OMG ! ! ! He's gonna be here in less than 6 hours.

He just called from Baltimore, and said half the team was offered to come home tonight instead of having an overnight layover ! ! ! He told them " put me on that plane, I'm ready to see my family." wubby.gifwubby.gifwubby.gif

I am officially freaking the hell out. Everything on the list is done with the exception of shaving, and that will be done here in a little bit.

I am so elated, and can't believe he will be home so soon. I just can't wait to see him again. Caysen yelled when I told him, and couldn't contain himself.

It's practically over. As soon as I am back in his arms, it will all be a distant memory. . .

Thank you all so very much for all of your support, prayers, well wishes, and love that y'all have given me over the last few months ! ! !

I may not be around for a couple of days, but I'll update as soon as I can with pictures.

Homecoming was amazing. He was walking towards the right side of the exit with a group of other guys. We were standing to the left, and I walked up closer to them, he looked right at me, and looked away. I stomped my feet, and he did a double take, and his mouth dropped. He ran to me, scooped me in his arms, and said " you look so amazing ". It was purely magical. Unfortunately, the airport was dimly lit, and none of the pictures came out worth a damn.

We embraced for what seemed like forever, and then Caysen moved in for his moment. It was precious, but I didn't cry. The higher ups showed up, and checked in their weapons and we headed home. Once we were in the truck, Caysen said the most tear jerking thing, he said " you know what Dad, I never knew it could feel so good to see someone." I almost cried again, but I felt so full of joy that I couldn't cry.

We got home unloaded everything. He played with the dog, then it was "us" time. It was absolutely amazing. We literally fell right back into place with everything. It all felt amazing, emotionally and physically. He has bulked up, but I love it. He was so happy with my results, and he couldn't believe how I looked.

He had to report in this afternoon at 1pm to turn in the issued gear, and hopefully he won't be gone long. We're cooking out on the grill tonight, and going to have a great time. He is so happy to finally be home. Life is somewhat back to normal. I never thought I would happy to see uniforms laying around again. But, it's such a huge relief.

      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.
