Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call



Recommended Posts

I just checked in after being away for a little bit.

Easter was ok - I find that I am able to eat more at this recent stage which is a little scary.

I am 50 and have been pre-menopausal and it has really kicked in (last cycle was in January) so I am having increased hot flashes and all the PMS symptoms and not feeling a happy camper. I gained four lbs so currently at 161 from 157 over two weeks ago - have stalled' date=' feeling frustrated, feeling bloated, and I was really hoping to be at 150 by my 6 month appt on April 11th, as my doctor had expected.

I feel heavier - pants feel tighter just from regaining four pounds and who knows how many inches. And was really disappointed that instead of losing down to 150 in the past two weeks, have not moved after regaining.

:([/quote']

You have got this. Just get back to basics.

Yeah I'm still only down the same 35lbs no matter what goes in and what is worked off. The doctors pretty sure that my resting metabolic rate is more like 700/800 and that is for over 20 years of only eating at night and skipping meals all day long. I would only eat dinner and some kind of junk snack later in the evening "chips pop" . Starbucks Triple Venti white chocolate mocha Was my Breakfast and lunch every day for the past 10 years and I was happy with that lmao. I have never liked food and I still don't care much for it. I eat more now after the sleeve then I have in the past 20 years. I could go days with never feeling hungry I'm now hungry all the time every day I hate that the most. But I can ignore it just like I used to But unfortunately I have to eat breakfast lunch and dinner so I do.

Every time I look in the mirror I am just shocked at the person looking back at me. Today as I glared at the reflection if myself my thoughts were wow..... This used to be a morbid obese person. I never thought it possible to feel the way I do today.

      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!
