Just a fast check in...all I can say is happiness is getting to sleep uninterrupted, lying down for the entire night.

My band is still very tight...I've had to be careful even with liquids so far. But definitely I am feeling better.

I hope all had a great day, and another one tomorrow...

Happy Birthday Nicole, hope your day is extra special!

My band has also been fickle of late and feeling a little tight.

Carole, glad to hear you had a good night.

These bands are crazy, tight one minute and loose the next. Sometimes I am tight all day and start thinking maybe I'm too tight and then the next day I can eat steak just fine. Wish my fills were with fluro.

I just got my bill from last visit to Dr. $383. Office consult and $150. Gastric Band Adj., wicked. Lucky I only have to pay a $35 co pay, which I paid and now their sending me a bill for $35. I thought computers were suppose to keep things straight.lol

Di, I'm so sorry about your ring. I'm putting out a special prayer for it to be found. I've always had the jeweler put ring guards on all my rings. They're really cheap. That's another thing that's tight in the morning, my rings. After I'm up for a while they become loose as a goose.. Lord, Lord Please let Di find her daddys ring!

I have my dads pocket knife and it means the world to me. He was an auto mechanic and when we would visit, he always got out his knife and cleaned the oil from under his finger nails. LOL I can still remember the smell of my dad, motor oil. When he died I not only lost the most honorable person I know, but the best mechanic any where.

Carole, that's where I get my mechanical capabilities. LOL

I just noticed, that I cleaned my room for the kids so well, I can't find my list of our info. It's always been on my desk and now that its clean, I can't find it. Sure hope I can find it on my computer somewhere.....

I got a great deal accomplished on my quilt today. Picture will be coming shortly.

Here's a picture of Jack & Delaney. Every Wednesday night Jack & Paula pick up a pizza and go to the jetty's for dinner. They caught the kids in the right light.post-214163-13813135151505_thumb.jpg post-207529-13813135152249_thumb.jpg

Well good morning friends, quick flyby! I am off today and tomorrow, thank you jesus!

Kids are still here and I wanted to spend a few days enjoying my grand children. Mom has an eye appointment today so the afternoon is shot but I will make the most of the day. She has been a little better the last few days, not sure if she is setteling in or just playing games.

CT of head for mom was negative, not a surprise. Necessary expense for what I already knew. She definately needs her meds tweaked, or someone needs to give me some.

Band still tight here, I ate well yesterday but I feel like I had an adjustment. I can eat about 2/3 cup at a time, so it seems like all I do is eat all day long.

Teri, I will look at your diary sheets today and see if I can suggest anything.

Carole I can't wait for next wednesday, still so excited about meeting you and Teri. B)

I have to get caugt up on everyone, sorry I have been missing but life has just been so dang busy and I stay so tired.

Gotta run, have to get to mom's before sitter leaves and I need a coffee! lol

Good Morning...

Diane, I certainly hope that your father's ring will be found...it does seem that that all of us have had some issues of rings too loose. Definitely I would consider resizing to have them fit again. Take a minute at a time if necessary. Your days off should be a nice change of pace. Enjoy them!

Janet...let me know if you need any contact information from me. Ironically, our information sheets are one of the items I actually know where it is, along with my address book. I can't find just about anything else, but that info I have! See how important you are all?

Terri, and Diane, definitely looking forward to meeting you next week!

      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!
