Buy a shelf instead of using my boobs as one (my crumb catchers).

Don't think I'm interested in 5k. I like to be able to do it and know that its a choice (lol) not too. However, there is a Zombie obstacle course run that I would love to do. However, ever seen those shirts "I don't have to run fast, just faster than you" or something along those lines to survive a Zombie attack. (Yes, big walking dead fan). I do not want to be Otis!

I am also a big fan "Walking Dead."

Was this the website where there was a post about VSG being the best operation for a Zombie Apocalypse? Limited food, we don't need as much medical upkeep, they don't want to eat skinny people and we could survive on less food.

It was an awesome thread!

Wow. Where to start? Although we have an active social life, and I take pride in wearing nice clothes, there are ALOT of milestones I can't wait to reach:

***Go to a store, and not have to take the elevator downstairs to the fat section, which is always near the kitchen and bedding section.

***go to a Yankee game and sit comfortably in my seat...not upright, pretending to have perfect posture, when I'm really just trying to not to spill over into the other seats!

***Go shopping with a friend. What fun is shopping together when you are "floors apart" and you don't want to ask them to check for the 3x tops while you are in the fitting room~

***if necessary, sharing a two-seater on my commuter train without holding my breath and getting numb from sucking my arms in!

***Yeah, those knee-high boots are on the list

***wrapping a bath towel around my body, and having the ends meet

***Having the tray table on the plane actually fold down all the way, and not risking spilling my drink which is always at a precarious angle!

***getting back to the dance studio and taking ballet barre classes. I took ballet for 15 years, and the thought of getting back to the barre at age 52, makes me weep.

***LIVING LIFE WITHOUT PHYSICAL BOUNDARIES!

The one excuse I don't miss. I will never again wear panty hose unless i absolutely have to. But youre so right--panty hose at this weight is an absolutely miserable experience and must have been invented by a scrawny man.

I am looking forward to not feeling like the seatbelt may decapitate me after coming to a fast stop! Or if you have to bend down to pick something up off the floor in the car and the seatbelt starts reeling you back in like some sort of deepsea fish!!!

Oh and no more granny panties! Sorry "just my size", it doesn't matter how you try to spin it - assorted fashion colors are not attractive for full-coverage briefs!!!

I can't stop laughing out loud!

      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!
