I need help updating my profile please



Recommended Posts

I updated my profile to include my surgery date, but it is not showing up on the information that shows up under my name on the side of posts. How do I modify what shows up there?

This issue has been resolved, thanks.

How do I start a new thread with caption in bold letters?

Please don't take this personally but that's called "shouting" and people don't like seeing that on message boards or forums like ours :)

Got another technical question.

How can you change your tagline...the phrase that appears below your user name on your profile?

I joined this forum as "Natasha" back in 2008 with the tagline "Post Op Lapband Newbie"

I just changed my Display name to Nologoz...but am unable to change the tagline. I want to change it because I no longer have a lap band. It has been revised to RnY.

Is there a way to change or delete the old tagline?

.................................................................................................................................................................

EDIT: OK.......never mind. Somehow the tagline just defaulted to "Senior Member".

I dunno how or why....just glad it's fixed...ask and you shall receive.

Many thanks to the gods of the internet.

I tried to change something in my profile this morning. I got an error message that I had an invalid surgery date. I don't have a surgery date, there was something else I was trying to change. I can't get the change to stick. Help, please.

Also, my surgeon is "not listed". How do I get Diane Kwan MD added?

There seems to be a little bug with surgery dates. We are researching this issue and will have this issue corrected shortly.

Please send an email with any and all info on Bariatric surgeon to support@BariatricPal.com and we will add them asap.

No, it hasn't. I still can't add my surgeon. This is my third request. 12 days and counting.

        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
