I always liked women, had several crushes in fact...but always had male partners. Spent most of my adult life wondering too and wasted a lot of time being depressed about "wow, this is it, I'm married to a man & I will never get to experience having a female partner." Things didn't turn out well with my kids dad and after we broke it off, I dated women. I have been in a same sex relationship for almost 5 years now. Do I find people from the opposite sex attractive? Sure. Do I consider myself bi? Not really. My attraction doesn't really cross over to my sexual desire. I am attracted to women and my desires are to be with women. I had a really hard time in the beginning when I first "came out" to label myself. I don't care now because I am sure of who I am. People won't always understand, and that is ok. It is not your job to make everyone around you happy. I had to come to terms with that quickly because I received a lot of backlash from people around me.
My point is, if you have a desire, don't waste your time wondering. I didn't come out until I was 37. I feel like wasted so much time. I had the opportunity to have children and I love and cherish them deeply but I also spent most of their childhood depressed and unhappy. If you experiment and decide it's not for you, then at least you know!

I haven't logged into BariatricPal in a few weeks and it's funny that this should be on the top of the list for current topics. I'm 5 days postop and I am really wishing I had some help with this pain as well. The Zofran makes me throw up and the Tylenol codine is hit or miss at this point. This post has convinced me to talk to my cousin about what my best route would be. I'm thinking a vape also bc I hate pipe smoking and I don't have anywhere private to smoke anyway atm. I have the sublingual tincture but I don't feel like it's ever helped much. I'm gonna try it right now to see if things have changed since surgery. I only partake in edibles when I can't handle the pain of XYZ. That time is now. Lol. I have the best candies too .

Girl I had surgery on 12/21/16. The pain meds my DR prescribed gave me to much nausea so I stopped taking it because I couldn't keep anything down. A week later I started smoking again and it help with the pain and it made me a much nicer person I don't get the munchies, but I didn't get the munchies before the surgery either. Good luck!

I understand you're upset. I would be furious. This isn't the end though. You are still here, so unless today is your last day on earth, don't give up! You are worthy of this and you are worthy of doing this for yourself. You will get your surgery, dust yourself off and keep going, because you are definitely worth it.

Omg I meet with my surgeon on Thursday for my preop appointment!! I am nervous yet excited. It just so happens they scheduled me with the same surgeon my next door neighbor had her surgery with. She went in for her preop and he liked what her charts said and how much weight she had lost and scheduled her for surgery the very next day! What!!! Although I wouldn't mind the same quickness, I am hoping for the week right after Christmas. Whatever he has, I will take it!!

So happy for you! Yet nervous as well. Good luck on your surgery today. You will certainly be in my prayers. Please keep us updated on your progress!

No I got added to my husbands insurance so with a secondary insurance I won't have to pay anything out of pocket before surgery.

Wow! You guys are having surgery the same day. Congrats to you both!
Krystal did something change with your payment? I was told from Kaiser my deductible and out of pocket max in 2017 would now apply so if it holds true the most I will have to pay is $1500. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Do you have your surgery date yet?

Yes Dec 29th at 11am :-)

Yes! And those who have a HSA can benefit as well!

I am with Kaiser to in Denver Colorado and I meet up with the surgeon on Tuesday at 11am. Just finished my six weeks class last Tuesday and they called me back on that Thursday. I am excited about it and wonder what all we are going to talk about when I get there. I am ready to start the liver strinking diet I have already been in the gym working out

@@taxudown looking good. Keep up the great work

Yeah. I don't see much change in myself - but pictures don't lie. 8 weeks yesterday.

Am I the only one on the shot?! I'm not having any side effects from it that I can tell, except I do have a light discharge kinda period when it gets close to time for me to get another shot. Other then that It seems to be working, although I don't know how well its protecting me - since I uh haven't had sex since before my surgery cause I kinda cut off my um boytoy - he was getting too possessive and not willing to understand why I was living with a male roommate, and kept complaining for days that I didn't need the surgery, I could do it on my own.
I had another 'friend' but I kinda been ignoring him too cause I'm just not feeling it since surgery either.

This is why I'm terrified of Mirena! It's hit or miss. So sorry you had a bad experience.

Calender method and condoms.
Anything hormonal doesn't work well for me.

That is interesting . If your full total with St Joe is only 6850 and mine Is $14k it doesn't make sense why they only require $2k from me but full amount from you. Just weird. Aetna does treat as medically necessary. I wish I could purchase both insurances lol. If your husband adds you it likely will not be an issue for St. Joe. They really don't care who pays and will be more lenient. Another thing is if you don't have a FSA already you could do it for $2500 and the full amount is available to use at the beginning of the year . You can even schedule your surgery at the end of Jan and won't have to wait until tax time. I am using mine in the same way. Even the amount I have left this year I will be able to combine with next years amount towards my expenses if I am scheduled for Jan. That is just an idea to consider.
