What happened to the Pre-op/Post-op sections?



Recommended Posts

Anyone know what happened to the pre-op/post-op sections of the forums?

It seems odd to lump all pre-op and post-op discussions together under a generic "general discussion." We all have a different focus and needs depending where we are in the process.

Problem with VST in general, is that you get no forum assistance when you ask a question. Except from others on here who have learned as they go.

But actual, official technical assistance doesn't exist here.

So, I figure either those two sections are just gone for good, or they will just reappear with no explanation.

You can send a private message to Alex owner of the board. There is no guarantee he will answer, but I have to say, he does usually answer me.

I sent a message using "contact us" late last night. I sent a message about something else at the beginning of the week and got a personal response, so I am hopeful.

Last night I went on because I had a question I really needed to answer. I did a topic search and was really happy to see a lot of thread related to the topic. Unfortunately....all the threads were in Pre or Post which meant they could not longer be accessed. I was really bummed!

Glad to see that someone else is wondering as well... I totally HATE the new organization of this site. No longer that friendly feel... I'm lost here.

I hope ALEX changes it back... or I probably will not be such a frequent visitor as I can't find anything.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
