It's okay kbush no one took it as the site wasn't good, or not for you, or not as good etc... This site has thousands of people and we get instant feedback and we need that because we r healing and comparing our symptoms. This site is easy to click on and read. The fb I am part of I just see later on me checking in on the site because in regular daily life I check fb regularly as I have that app as well. I will still keep this app for sure. I love it and all the ladies on here. I'm so glad ur doin well kbush I was worried about your trip. You seem to be a day ahead of me with healing symptoms!

Hope everyone's doing better! I sure am. Not too much pain this morning at all, some back pain (I'm guessing from gas pain) but that's pretty much it! It's getting easier and easier to get out of bed without pain. I'm still hungry, but I'm having Tomato Soup and cream of chicken which is definitely more filling than broth.< /p>

Sprinkle I had surgery on Wed 07/10! I haven't driven yet but yesterday I was out for 3-4 hours shopping and running errands with my mom and had no problems. I was only a little sore when I got home, and just iced my incisions a little and didn't even need the pain meds. I have been taking them but I think I'm going to go without today and see how it is! And yes I am young lol I'm 22

Oh okay rmbk I'm glad we areose in age. I may walk around bay village today which is a small shopping areas at night time. It's on the Island so it will be nice and cool at night. I still am taking my pain meds they help me walk and move because I still have gas. Those of you that are passed all that I'm so jealous but my gas is 1000 times better than it was. I also haven't iced my incisions. I don't know if they are sore I refuse to touch them. And I'm afraid the coldness will irritate then. I just hate touching boo boos if they don't hurt.

I'm eating baby food for Breakfast. I don't see why babies like this....it's way sweet and I'm not a fan of sweet puddings and stuff. Only 10 more days of this

I need to get my day started....leaving for vacation tomorrow, which should be interesting for my preop diet. I'm not on liquids though, so I guess it will be easier than it would for most. Thankful. I haven't eaten today because I think I had too much Protein yesterday and woke up still feeling full. NEVER thought I would say that as a person who is really particular about meat. Not a vegetarian, but just very picky about quality. I used to overeat or eat all the wrong foods, so I guess I've never realized the true feeling protein can give when eating healthy!

When can we swim?

When I asked my doctor this question just before my surgery, he said 2 weeks post-op, which is when I am seeing him again (tomorrow). I have the impression that he reevaluates everything at that appointment to make sure all is well & if it is he will give me the clearance to do more strenuous exercise (biking, swimming, etc.).

      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!
