Question:
Did you know....
posting on obesity help is open to all the public. If you go to google.com and press images, type in the persons name, your photo will soon appear along with obesity help.com under your name. Is there any way to get that removed?This site is personal I know but at the same time its private moments to share with people like all of us to share within each other. — Big_Sassy (posted on January 11, 2006)

And your point is??? You do know that you can post your own picture. I
don't understand your statement.

I was greatly shocked when I first signed up to find my name displayed
rather than allowing me to select a "screen name" and keep my
identity private. At the same time, there was no disclosure that this was
an unprotected forum where they allow the search engines to index and cache
copies of all pages here. ...... That is why I first changed my prior
"name" and then later reregistered under my "official
bandster name". ...... Sometimes we tend to forget that most people
online are relative newbies with no idea how your next door neighbor, your
sister in law, your co-workers, your school classmates, your boss or your
next date could google your name and then read everything you've ever
posted here. .... Thank you for pointing out that this site is fully open
to the search engines. - Theresa

My picture didn't show up. I have too many more important people with my
name, I guess.

If you find a way to remove them PLEASE let me know... I have recently run
into this problem. I have been dating a lot recently and a guy that I was
dating "googled" me and found out that I had WLS. Thankfully, he
didn't care but not everyone is so understanding...

You can have them delete your existing profile and start over using a
online name, just type in where it says first name big and last name sassy

Mine didn't show up... not sure why some do and some don't. Regardless, be
proud of your success... when you see an old pic just remember how far you
have come.

I also did not know that posting on obesity help was public. I found out
after someone had posted about it. I went into my profile and changed my
name. If you go under general account, you can change your fist and last
name to what ever you want it to be. I am not sure if it will ever be taken
off of Google, but I was told that eventually it would cycle it out.

I don't understand what the huge deal is. I like my photo on there and I
even have a profile page with my progress. And some of my photos are
embarrassing because of my weight but I want there to be a before and
after. Obesityhelp.com has been a wonderful program and I thought, everyone
was ok with their pictures being on here....for other people's
encouragement. I guess I do not have a problem with my idenitity.
Sorry, didn't mean to sound gruff, just don't understand.
