Oh, and Misfortune, I'm sorry to have diverted from the original post but I have a hard time not commenting when I read or hear derogatory personal statements made by an individual about others...especially when that individual makes such a strong statement against others making the same type comments. I'll not reply any longer, because I feel like I've made my point. And I'm still having a giggle or two....

Actually Aimee..thefirst part of yourpost--the part withmy quotations-is theONLY part that made any sense in jibberish..now go back and get your crayons and coloring book and try again....

jboy, you're just being rude. Don't assume you have the corner on brain cells because of your profession.

Oh, and the space bar is the long bar below the lowest row of keys, in case you couldn't find it.

Wow really I come here to learn wannabelean you posted that at 1:11am and by 2 am you have a different attitude toward her problem!!!! We people come here to learn about the band but from the different tones to your posts someone is lying and it is unfair for those of us loooking for the truth!!!!!! And then you said something about people posting in the middle of the night?????? Unbelieveable

That is why these boards cannot be taken seriously when researching a doctor!!!!

I am not saying misfortune is not telling the truth but wow wannabe you have just shot holes in her boat big time!!!!

What to believe what to believe??????????

Cant this be a place for us to do research without so much BS????????:angry

Turn off your conspiracy theory warning bells. There's nothing weird going on here.

hootiebelle, wannabelean for some reason assumed I was Misfortune; I know not why. But she posted personal information about me, my family, my business, my location, etc. And because of that, I asked her to delete/edit her post. She did, but now you've reposted it. Would you please edit yours too? I'd really appreciate it. There's nothing weird going on here except that a member jumped to a very odd and wholly incorrect conclusion that I, a poster/responder in a random thread, was the author of that thread.

Thank you, hootiebelle.

For the record, for anyone else who take a flying leap to an unfounded conclusion, I am gadgetlady, not Misfortune. I was banded in the US in February of 2005. I don't know Misfortune and I have no vested interest in her story (although I do believe her).

wannabelean and I PM'd many times around our surgery date and because of those PM's we got to know each other. She had some personal information about me that she posted to this thread, along with a wild accusation that I was the same person as Misfortune. I asked her to delete her post, but of course neither of us could figure out how to do that. So she edited it and her apology to me, and I edited my post asking her to delete the post.

Then hootiebelle reposted the original post which she had received via email. I asked her to edit hers (at least edit out my personal info) as well, which she did.

There are no "holes in Misfortune's boat" due to this random, unfounded, incomprehensible theory about me.

Misfortune, I am truly sorry about your experiences and I apologize that what's going on here has detracted from your original posts.

CAN THIS PLEASE STOP NOW??? No more conspiracy theorists! Sheesh! Talk about pack mentality . . .

Well, jboy, for the record, what I had to hide is obviously available to all now. What I have to hide is: I run a gondola business, I live in Orange County, and my father is a doctor. Not that this isn't information you could have gleaned from reading all of my posts throughout the board, but it was quite weird to have them all posted in one place. And the reason it was weird is . . .

drum roll please . . .

I don't know who the hell YOU are and I didn't want to have that information out there for YOU to see. I don't like you, I don't trust you, and I don't know whether or not you're vindictive. So there you go!

Now stop the MUD!

For the record, this is the PM I sent to wannabelean asking her to delete her post:

Please delete your post

I responded to your post confusing me and Misfortune, but I would like you to delete or edit it. I'm sure someone could get all of that information about me (gondola business, father is a doctor, etc.) by looking through all of my postings, but to have it all in one place makes me a little nervous. jboy seems vindictive and I just don't want him to . . . I don't know. It just feels weird. Would you please delete your post?

Also, I don't know where you got the impression that Misfortune and I are the same person. But we're not. I have no idea who she is and whether her story is true or not.

Thank you.

      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.
