  1. 1. Do you want the adds that appear in the middle of the posts to be removed?

I just want to voice my discontentment with these adds that appear in the middle of our messages/posts. They are sooooo inapropriate. They are not even related to VSG but to other weight loss procedures that most of us know will not work.

Vote and voice your opinion.

Thanks

I thought it was just me - LOL. The page is pretty much filled with advertisements and since they've seemed to run out of space they started placing them smack-dab in the middle of our posts/replies. It is a bit distracting.

I agree, they are annoying. But if they weren't there these message boards wouldn't be free. Something has to pay to keep these boards up and running. So I'll put up with the ads, if it means having a great board like this to go.

Wishes - What is "AdBlock" and how do we do it?"

Thanks!

I'm fed up with them as well. The mobile site on iPad used to not show the ads that have always shown up on the right side of the regular web site version, but the new ads that are in the posts are showing up even on the iPad. Very frustrating when you are using a datacard to now have to use my data usage to pull down images of ads that I don't want in the first place. I honestly think I would rather pay a few dollars a month to be on the boards just to not put up with the ads. At least they could give us the option.

I hate them too and one reason I'm not on here as much as I use to be. It's hard to keep focused on what I'm reading with something flashing all around me.

      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?
