View Content Based On Your Procedure!



Recommended Posts

We've been paying close attention to member feedback since we launched BariatricPal.

We're happy to announce the following changes and updates:

  1. Once a member selects their weight loss surgery type within "My Patient Profile":
    • Your default forum landing page is based on the surgery selected.
    • Topics shown in View New Content on our web site are topics based on the procedure you selected
    • Topics in the "Current" tab on our iOS and Android apps are topics based on the procedure you selected

      Please Note: You can opt out of this feature by checking off the "Show me content from all other surgery types" found within "My Patient Profile"
  2. We've made additional changes to separate members based on their surgery type. Most content is also served based on the surgery members selected within their Patient Profile.
  3. ​We corrected all outstanding issues with members uploading their Before and After photos. You can upload your pics by clicking here.
  4. Please remember to select your Bariatric surgeon, leave them a review and share your weight loss surgery story while you're at it!

You can report all web site or app related issues to our Assistance and Suggestion forum.

Please contact me directly if you're having any account related issues.

We really appreciate your feedback. Please keep it coming!

Log in on the website (not the app) and click on the gear at the top next to your username. That takes you to your settings. On the very first page, set your surgery type. That should do it. :)

dawalsh517, sorry I don't understand your question. Are you seeing posts for a different type of surgery than the one you had or plan to have? Or do you want to see only lap band topics?

Nevermind, I didnt notice we had to go to our profile and select our surgery type, I thought it would have it listed on there from the previous site.

        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
