better privacy ....

[Grace]

Hello -
We post some pretty private stuff on this site and I only now just realized everything can be seen by searching google or other search engines.
It's time to make this a members only club with our posts available only to those who sign up.
Anyone could search "gastric sleeve" and find the site, where you could still have the ads for the docs, but they'd have to be members to see the posts.
I'm suddenly extremely uncomfortable about being here.
Any chance you will be willing to protect our privacy a bit more?
thank you

As long as its free to sign up, you are going to have almost as many problems. I avoid using my photos, using my professionally recognized name, and stick to responses/posts that I would not be upset if someone overheard me speaking about in a public place. If you knew me in real life you would know its completely out of character to discuss my personal life on things like this so trying to find a happy medium because this is a really great group of people who are going through the same life changing event I am preparing for. I never really intended to enjoy this enough to post, I came to lurk. Typically these places hold my attention for about a day. The field I am in - this is so against the norm for me that honestly people would never guess it was me to begin with LOL...

If I choose to leave is there a way to delete all my posts?

I hear you. I'm usually so overcautious, I just slipped up this time.
