Hello All - New to this board - How to I create a journal?

Hello Michigan Losers: My name is Julie, and I am new to this board. I have been lurking for this past several weeks admiring the FANTASTIC profiles and photographs of everybody. I really appreciate the effort, candor and detail that so many of you have put into your profiles. It's given me the chance to read the good, the bad and the ugly. Today is the first day of my new life. I am going to my first orientation at Michigan Medical PC, in Grand Rapids. I have already spoken to my insurance company (MESSA) and they gave me the go-ahead. I'd heard that MESSA was the Cadillac of insurance, and boy, is that true. My question is, how do I create a journal? I know that I made a profile, and I don't even know how I did that! Any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated. Julie

Welcome Julie! First of all, congratulations on making the decision to make your life better! To start a journal...well, as you said, by signing up it created your basic profile. Now to fill it, you go to the top of the page and click the tab "my homepage". It will take you to a login page...log in whatever you chose as your username and password. Your profile will pop up. Go to "General Info" and that's where you start writing your journal. There are lots of things to input...just search around alittle. Have fun! Theresa

Hi Julie!! I'm newer to OH as well, lurking here and there!! I had my first consult today with a surgeon and so the journey begins! Welcome!

Hi Julie, I'm Pam Rhodes! I had surgery 4/12/2005 and have lost 110 lbs +. I had Dr. Baker and I have a whole new life! It's been a blessing for me. I wish you all the success in the world. MMPC is a wonderful place with great surgeon's. Love, Pam
