Hi there,

just updated my weight in my profile but there is something off. It now looks like there is a weight loss of 31 kg since May which is of course not correct.

I provided a different starting date (when I had my first surgery in 2001) but this doesn't seem to show?

I know what you mean as my weight loss goes back to when I started to diet without surgery back in 2006. To avoid confusion with how much I have lost since my first consultation I simply added to my signature line that I had lost a certain amount of weight before that first visit with the surgeon. If you felt it necessary you could add a signature line with your starting weight when you had your first surgery in 2001 and how much you lost then.

@@summerset Your starting weight, current weight, etc. are not showing because you've chosen to "Keep my weight private". If you would like those weights to show (including Starting Weight), you'll need to uncheck that setting.

Thanks for your answer but I chose the private mode on purpose. I was just wondering why the profile shows e. g. my starting weight as 130 lbs and not as 130 kg.

@@summerset was that prior to changing your settings to Private? The only weight shown on your profile at the moment is the Weight Lost (which is normal for when your settings are Private) - though that does indeed show as lbs, which is indeed an error and we'll look into it. I just want to make sure we're on the same page so that we can get all of it resolved :-)

The private setting was on purpose. :)

IIRC changing the setting to private didn't change anything at all regarding that lbs/kg error on the profile.

@@summerset Okay, so you're referring to the Weight Lost? Or can you screen shot where you're currently seeing "lbs" instead of "kgs"?

      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. 🤞
