I don't understand the OH website!!

also i can't even upload a profile pic. i can't figure out how to make it small enough. i don't know how to change the pixels or whatever it is. any suggestions?

Open a picture, then find a tab for resizing it.  I usually go by percentage.  Reduce the size down to 90%, save as, then try to upload it, if it is still too big, then reduce the size again just a little at a time.  It can be time consuming, but you will eventually get the hang of it.

thanks Sarahl! wow, I've been trying to figure that out for a couple weeks now.  how are you feeling? i'm supposed to hear from the nutritionist today and get started on my pre-op diet. i'm so ready for this!!!!!

i am feeling really good, i have lots of energy lately.  So i did my spring cleaning this past weekend.  I haven't had the ambition to do anything prior to surgery because i have been so tired and wore out with working 50+ hours a week.  i actually look forward to coming home and doing something outside instead of plopping down in front of the tv and napping.  i hope all goes well with you and good luck!

wow, that's great! i can't wait until i get some of that energy. i'm so ready to get this surgery. i have other medical conditions that can't be fixed until i lose weight and i can't exercise at all. just being on my feet for 5-10 min is excruciatingly painful. i'm ready to start the climb out of this pit i'm in. by the way, how do i put my "signature" on so my weight ticker thing will show? i tried to follow what the website said but i can't find it. what kind of diet are you on right now? thanks!!!

how far are you "in the process" of getting to surgery? have you had any problems with your insurance? do you have family that you live with who's going to be going through all this with you?

I'm getting all of my referrals  i have all but one  so hopefully i will get it on monday. Not sure on how long it going to take for my insurance to approve it . My doctor stated it could take up to  3 weeks for them to approve it  so  hopefully my doc can get the ball rolling.Yes i do have family and friends  will be their  to help me .How about u?

I cant figure this site out either. thats why I dont get on here much. I cant for the life of me get a picture to load. lol

I think we both need a dose of patience.  I am new here and find the learning curve to use this site is very steep.  Last night I got so frustrated I had to just shut down and walk away.  Just be patient and keep clicking and I'm sure we will both find the support we are looking for.

BTW, I had sleeve (VGS) surgery last Monday, May 13.  I'm still very excited about my decision and my future. If I can share any of my limited experience with you just ask away.  I am a nurse practitioner (internal medicine) so perhaps I have a slightly different perspective than some others do.

Hi! 
I had vsg surgery on May 16.  So happy with this decision! 
If you are still wondering how to navigate this site and are trying to find more information on vsg from others in the same boat as us go to the top of the page. On the blue bar fourth tab in is forums.  A pop up with a list of all the different forums will come up. At the bottom of the list is Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy. The forum has hundreds of pages of questions, answers, recipes everything from people going through everything we are. 

I hope this helped!
