Another gross PB tale



Recommended Posts

... right as it happens! I'm eating lunch at my desk and having not just the usual simple slime but what I can only call a multiple PB, which is not anything you want for Valentine's Day. I ran to close my office door and made it just in time. I thought I was already the queen of badly timed slime (see earlier posts on pulling over on eight-lane interstates), but this is a new low. Culprit? Ravioli. I took small, well-chewed bites, I swear!

Oops, gotta grab that mug again. . .

Yuck. My condolences.

I've had to upchuck and spit slime into my wastebasket a time or two, and I'm in a cube with no door to shut...

;)

Talk about gross...

All it takes is ANY type of real potato for me and pb guaranteed, maybe not the next bite, but very soon to follow. Even mashed potatoes, unless they're flaked artificial taters, damn this is a smart band.

I have tried soo many times to fool it, you know a tiny bite of mashed potatoes (Country Crock) followed quickly by beef and gravy, not to be fooled, then like Zoe said, multi pb's....ERRR.

Hope you're feeling better Zoe.

I'm fine now, thanks. And grateful that I'm not in a cube, for so many reasons! I hope the thread's heading is blatant enough to scare the weak of stomach away from reading this stuff. . . maybe I should start a poll on worst PB experiences.

I nearly lost it IN my son's tae kwon do class... I jumped up and ran outside, they thought I was a lunatic... made it just to the side of my car before I made my own version of ripe plums from a cannon... the skins got me, and brought up stuff I'd eaten when I was 5 I think...

I can't do any type of potato's or Pasta, not even a bite, but I can do pretty good size amounts of rice... how weird is that?

Damn I miss my PB's ;)

I would give anything to PB again...as much as I hated them when I was having one, I would give anything to have them back ;)

I miss my band!

Aww.. are you thinking of getting another band, La Madam?

I saw a study online that showed that patients that were rebanded after erosion did not re-erode.. and that was four years after they were rebanded!

The Pb got me last night on the way home from my second job. Unfortunately I was in my husband's van instead of my truck. I'm better prepared in my own vehicle, I have a little trash container with bags... Oops! His poor coffee mug! I washed it when I got home, I promise!

I don't even have a band but shudder at the memories of bad PBs. Zoe, you should carry barf bags in your lunch pail! OMG, I'm gonna make a million because I just thought of a new invention... PB Pouches. Little disposable purse size PB bags with twisties. Chaching, I'm rich!

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
