How to change screen name & add info to the left of my posts?



Recommended Posts

I went to "My Profile," but couldn't find where to make changes to expand the personal info that shows down the left side of screen. My guess is that the surgery date that shows now, Nov 1999, is BP system default?

My goal now is the change the screen name from "WLS Resources/Clothing Exchange" to something warmer and less ponderous. I also hope the options will let me mention the clothing exchange in that column. Other changes, too?

Please point me to the correct place(s) to make the amendments/additions. Thank you.

Laurie

P.S. The system gave a location for my surgeon that is incorrect. When I clicked her name to make the correction, I got a message that she isn't in the BP surgeon database. That makes no sense, as the system also put her photo up.

Thanks, again, Kathy. I found a couple of things, such as changing screen name, but realized that I don't know what I want to change it to yet. Couldn't find a way to change date of surgery or other things that are listed on that same page.

Is "signature" what you have at the end of each post, your starting weight, current weight and such?

This may be easy peasy for you. That's because you're a young Chiclet.

When you go into My profile. Look at the tabs at the top. The surgery date info will be under the tab for "My surgery"

Ooooh, thanks @BLERDgirl. I made a couple of changes. Maybe I should have dropped pebbles so that I can find my way back in when I'm ready to do more.

@@proudgrammy -- Chiclets (with the "e") are the square gum things with the hard coating, remember?..... And you are a chicklet. I was your current age when I had surgery. If, however, you tell anyone I said so, I'll deny it.......Don't worry about my initial questions. BLERDgirl solved my confusion.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
