It's just like Facebook. Every time they make a change, everyone whines, complains and hates it. But then, after they get used to the change life is good again. Things will get better guys, Alex did not do this to make everyone miserable. Managing four websites at once was a huge chore. Now, with everything combined on one site, they will have more time to enable more features everyone has been asking for. You just have to be patient and give the team time to work through everything. Positive feedback and suggestions are helpful to them. General complaining without offering specific reasons why and suggestions are not. Can't we all just get along? LOL

We are complaining because there is little action on the forum. Not much the team can do about that.

I have been trying to figure out why...it seems the bugs are fixed but there is little action and it is like we can't find each other.

On VST the new posts for all forums were listed on right and the newest post was listed under each forum,right? I think that drew me in. Now I come right to the VSG forums but don't seem to be drawn in except to threads I already posted to. I know about the new content tab I am just saying the new format doesn't draw me to new threads or explore forums.

You should mention this to Alex, and any suggestions you have that might help. He is very, very open to suggestions.

The bugs on the website may be mostly fixed....but the mobile app still needs some work. I know Alex is aware of the problems so no point in rehashing them. But the question is when?

Why start a new one when the "Enabling" thread pretty much runs the gamut! Lol.

Bahahaha !!! I've just kinda zoned out since we just seem to be ranting and raving on every thread subscribed to. :). Doesn't matter what the original topic, it all goes south from there. Think everyone is just kinda in limbo right now.

I second the miss the latest topic under the sub forum. I have to dig to see content and I don't like it. I'm lazy. So I mostly post to threads I've already written in, check the vets forum and at least once a day I look at new content. Even the new content is not as great for me because there is lots of Lapland and RNY specific posts included. Lynda

I want the entire right column of VSG to be recent VSG comments. I don't care about status updates (if I want that I'll go looking for it) or posts that no one has replied to.(they show in recent comments for their allotted time. If the op wants to bump it they can do it and it shows in recent comments again)

There.. I said my rant

Oh.. And trending topics are technically not trendy if they're so old. So, again if they're actually trending or trendy or whatever they will appear in the recent comments :D

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
