When you "follow" a topic it adds the thread to your subscribed threads section. I'm not sure how that is shown on pc but it's pretty handy on the iPad.

I have assumed that i would receive replies to the ones that i push "follow." This is a great question. :)

One feature of the site is that it automatically "follows"/"subscribes" you to any thread that you participate in. If you want to "follow" a thread that you didn't post in then click follow and it will add it to your "new content" tab.

Sorry I didn't explain it better. I had to open the forum in safari and play with it a minute to understand it better.

If you want email alerts to threads or certain things, you have to change it in your settings. I get emails only when someone "likes" one of my posts. I turned off all the other email alerts because I was getting too many.

To reply on an iPad simply touch the icon in the top right corner of he screen and a drop down menu will appear with th this option

To reply with a quote, there is a down arrow to in the right upper corner of he post you want to quote that will open those options

Also the same arrow on your post will allow you to edit your post.

      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.
