I read about your suggestion page but thought I would post here to get help quickly. Am I missing a page that tells you how to do everything? Like, post a personal message or find members without going through all the pages?

I also cannot figure out how to move my ticker tape weight loss number. Am I just a dummie or what?

To post a Private Message to someone, go to UserCP at the top of the page...same place as where you would put in your signature. On the left hand side it'll say about private messages and to send a message. Click that and it's pretty easy after that.

To look for someone, you can go to the main page and scroll down alll the way at the bottom and it'll show a list of people online. Or you can click the search button on top and click the "Advanced" part. It'll do a part for the users too. You have to know at least part of their user name and not their actual name though. As far as I know (I could be wrong too) you can't search by real name.

SueSue, I just go to UserCP, Edit Signature and then double click on the ticker at the top of the section. It will take you immediately to the Ticker Factory, where you can log in and change your info.

Once it says it's been changed, when you come back into this site, you'll find your ticker's been updated!! Ain't technology swell?!!!!:ranger:

You can also PM or email someone (depending on his or her preferences) by clicking on the member's user name in a post and then click on "View Public Profile." If the member allows getting PMs or emails, there will be a link on that page.

Really simple to edit your ticker - just click on it. You should have a password that you used to set it up with. Put that in, press the button to edit/update, fix your info and press the button to finish. It'll change the info for you so you don't have to keep putting in a new URL when your ticker goes down.

      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. 🤞
