Veterans - not allowed to post



Recommended Posts

I tried to respond to a thread in the veterans forum and it said I do not have enough posts to post in this forum. How can I get around this.

I believe that forum is locked until you reach 100 forum posts. I'm not sure you can get around it, but you could try PM'ing Alex (the forums' creator) to see if he can let you in?

I was trying to respond to the 5:2 diet thread. How do you send a message to Alex? I'm not sure what constitutes a veteran either. I am a year out..

Hi, Lifer!

I'm at home now, after being sleeved on Monday. Things are really very good--except for the killer gas pains that seem to tie my sleeve in knots whenever I take even a TINY sip of something. Other than that, I'm resting very comfortably.

I do have a low-grade fever (100.3) but when I called the surgeon's office, the nurse said as long as it stays under 101, not to panic. I'm really looking forward to being able to take small sips without clenching my teeth against the gas pains! :rolleyes:

Hi Cynthia--to be considered a veteran you have to have at least 100 forum posts. The more you post, the closer you'll get to the Veteran's Forum being unlocked for you! ;)

I also read that you have to be 6 months post op in addition to the 100 posts.

I have searched everywhere. The VSG Veterans forum says you must be a year out. I assume this feeds from your "surgery information" from your profile which I verified is correct (2years out). But it still says its locked. Is there any other place to look for a solution to this?

Thanks

      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.
