Does anyone know if the system "does" notify of responses? I thought I selected to be notified if there were responses but haven't had one notification. I've gone back and discovered that I had some.

Also, I keep getting "bumped" off for lack of a better term...I log in and go to something and find out I'm not logged in...anyone else have this problem? I've been on for about an hour and had to re-log in about five times.

Thanks...I'll just check back when I post. It's probably my end anyway...they filter a lot here.

Hi Deb, several of us have mentioned that this place seems "off" at times... who knows why?

I, too, wish I could be more help... maybe one of the moderators could give you a better idea.

when are you getting banded?

Wish I had something helpful to say, but I really don't know much about this software. I do know that the e-mail notification has worked, because there were complaints from one or two people who were not able to turn it off! Maybe it got turned off altogether? I'll try to do some testing to see if I can find anything out.

I was getting email notice when a response had been posted to a thread I had viewed, then all of a sudden it stopped. About two weeks ago, out of no where or any adjustments to my profile, they started up again. Since I check here many times a day, I don't think I really need the notices now, oh well.

I turned off the instant notification when I left for surgery but still had tons of e-mails when I got back, so it didn't work. I do notice (and it says this) that if more than one person replies to a thread to which I am subscribed, I only get the next post, not subsequent posts...know what I mean? So if I don't go visit the thread after I have read the e-mailed post, I may miss some replies.

But it did NOT cancel my notifications when I asked it to. This system "burps" for a day or two every once in a while...don't know why. It is, however, the easiest to navigate massage board I have been on.

Well, good to know it isn't just me....senior moments can be scary!

Paula, answering your question....the 17th, god willing and the creek don't rise!

I have allergies and this is the WORST time of year here...I'm worried the sleeper (can't spell that other word) guy will put a nix on it if he hears me in the morning...I ALWAYs wake up congested from the drip all night...maybe I can sleep sitting up!

Wish me luck!

        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
