Pb's And Parties



Recommended Posts

Argh! Went to a BBQ today and got stuck. The host was talking to me while I had a PB situation going on! What are some of your most embarrassing LB situations?

It has been my experience that eating out is difficult............ Because I tend to be more social I am talking and eating and I just forget to chew enough or swallow to big a piece. And for some reason I just can it get it through my brain that I can not Eat that roll they always bring warm and in a basket..... So I have become familiar with every bathroom in town ... my husband and friends are just use to it . They see me stopping , swallowing and leaving the table for the bathroom. I don't make a scene I go do what I have to do and come back a little red in the face and watering eyes sit down and go on.

I always hope that there is no one in the handicap bathroom since in Florida they have sinks and I can do what I need to do in there . One time after throwing up in one I came out to see a lady in a wheel chair glaring at me........ Note .....I always leave the bathroom cleaned up.

I was at my church and there was an anniversary party for our priest. I thought hat I could eat a small piece of beef on a small bun. It came up, and up and up. My son had to drive me home, and after while, I had no where to spit. We had to leave because there were so many people that I could not make my way to the restroom. It was not a pretty site, thank God my son is now a lapbander and is now well aware that when it comes, it comes!!!

I thought PB was a productive burp, but this does not sound like a burp, or maybe that's what the "productive" part means, can someone shed some light on what PB is? :)

Yes, that is what productive burp is! When you experience it, you will know! It is basically an action that you can't stop.

Thanks, that sounds kind of scary, but I'll have to learn to live with it.

      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.
