Not Liking The Changes



Recommended Posts

VerticalSleeve talked worked well. This new format sucks. I missed reading and posting but I hate that I can't see new content. Is that feature going to come back? It is time consuming to go to each folder and see what is new.

I agree - this new website configuration is not enjoyable. I usually manage to get over my irritation at big website overhauls in about a week, but the new format here is not good. Having to click all over the different topic headings to find where the people I follow most are participating is really not fun. And everything is so mixed together, it's confusing.

I just hope they get it together soon and fix this stuff up a bit more - it's ruined the site for me at this point. Oh and the constant flashing outside ads? Completely annoying.

Also, I would have gladly paid a monthly fee to keep VST how it was (without the extra new ads, etc), instead of this mess. I know not everyone would pay but I really liked the old site and really wish it was still the same. Not sure how much longer I'm going to stick around now.

You were filtering the forums and only had a few forums selected. I reset your filter and you should be good to go. You can do this yourself by playing around with the settings on the right hand sidebar once you click on New Content.

Alex - I like that you are pro active. I hope the site improves.

Thank you...it will! Most issues members have been experiencing will be quashed within the next few days. Change isn't easy and it's understandably disorienting for some. We really appreciate everyones patience.

I wonder how many others don't know about the filters. I didn't know I could drill down to specific forums. I just saw the check box options. I am seeing more content now that I went in and selected all lapband forums.

Once the dust settles down and everything is working 100%, we plan on sending an email to all members with a simple tutorial which will explain all the new features added to the site. At the moment we automatically filter your New Content to display only the forums based on the surgery selected in a members 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. 🤞
