Topic: RE: dr.tanner leaving
I am sorry I don't but give the board some time I am sure someone will give some info. I think (even though doc's sign contracts) it is rediculous for them not to let us know where they are going. UGH! We buid relationships and then they get broken because the office doesn't want us to know.
good luck and I am sorry for you

Topic: RE: Dr.Tompkins at Kings Daughters
When I went to the SWL Seminar, just a couple weeks ago they did segment on it. I do remember them saying that it is harder to get insurance to approve the sleeve, but I don't remember them saying that they didn't do it. Tompkins is the Doctor I chose as well.. I really like him =D

Topic: Health Tracker Updates In Time For The Holidays - Profile Integration and Workouts

Today we released a couple of major updates to Health Tracker just in time for the holidays (as we continue on the path to Health Tracker world domination :). These updates include, 1) Profile display of Health Tracker - If you choose to, you are now able to display/share your Health Tracker within your personal profile. This can be kept completely private, it can be shared with only your friends or with the entire ObesityHelp community. 2) My Workouts - You are now able to build and store custom workouts that can be used over and over again. My Workouts will allow you to log multiple exercise/activity items at one time so you don't have to search for individual exercises each time you want to log your activity or exercise session.

Profile Display of Health Tracker .

The profile display of Health Tracker includes Body, Food Log, Exercise Log and the Macronutrient Report. As mentioned above, this can be kept entirely private or you can choose to share your Health Tracker information with friends, family, your bariatric surgeon or other clinicians.

In order to see the profile view of Health Tracker, when viewing your profile or another member's profile, look for the Health Tracker link to the right of the avatar. If there is no Health Tracker link, the profile view of Health Tracker has been set to private.


 

The privacy settings for Health Tracker can be found in the "Settings" section of My OH. To access your Health Tracker setting click My OH at the top of any page on ObesityHelp, select "Settings" on the left, click the Health Tracker tab and choose the "Sharing" option. Or, just click here to access your Health Tracker Sharing options :)

Workouts

My Workouts makes it quick and easy to log routine exercise and activity. For those who perform similar exercises on a regular basis, with My Workouts you can create a workout consisting of a series of exercises you often perform and instead logging each exercise indivivudally, My Workouts allows to log a single item (a workout) that contains all of the exericses you have performed. Build it once and log it any number of times.

Under My Workouts you will see a list of workouts that you have created and saved. You can log workouts directly from My Workouts by selecting "I did this", choose the day and click "Save"

You can also search for workouts you have created directly from your Exercise Log.

Create your first workout now!

One other addition

For your convenience, in this release we have also made some changes to the account deactivation process. In case you ever have the need to deactivate your ObesityHelp account, you can access this function by clicking My OH at the top of any page on ObesityHelp, select "Settings" on the left, and under the "General" tab select "Manage". Instructions for deactivating your account can be found there.

Have a great Thanksgiving and look for more updates soon!

If you have any questions, comments or concerns about this release, please post them in this thread on the Main Message Board.

Hope you have luck with your BP getting better.  I have really low BP and Low Blood Sugar.   Back on Fludrocortisone to keep the BP up!   Passing out is no fun.
Take care.

Topic: RE: what has changed for you?
Saturday was my 3 month anniversary!  Down a total of 76 or so pounds this year.  What has changed for me?  My back doesn't hurt constantly!  I can move more freely.  My clothes hang on me (started at 22-24 and am in regular 16's) and I am almost into 14's but am waiting until Christmas to buy anymore clothes.  I'm happier about me.  I'm able to get up and get to work on time and not feel like death warmed over.  My fibromyalgia has calmed down since my back doesn't hurt constantly.  The younger people in my office treat me with more respect and I feel like I am part of the team (I am the oldest on my team and I was the heaviest too.)  

The only thing I'm having problems with right now is my blood pressure being too low.  That is going to be taken care of next week when I visit the doctor.  I have some terrible dizzy spells when I get up from a seating position or bend over and straighten up.  I tingle and feel as though I'll pass out.  I hate it and hope it goes away soon.  

Everything is better, even the world looks better as my eyes have gotten BETTER!  So I'm getting new glasses!
