Big Booby Mamogram



Recommended Posts

Yesterday I had my yearly mamogram. I'm waiting in the "Sunflower" waiting room after I disrobed, washed away my deoderant and donned one of those ugly blue robes.

In walks a 6' tall, skinny, Amazon goddess and says, "hi I'm Chris and I'll be doing your test today". I smiled swallowed hard and followed her into the exam room. She reviewed all my pertenent information and then asked me..."are you still about 220 lbs?" I was going to update her on the 7 lbs I had gained since last year, but didn't.

So after she lifts my boobie onto the machine and massages it into the exact spot she wants it, I have to grab this bar, lean this way, lift this elbow, pull my shoulder back, try to move my hips back so my tummy doesn't get squished, tilt this way, now (with my boob squished to death) I have to take a few steps toward her and lean the opposite way :svengo:! If I had lost my balance and fell, my boobie would have been left in the machine and I would of been laying on the floor!! :thumbup:

Well, after all this I got to wondering what it will be like next year when I go for my 'Boob Squeeze" after I've lost a ton of weight! I'm hoping Chris the beautiful Amazon woman won't even ask me if I still weigh around 220 lbs! :thumbup1:

Thanks for the chuckle this morning. . . I haven't had to have a mammogram yet. My mom has the band and lost 75lbs. She said her mammograms are much easier now. While they aren't pleasant, she said it's easier to manipulate her body into the awkward position for the boob squeeze.

:w00t::w00t:how i can relate to that story! I used to have such problems with the booby squisher thingy. . . I used to be a 58FFF and after i had my breast reduction (14 lbs off each boob!) I felt so normal. . . then after i had my wls and have lost a gob of weight off to the booby squisher i went! Now they have problems getting the boob into the squisher, i am the 6 foot amazon godess and most of my techs are these tiny short can't reach nothing women. . .so there i am contorting into all sort of shapes! It's so funny sometimes. . . but boy am i ever glad i chopped those puppies off . . . i still wear a 40D but like my daughter says "mom you don't own boobs!" Silly girl!

      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.
