Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call



Recommended Posts

Ready- feel better! I was sick all week, the doctor said to take robitussin.

Green - the majority of your weight loss will be during the first 6 months and then it slows down. I was sleeved 2 1/2 months ago so I only have 4 1/2 months left.

I can't believe how much I ate today and none of it was healthy. It was shocking how much my stomach allowed. I'm disappointed in myself but need to start fresh tomorrow.

My kids picked up the stomach flu. Starting on Wednesday night with one, then Thursday morning with the other..then late Thursday - Friday morning for the hubby. Thought I was free and clear. Yeah, not so much. By 5 pm Friday I was in bed and then violent vomiting and diahrrea all night. Felt a bit better, but weak, today. Decided to take a shower in the afternoon...bad idea. Good thing the hubby was home, cause I passed out. Could feel it coming on and yelled for him and he got me out and to the toilet before it all went dark.

I was worried about getting sick -- with the tiny tum. Uber dehydrated, which would explain the syncope in the shower. Trying to drink, but I still feel icky. Hard to do so when you keep throwing up. But hopefully the violent stuff is past and I can get in some fluids. Probably should have gone to the hospital for intravenous Fluid, but who wants to sit in the ER with other sickies for hours on end? Not me. Still feeling weak. Going to rest and drink. Just want to sleep.

I hope you feel better soon - I didn't want to sit in the ER either but glad I did - I couldn't wait until Monday to see my fam Dr... The cough'n has reduced a lot since they gave me all these meds... My whole stomach feels sore like I did a millions sit ups for the 1st time - the cough'n was so bad it was cause'n me to throw up - it was awful - it's a lot of sickness goin around right now... They gave me IV Fluid, basically I was somewhat dehydrated, have bronchitis/upper respiratory infection & a bladder infection.. While I was in there my temp went up to 102 & then they had to give me something to bring it down... Glad I'm now & resting & gonna rest all day tomorrow before going back to work Monday...

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      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! 🤣
