I hate to change the subject, but back to a more serious note.

Dawg, is there any chance you will be expanding your practice in the future to include plastic surgery, specifically, tummy tucks and bat wing removal? After doing the lap band, I can't imagine this would be a hard technique for you to master, especially with Susan helping you. What would your cost be on that? Also, do you and Susan provide lodging and meals while we recover?

THAT you consider more serious?

I am curious about these naughty dreams...details people! My dreams have been so PG lately. Last night I was swimming after the ferry until we decided to move into an abandoned barge and become lawyers.

Did I reveal too much?

Actually, I keep dreaming I am a detective in some old Film Noir movie... dressed like Humphrey Bogart, and narrating everything to myself. If it's my dream, why do I need the narration?

"After telling the Lap band folks about my dream, I typed more information in a database at work It was a boring database, the type of database that gives most people nightmares, but keeps the business running. I decided to stop typing and moved onto the personnel reports. Ahh, the personnel reports. How I remember working on them back in the day... that was before they became mandatory and I had to have them on the bosses desk every monday... yeah I remember those days. Despite all that... something kept drawing me back to LBT. Was it something sinister? Was it something exciting? Maybe it was some dame that I couldn't get out of my mind... a dame who was exciting and banded, like all dames should be... maybe I should stop narrating all this and gwet back to my two-bit job, that just covered the bills..."

It was hot, hot enough to roast a cat. Dawg eyed "Just" Paul's dream about detectives and an expression of suspicion flashed across his dour face.

"Thought you could pull the old 'detective dream' to kill the thread eh?". Dawg cackled insanely, "we'll see about that".

Grabbing his keyboard set to work typing feverishly. Too feverishly.

Hmmm... reproductive burp. Where more comes up than went down?

Well not quite. First you burp, then you have to bring it up for 21 years.

And one day, the random lurker posted a message just to see if she could kill a thread. See, no one knew much about her, and not how to respond.

Oh and Kathy, you only offend if you eat alot of your black bean salad.< /p>

Your lurker status is powerless against my hoard of winged monkey type things.

ok, I just sent IM's to my DH and my son.

DH is sitting 5 feet from me, and son is downstairs, almost directly below me. I thought it was normal behaviour?

Ok, I ate bread, and Pasta and cheese and ice cream and fruity Rum drinks and more ice cream with hot fudge, and mac'n'cheese (the velveta shell pasta kind) and more pasta. I've had all my fill removed, and I ate all I wanted.

I'm down 5 pounds this week.

Maybe I should try this special diet before I get a fill. Hey, if it works, it works. Now, if I could only get my DH off my computer and back on his own machine, we'd be all set for the IM's. Personally hate IM's but you get the point.

Speaking of dreams.....I really had a dream that I lost a huge patch of hair after my first fill.....it's scheduled for this Fri. This time I hope my dreams do not come true. :notagree

Jill, I'm outing you from lurk status. You simply MUST post! Now way could you kill a thread. Not THIS thread anyway. LOL Yummmm, black bean salad. Who wants the recipe? Guess what's in it?....CHEESE!!!!

hahahahahahaa!

...are those reproductive burps the ones you get if you're a good catholic???

Beware cheese lovers - think VERY carefully before acting! Researchers say that a rapid decrease in CHEESE consumption has a doubly inverse affect on the reproductive burp quotient...

Hey Dawg - will you be adding boobage repair to your surgical menu?? A couple of balloons, an egg lifter, some taco sauce and a couple of safety pins should just about do it...

I don't think the wife would like me 'handling' that type of job.

I can suggest a self help treatment though. Cheap and Easy. simply fashion a new bra from duct tape. You can sculpt, adjust and give all the lift you could ever want!

I don't know if it would be safe for beach wear though.

      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

      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!
