Well first I could not start a new thread or respond. I'm on the mobile iPad app Nd those options just weren't in the drop down menu. So I closed the app and reopened and they were there...e.then they left again.....then came back. So I went to the main website but there is only lapband forums there.....I can't see anything else. I clicked on the "if you're experiencing technical issues" thing.....and it wouldn't let me send anything. LOL. It said I needed to fill in the detailed description of my problem. I had...still wouldn't send it. That's something I think needs to work today. You need that right?

I guess for now I can post. I hope it stays that way.

Oh....PMs.....not working? I keep getting a pop up saying I don't have access to them. Yes I'm signed in. I can see mine, just can't respond to any of them.

I get it! Apparently there are quite a few "bugs" to fix/kill/maim yet!!! On my side, it shows responses to threads but when I try to read them, they aren't there...and I have "subscribed" to over 200 threads and it shows they aren't read - it's driving me crazy!

I just tried to respond to a thread on a lapband forum and it told me I didn't have enough posts to post there. 10000 isn't enough? Bloody hell.

Butterthebean, apparently in their wisdom they made you and I part of the lapband forum instead of the sleeve forum. It makes that forum a default, and I don't know/can't figure out how/where to change it. I want my sleeve back!

In the most delicious of ironies, I tried to respond and say I was having the same problem but...you guessed it. Permission denied! So I had to log back out and log back in just to say I have trouble posting and if I want to post I have to log back out and log back in. Sigh.

It's based on the surgery type you've selected within your patient profile.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
