December 2013 Sleevers Come In!

[AtlantaRed 651]

Hello!!! I have not heard from the Baratric center but I called my INC and they said YES I'm approved!!!! December 30th is my life changing day.

I originally was approved for gastric bypass was two weeks away from surgery and it did not feel right, I could not get over the malabsorption, and losing the bottom part of your stomach that lets alittle food out at a time Into your intestines. So I now feel really good I'm ready for a new life!

Welcome to our group! There are 2 other Dec 30s on here to go through it with you! There is also a secret Facebook page if you're interested in joining. The link is in the very first post of this thread!

All,

There is a post trending about pics and privacy in the Post-Op section...when people are able to google their name and all posts on this VSG site came up! Some of us want privacy. I would copy link but don't know how....help!

This is the App to download on your phone or other device: http://appshopper.com/social-networking/bariatricpal

At the bottom, there are 10 screen shots to flip through to see the app before downloading it. There are some pics and sceen names as well as posts clearly seen.

If I go to Google and search for "atlantared" then yes, my profile does come up. AtlantaRed is ONLY my name on here as I didn't want my identity from other sites to be the same. If I Google search my real name, this site doesn't come up.

Hope that helps.

By the way, you can change your screen name if you are using one that you also use in other places if you want more privacy. I will probably change my picture and that should be all I need to do.

If anyone does change their screen name, give me a heads up so I can change it on the mega list!

I think it is being shut down BUT we really shouldn't notice it. They are moving everything over for us. Right now there are separate pages for the different surgies such as Vertical Sleeve Talk, Lap Band Talk, etc. They are combining all of them to one site called Bariatric Pal. However, there will still be areas that are separate for each procedure but also places where everybody with ANY of the procedures can interact.

Does that help?
