Hey y'all. Just trying to get something started for the New Orleans metro sleevers. I'm hoping that we can use this group as a great tool of support and learning.

I joined! I only use the phone app so now I gotta go see how to reply on it. I'm feeling kinda dumb right about now!

[Saint_Sammie 21]

Hopefully the group can still be of use to you on the app.

Hi my name is Ebony and I live in Gentilly. I am on Day 4 of my 2 week preop diet. MGM if you find out how to follow the group on the iPhone app please let me know.

[Saint_Sammie 21]

So far the phone app doesn't seem to have a place for groups.

[EbonyJ 5]

Well is there any way to post to threads I'm following from the app? The app sent me a notification of your reply but when I went to open the thread it says you do not have permission to view this topic. It does that for all the threads I'm following. So I get the alert from the app then I have to use Safari to reply.

[Saint_Sammie 21]

Yeah it did the same thing to me. It's annoying. I wonder if they are aware of this issue.

Do you have the VST app downloaded to your phone? I can go find things that way. All I use is my phone. My computer is out of commission right now. When you click on that link on the email it's just to see the posts.

[EbonyJ 5]

Yes I have the app on my iPhone and iPad. When it sends me the notification I click on the subscribed tab and I can read the last post but when I try to open the thread it says I don't have permission to view this topic so I can't post any replys unless I use safari and go to the website. How do you reply using the app?

[MGM 140]

I click the VST app then look for the thread under current

Greetings everyone,

I am currently residing in Baton Rouge, but I go walking and now bicycling in New Orleans every Saturday. I was just sleeved on May 11, 2012 in Mexico. The experience was great and life changing. I hope that I can make some friends here and exchange some experiences and such.

[Saint_Sammie 21]

Welcome to the group Slim! And congrats on your surgery. Where do you do your biking in NOLA?

I would really like to get a monthly support group going, I just am at a loss for a place to meet. If anyone has any ideas that would be awesome.

[EbonyJ 5]

I'm also interested in biking. I live in Gentilly so I was thinking maybe city park since there's some shade there, it won't be overly hot. Nice to meet you too. My name is Ebony and I was sleeved on Tuesday May 22nd.

[Saint_Sammie 21]

I don't have a bike yet, but once I do I would be up for some riding in city park. It's only about a mile from my house.

I was going to try to make a meet-up group for us, but come to find out they charge. And I really am not in a place to spend extra money right now. This makes me sad.
