I was going through my email a little while ago and there it was... Time to sell Girl Scout Cookies again.

I am not a sweets person except white wedding cake, Peanut Butter fudge and girl scout cookies. I am on day 5 post op and would kill to chew on anything. Now the thought of girl scout cookies. Ugh

At least they will not be in my house to split up until the end of next month.

I just saw this and I have two daugthers that will be selling them soon. Yikes! I am determined to not eat them this time! They are always a downfall for me, especially the chocolate and Peanut Butter ones.

This post doesn't belong in this thread......

I didn't know there was a thread police. If you don't have anything nice or constructive to say then keep it to yourself.

First, I didn't say anything "un-nice", Second, it WAS constructive, it was informing you your post was in the wrong spot.....this thread is "Post Op Questions and Answers".

And the most important thing, it's frustrating to open a post thinking it will have something to do with what it says and it has nothing at all to do with that. You were griping about Girl Scout Cookies for crying out loud...there is a thread for that, please post accordingly. Don't be so touchy, I was just trying to help.

In case you haven't noticed, this is what we do here. I am not touchy, you are just rude. When you are going through a liquid diet and the head hunger is driving you insane and you try to use humor to get through it, then you can talk to me.

Again, I just kindly ask that you post your posts in the appropriate spot. Some things you have to offer are very valuable, some things are not. I'd like to stick to reading the things that are valuable to me and when you post in the wrong spot it is void of importance. And, you forget, I will be going through the same things you are, but I will still post in the appropriate spot. Take a deep breath, relax.

I will post where ever I feel like posting. This board is for support what ever type of support we need. If you feel that something is invaluable to you then move on like the rest of us do. I do not need you to interject your unnecessary comments. Your opinion Is your opinion, keep it to yourself when it comes to my post.

First off the mention of Girl Scout Cookies immediately pops up the mental picture of the Peanut Butter patties. OMG those things are little slices of heaven lol.

Secondly we all make mistakes where we post stuff. I have a habit of just going down new topics and reading the mens room topics and answering even though by the time I figure out I am in the men's room and they probably really want their fellow sleeve bro's opinions and not mine I have already piped in. No need to get so worked up over it. Give some grace.

Does this board not have moderators? Lisabug, you *did* post in the wrong section (Post-op Q&A... where's your question?), and your responses are rude and self-centered (I'll post wherever I want, nevermind the rules!).

You need to learn some message board etiquette. 'The forum' doesn't revolve around you.

Thank you, Bumble...I wasn't trying to be rude, but BOY did I get a spanking for posting what I posted!! I thought the rules of the board state that you post where your topic belongs? I understand making a mistake and maybe saying "Oh, you're right, I'm sorry" but WOW, didn't expect that. It is a board for everybody to learn from, not one person to make up her own rules and think it is her own personal board. I would like to learn from you Lisabug, and help you when you need it, but please, know the etiquette and be a nicer forum member.

You know, it's only appropriate to 'point out' lisabug's ill-placed post if she is a constant abuser of the post-op forum. But no need to jump on anyone's back for a slight error. Is there no room for leniency?

You're being a bully. It might behoove you to return to just 'reading posts' rather than participating if this is the attitude you bring to the community.

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
