When I read interesting posts from interesting people, I always like to know more about them....so I go to the profile and it's amazing how often (I would say 8 or 9 times out of 10) that people here have not completed their profile or added photos....not trying to be nosy, but this is interesting stuff and I feel like we are a hui (group) of people with common interests, challenges and questions. This forum has helped me beyond my expectations (I was sleeved in Germany and have been living in Hawaii.....so not exactly convenient), plus I never had a nutritionist. So I come here for lots of information. Have 'friended' many but it's just nice to know where people started and see a photo. So just my little request....that and also, be sure you have your SIGNATURES turned on (if you are not seeing my signature and link to my blog below then that means you aren't seeing anyone's signature or ticker tapes....I had mine off unknowingly for a long time). Go to your name/settings/NewsFeed and check the box towards the bottom that says Display Signature Changes.

I love this community and just want to know more about people!

I've filled out my profile, but I haven't done "My story" yet. I wanted to wait until after my surgery.

I feel the exact same way!!! I love to know more about everyone! I always like to see where people are from and what their interests are.... and pictures! Who doesn't love progress pictures??? I plan to post progress pictures because I know how much it means to the pre-surgery ( like me) or freshly sleeved ( who may be going through a rough period and needs to see the "golden ring")....

I think a lot of folks use mobile apps, it's harder to look at and change profiles

Yes when I come on my phone if I look at someone's profile all you see is how long they have been a member, the amount of post they have, view their threads or post, and adding and private messaging, you can not view any of the information that is shown on the web based profiles.

Go to your Profile and edit it. You will just have to play around with it to find everything.

I've been meaning to update mine, thanks for the reminder!

There are really no profiles when using the phone app, which is how I access 99% of the time.

I will update mine maybe over the weekend when I have more energy. Right now I feel just about ready to pass out in bed =) I have not posted pictures yet, and I doubt I will until I'm quite a bit further along. I don't have any real before pictures, just a progress picture a few weeks out. Anyway, I'll get it together and post some pics eventually when I'm down over 50 probably.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a way to post any pictures to my profile using my iPad or iPhone, & I'm too lazy to boot up my Mac.

      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. 🤞
