It's one thing to have ads, but these huge ads that come out of nowhere are endlessly annoying.

I don't like how it logs you out of your current thread everytime you navigate away from the page. For example, if I respond to an incoming text while on BP, once I get back to BP, it relogs me in to the app and my place is lost. I do like the new navigation on the sidebar (iPhone). The ads come with every free app so no complaints.

I am unable to access the new version for my iPad and iPhone5s. Will say good bye if it becomes more tedious. Have found the site useful, but not worth any more time than I have already wasted trying to "update".

Unable to access ? You can't download the app ? Can't log in ? Please be more specific so we can attempt to assist you.

Hi Alex,

I don't know why, but for the last day or so the freezing and crashing has gotten much worse. I'll be reviewing threads in Participated and often when I reply or like, it will freeze. Nothing gets it going again except closing and restarting the app. Sometimes it happens even when I'm only reading the posts and not interacting with them. Also, I've noticed the screen jumping constantly as if it was refreshing all the time. Very very annoying because it is so hard to read as it jumps and refreshes.

I didn't notice these problems several days ago. Weird.

Same experience here, with both the freezing and the screen jumping.

Additionally, the "mark read" checkmark says to use a long hold to avoid the pop-up dialog but I can hold it forever and nothing happens. And despite marking read, threads show up under the "unread" section when no new posts have been added.

I am sorry but I HATE the new app!!! You can't chat, and there are horrible pop ups that repeat as soon as you close them. Bring the old one back!!!! It's a total bummer!!!

It's dreadful. I cannot fathom what the motivation was for completely revamping and doing this, other than advertising revenue. All the other changes I am finding are definitely for the worse, and I to find myself avoiding using it now unless I am on a full computer using the full site. That will cut my usage time (and enjoyment!) down by about 90% or more. I'm glad it was there during my preop and immediate postop time though, because it felt like a tremendous lifeline for me. I'm only sorry it will not be as user-friendly and readily accessible for those coming along now.

It's horrible! It keeps freezing up. Even as I went to reply to this post it froze up. Very frustrating. Honestly I am not using this app as often since the "upgrade".

I'd like to see previews for topics in each section. Now I have to open each one to see if there is anything I'm interested in. So slow! And I'd prefer to only see general topics and VSG topics. Not interested in band or RNY issues.

And I'd pay for an ad-free experience.

      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
