my surgeons name?



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. I am trying to add my surgeons name or soon to be surgeons name and I go to the edit profile and type in my dr.s name and hit save changes and it says setting saved but then the surgeons name never shows up in the profile or patient profile. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? thanks :)

I've had the same problem, entered mine about a dozen times and it won't stay!

Mine was there, but then it disappeared days later. I've come to the conclusion that if your doctor isn't registered with this site, they won't be listed. It seems all doctors seen on the members profiles, are setup in the system (somehow). If I'm wrong in my conclusion, I would love to know what the issue is.

Thank you everyone for reporting this issue! We're looking into it and will update this thread when we have further info.

If possible, can you let me know what you're using to access the site ? PC ? Tablet ? Mobile ?

I noticed you were able to update to your surgeon, Dr. Chris Cobourn. How'd you do it ? We're rolling out an update in a few weeks which should make this entire process a lot simpler.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
