:( Today my Dr called me to tell me they have to move my surgery AGAIN! It started at Journey lite then to Jewish hospital then back to Journey lite and today they called to say back to Jewish Hospital!!! So now the date is August 2nd and not the first. Seems so easy but it change who is keeping my daughter overnight, my time off work, my registration at the place i thought i was having surgery, the FMLA paperwork ...it's so annoying to have this happen again. I know it's only a day but it's been a pain in paperowrk for me. It had better not happen again!!!

You are not alone. My surgery has been moved from July 18th to Aug. 1 to Aug. 8th. So, I understand how you feel. But you are so close to the finish line...stay strong and you will have your new tummy and life soon.

good luck with everything n i hope they dont change the date anymore, i know how hard all the preparation and paperwork can be because i also have a child and a job, hang in there though u dont know exactly what could have happened had u had it on the initial surgery date, everything happens for a reason. my process for the surgery took a little over a year, i even have up and thought they would never call me and then one day out of the blue i got a call and my surgery was sheduled 2 weeks after that day and they changed the time like 3 times so i was on liquids for 2 days feeling faint weak u name it, anyhow now im almost 70lbs weight loss with 5 months after surgery and im so happy that it worked out!! good luck again.

      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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
