Hello OH Friends and Family!

Whether you are 20-plus years as a post-op or a few weeks out, or considering surgery...your words matter! Please email [email protected] for brief guideline details.
Melissa, check with Dr. Roslin's office and see what PCPs they work with and you'll probably be able to find one that supports revisions. Roslin does DS and is in New York. The telephone number is 914-666-1200. Ask them what PCPs do they work with that are supportive of revisional surgery.
Good luck.

It's the time of year that we focus on being thankful. Since many of us in the OH Community are bariatric patients, we'd like to support other people and show our bariatric surgeons that we appreciate them by leaving a review for them! Maybe it's been a few years, and you'd like to say thank you to your surgeon for providing you a new start and let them know about your progress!
It's always free for anyone to join the OH Community. We value your privacy and don't sell or share your information. If you are already a member, all you need to do is log in to your profile, hit the pink plus sign, click on Write Review, and you're on your way!

We're excited to share some updates that we've been working on! Many of the updates we're implementing are to help address some of the issues that have been reported to us about mobile experience. Please check out the images below for a few site changes that will be heading your way very soon. We anticipate launching these updates Tuesday evening. If you run into any issues after we launch, please let us know by filling out this form.
+ QUICK ADD: We replaced the Omni Box Icons with a mobile friendly + Quick Add button. This change helps with better placement and access on mobile. You will now add new blog posts, upload photos, log your weight, add a goal and write a review through the pink + Quick Add button.
SEARCH BAR: We have removed the magnifying glass search icon in the site header and replaced it with a more prominent search bar. We've also expanded the search capabilities by combining Site Search, Find A Provider, and Find a Product all into one search bar.
NOTIFICATIONS: We have added some new functionality to the notifications area. With one click, you can now mark all of your notifications as read. With the settings icon, you can get to your notification settings more quickly. Individual notifications can be marked as read, unread or even deleted!
ADDITIONAL UPDATES:
- In your settings, we have added two handy links, one to your profile and one to manage your tickers.
- Ticker interface has been updated (functions the same).
- Navigation menus have also been updated.
As you check out OH, you'll see many features and tools that are created for our members as you embark on your WLS journey. Be sure and take the video tour of the site. You can access this by clicking your profile, * in upper right hand corner, replay tour.
We suggest you upload your avatar, fill in your surgery type, date and surgeon. If you have not done so, let us get to know you by adding some information on your profile "about me" section. Hang out on your surgery type forum to interact with those that had the surgery you are going to have. Great support and information.
As with all internet families we are made of different personalities, life, and bariatric experiences. ObesityHelp is not heavy handed with moderation. We look to our community to share, engage, debate and support each other. If someone violates the Terms of Services we do step in from time to time.
