Topic: RE: Are you still losing?
Rhonda,
I haven't lost anything in over a month. But I haven't gaines either. I haven't been really strict on myself. And I haven't been working out either. Work schedule too hectic. I promised myself I am going to lighten up the work load and do for me starting in March. Good Luck to you!!

Topic: RE: I AM ABSOLUTELY LIVID !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry...not the volunteer's fault. Post enough times on OH and you will be picked up my crawlers for search engines...THAT'S how it happens. If you go to the actual site that you Yahoo(ed) to, you will find that you are not a 'click-able' patient...therefore, you are not actually claimed as a patient. I've Googled my own name as well...I've come up on 100's of sites...the only way not to is to make your profile private (both to the public and to yourself) and wait for the crawlers to time out (usually a few months) and not to post anything on this web site ever again...not worth it in my opinion.
Even posting to surgery support pages will make your name show up on other surgeons' sites...

Topic: I AM ABSOLUTELY LIVID !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am absolutely livid !!!!! I had my profile spruced up by a OH volunteer. Now my profile page is being used on a website for a Surgical Clinic that I have never been to. According to the website...the OH volunteer gave them the profile.
This is absolutely absurd !!!!!!! Has this happened to anyone else ? I ran my name through a Yahoo search and the Surgical Center link came up. I have never been to this place or had anything to do with it !
I am so angry with the person from OH that spruced up my profile !!!

Wanda,
Great photos. Thanks for sharing.
There is really no way to stop the volunteers from posting the photos if you already submitted them. It takes 3+ weeks for them to get up on the site depending how many requests they get.
If you didn't ask in your original request, you can submit a second request for a photo to be shown with your posts. E-mail them with an attached jpg of the photo you want used. They will crop it. Often the volunteer will automatically do one from the photos submitted for your profile.

Topic: RE: ONE YEAR TODAY!!
Thanks all for the lovely replies!
I am looking forward to my next post op birthday and where I'll be at that time. At Goal I hope! I excercise with my daughter even tho I don't care for it...lol...I still can be lazy...One thing I asked my hubby for ( and Lord knows I never really asked for much..lol) was that I wanted something "big" to celebrate my weight loss and our upcoming 30 year wedding anniversary. I asked for and received a three stone diamond ring.
It's the most gorgeous piece I have ever owned. (really the only piece of jewelry besides my wedding rings..
. So I made out like a bandit in the last year with the big weight loss, improved health and alot of bling bling.....
Blessings and hugs to all!!

Topic: Finally got pics on profile
Hey everyone.... I finally figured out how to get my pictures on my profile (with my husband's help!). Do any of you know how to let the picture people here know not to worry with my submission of pics from January 17? And how I can get my picture to show on my posts and replies?
Thanks ahead for your help and if you get a minute, check out my pics.
