August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?



Recommended Posts

So I keep having dark dreams of death and dying on the table and all...anyone else going through this....I even dreamed last night that I was visited and told if I didnt stop this surgery I would die.....would like to shake this and hope its just part of this weird issue of going back and forth and some being scared etc

When my husband had surgery he couldn't sleep for 3 weeks prior. The doc said that's normal. We are all just nervous.

Sounds like you have some serious misgivings about the surgery. I haven't had any dreams like that. I do think towards the negative' date=' like getting on the table and being found full of cancer or horrible stomach ulcers and they can't perform the surgery. Did you see a psychiatrist for clearance prior to surgery? Hope you can find peace with your decision![/quote']

I thought about the cancer thing too. Like oh what if the cut me open and see a bunch of cancer and then I remembered that it's laperscopic and probably won't happen like that.

I made a great Soup the other day' date=' took zucchini and yellow squash and sliced and used a frying pan with just the olive oil spray, and grilled them some like that, then added in fresh basil, and salt and pepper, then added in some chicken broth and used a little flour to make a thick rue like then skim milk, then added to the blended and pureed it all. was pretty good that way actually......mmm thoughts of zucchini banana bread with walnuts and chocolate chips....whoops that was the old me that could have that <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />[/quote']

My mom makes a traditional zucchini bread for the kids and she adds extra zucchini and reduces the sugar. You could also use them in a veggie or lentil soup or cut them and freeze them for later.

I did not know that til I read your post. I was like 'WHAT" I had to go look. Of course I couldn't find it, so I went to the help section where I watched a tutorial on how to use it. Thanks for the heads up. This is going to come in very handy now. Hopefully less self typed entries.

Anyone tried chia seeds yet? I've been adding them to my Protein smoothies. They add a lot of Fiber and bulk, really helping with satiety.

      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!
