Calling Vegasangel....

We weren't kidding and you're not a perfect stranger. It's hotter than hades here, so bring cool clothes - lightweight - maybe one nice outfit if we're able to get into a show ... we'll figure out everything else once you're here --

I thought bearded's signature basically indicated clothes were optional? :ohmy:

Well outside of the house they aren't! We would hate to have Daisy arrested in LV for indecent exposure! Besides, as hot as it is, things might burn~:ohmy:

Ohhhh, Daisy, I hope you aren't too fair skinned. Let us know if things get out of hand and we all need to kick in some bail money.

I am one that hides from the sun. I have been sunburned too many times and have finally learned my lesson.

Hey I wonder if we can sneak into one of the hotels and lay by their pool, or does bearded and Vegas have their own pool?

Never even considered bringing a swim suit.

I too am very fair skinned so don't spend too much time out in the sun. Bearded, on the other hand, loves the heat and the sun ... we do have a community pool so bring a swimsuit just to be safe ... also have a good friend nearby who has a pool in her backyard ... she doesn't know we've had the VST so we'd have to be careful what we say if we go over there. The hotels require a room key to get to their pools so we'd have to spend one night in the hotel to be able to do that - which is always an option too!

I have little nylon shorts that I wear with a

swim suit. That's the best I can do.

My fat rolls around my middle don't look so bad standing up, but sitting down is another

story. I always wonder how much of it is

just skin. I will never know.

Daisy - quit worrying - bring what you want, wear what you want -- we're not going to criticize you - and remember we just started this journey and you're 10 from goal ... so if you want to compare rolls of fat, I'm pretty certain I will win ... just come with the attitude that you're going to have a GREAT TIME and we're going to get some great pictures!

You will if you go in the Water. Your excess skin will just FLOAT and it will be very obvious what is skin and what is not.

Oh my, what a visual.

One of my sayings is: If you look, there is always something to be thankful for no matter what the situation. Well in this visual it would be that someone invented swimming suits to keep things where they belong and not let things float.

Can't you just see a public pool pic of all us WLS winners. Oh my. Love 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.
