Good Morning Cajun,

The moderators on this forum are without a doubt the worst at their jobs I've ever seen - going all the way back to my first forum membership in 1986.

SET SOME RULES, people.

No doctor bashing. No flame wars. Abide by The Golden Rule (you know, the one your mother taught you).

Anyone who violates the rules should be first warned, then put on probation, then banned after the third offense.

Oh, but wait - then the moderators would have to ban themselves - as they're the worst offenders!!

After scanning the sheer nastiness posted above - I'm outta here, and won't be back.

Those posts are from months ago, and the a couple of the members that were bickering back and forth, are no longer members of this forum.

The thread was dead, and then drug back up months later for whatever reason. The entire bickering was done and over with.

I agree the thread should of been closed, or deleted, but I guess some like to keep the drama going, or stir the pot once it simmers down.

I will say to you akindofmagick that it was bad here, but everyone is trying now to move on and the Mod's have been really great. Susan is usually right here to spank us if we get mouth over load butt syndrome, so don't go away, just work with all of us. This is a good place, we all just want to learn from each other, we don't care who or where anybody went. Some of us just want to learn about our surgery, some have more experience, some are new, and it dosn't matter where you are in your experience, we are all different, and we can learn from each other. There are a few chosen ones, but mostly we just over look them or report them. But please stay, if someone gives you grief, let Susan know, she will help.

I am a bit confused as to why people are becoming so angry over an argument that took place months ago. No need to rehash and/or get angry over something that took place in the past, has long since been resolved and people have moved on from. Please, before you post something in anger, check the date of the original post.

For clarification to new members and in defense of myself and Vegas Angel, Sheri (aka akindofmagick) please note that as I already stated, this post originally began months ago, before either myself or Vegas Angel were members of the admin/moderator team here at VST.

      April Surgery

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.
