Getting This Thing Out Of Me!!!



Recommended Posts

youre a ******* ***** and have no compassion for the ones it doesnt work for. you know NOTHING about my life and the **** i have gone through. i DO want success but i cant DO IT. ive been dieting since i was 10! i cant hang on long enough to get the damn thing to work! so think before you attack or youll be attacked back.

you had to lose 90 lbs. BIG DEAL. i have to lose 166. i posted this for sympathy from the people who want it the f**k out of them (refer to the post about having it out hooray). i dont care if i get deleted for my language because i am done dealing with people who constantly blame me for being stubborn. it is so much more then that. this piece of plastic is making my life hell. if you had read what i said i should have figured the mental/emotional stuff out first but didnt. you dont know why i got it done. i was pressured by more then one person. i tried to make everyone happy. because i like making people happy. i thought it would help. well look where i am now!!!

and btw i dont care if you ******* agree with me or not. i wasnt talking to YOU.

im DONE.

You sound just like a girl who was on here a few weeks ago. Did your grandma make you get the band?

AJ ,I <3 u !!!!!

I am sorry you are so angry and hurt, I responded to your post with an opinion. I said it sounds like you wanted to blame, I didn't accuse you of blaming. I do have compassion and I fully understand the doing things to make others happy. That's me too.

I truely hope you are able to get your band removed and put all this behind you. Please know that all I want is for you to find the happiness you deserve.

i agree with this post

and another thing. i dont know why anyone that has had success with the lapband would come into the lapband removal forum and preach how good they are and how shitty i am for not following the rules. go back to your own side.

i dont think your shitty

i think you are frustrated and upset

and i am sorry about that

but via another one of your posts, the vast majority of the

people here will help you no matter what and i dont think (we are rude)

hope you get your wish and that damn thing is removed.

because i was told FROM MY SURGEON that i had 6 months to a year to decide on taking it out, fixing it or replacing it. if this is whats going to happen when i dont follow the rules, then take it out because i cant keep spending this kind of money to be miserable.

Your surgeon threatening you with band removal does not sound like an appropriate response to your situation. It sounds like he's playing head games with you. I suggest that you get a 2nd opinion from another bariatric surgeon.

I got my band removed last November and had gastric bypass this past march. I've lost 80 pounds since then. Best decision ever!

      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.

      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
