Hi there! When you go to where you loaded your pic...look for where it says something about an avatar...that's what will show up as your pic when you send messages....
I just copied pics of stuff I like onto my pujter, upload them into an album on this site and then where you go to change the colors and what not....upload an image from that file...Voila!

ok you seem really good at this. i have a pic on my profile but when i leave messages it will not show up. Any idea why? also how did you get a back ground on your page (which is very pretty)

Hey there! I'm new here too. I hope you get approved soon! I am approved and everything, I have my first surgeon appointment tomorrow morning so wish me luck on that. I'm super nervous! I'm totally scared even to just see the surgeon, lol.
I think it's natural to be nervous and scared and excited all at the same time...if you're not....uh.......lol
