Good luck Kimmie! I had surgery at Bailey this past Thursday. Everyone with that group is fantastic. All the office staff' date=' doctors, nurses, and Dr. Katsis and great. There would probably be some things they should work on. But, all in all, it was a good experience. If you can call any surgery a good experience. Lol......If you need to know something just ask. I will try to answer. Again, congrats!![/quote']

I will be having surgery at baileys on March 6th. I'm excited and nervous all at once. Wish it would just hurry and get here. I'm so sick of this liquid diet.

Good luck on Wednesday!

My surgery is 3/5 at Weight Wise in Edmond. Are you on the liquid diet for pre-op weight loss, or is that what your surgeon requires? I just have to do Clear liquids the day before surgery. I find it interesting how each facility seems to have developed their own way of approaching surgery.

How many days have you been on the preop diet, oknewme? It is rough. But, after about the third day, it gets better. I am 10 days postop. Can't wait to get to the soft diet this Thursday. I am ready for an egg and tuna. Never thought I would say that. Lol.........Hang in there. Do you have all of your preop testing finished?

My physician requires it. I laugh and sometimes say that I wish I had researched the pre-op diets instead of the surgeons. Good luck to you on Tuesday. We are so close.

You're right d. Every surgeon does something different. You would think there would be more standard diets. Good luck with your surgery!!

Everything is good. I really had zero pain after surgery. Just sore, but not pain. I didn't fill the prescription for pain meds. It took me about 3 nights before I would sleep in bed. I slept in the recliner. Now, everything is just normal. They will have you wear a binder of 2 weeks. I really supports your stomach and makes it feel better. Which surgeon do you have? I had Katsis. He is really great. Are you finished with all your testing?

      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!
