Recommended Posts

When I can't eat, I write.

I'm exactly one week out from my surgery and on day 2 of my pre-op diet and I've started a blog.

Feel free to follow the link in my siggie if you want to follow. There are only two posts, but it's something.

Anyone else blogging about this rollercoaster we're on?

I thought about blogging, but not sure I could keep up with it. I enjoyed your blog. I will definitely keep reading yours. It's nice to know someone else is going through what I'm going through. You're about a week ahead of me so now I can see what I have to look forward too.

Keep blogging! I'm reading!

I've never blogged in the past, but after reading several amazing WLS stories, I've decided to jump on the band wagon. I'm mostly doing it for myself, so that I can have a diary of this journey and because I think it will help keep me on track.

I'm getting my band on June 28th! I'm so ready.

I created one too, but I might end up moving off Blogger if I can't figure out how to customize it more.

I'm used to running Wordpress blogs, and can add/remove my own elements with ease on those. Blogger is easy as far as posting goes, but it's all XML, which is not something I know how to tweak. :smile:

So, we'll see how it goes. I'd prefer not to host this one myself if I can get away with it. heh

Fed up with being overfed

I blog as well. I started it so people who are banded in Korea could see life through another bandster but then it turned into reading the experience of a bandster who has had erosion, Lipo, balloon etc.

There are many different things and challenges that can happen to bandsters that might be interesting for you guys to read.

Since then I have also basically turned into the foreign bandster rep for my doc as people ask me about him all the time.

The topics that last few months werent mostly about banding because I lost my band but I am getting banded again soon so it could be good to read about someone being banded twice.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
