I'll be finishing up my pre-op stuff this tuesday. But have a lot of stuff going on the next couple months, parents and inlaws will be out of town throughout the next couple months. Figured I'd just wait so all my support group could be here, and wait till after the holidays. I really want the surgery ASAP but with the busy schedule, and trying to fit in surgery will be too stressful on the wife and I.

Hello Everyone.

I just had my 2nd Appointment yesterday in Hamilton, New Jersey NJ with

Dr. Yelizaveta Lisa Dobruskin.

My surgery will be in January, 2013.

www.jerseybariatrics.com

I just wanted to introduce myself and hopefully run a diary of happenings during this WLS Journey. I anderstand it will be a life time commitment.

My stats:

I am 40+, African American / Black,

4'11 and 225lbs. Mother of two and recently divorced.

I am not sure if stats are used in terms of comparisons of progress but I will try to remember that my progress is mine alone. I will be successful in this journey. I will try to stay positive. I will hopefully have no regrets and very little to no complications.

The Serenity Prayer is a good inserted here:

Lord grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change;

To change the things I can;

and the Wisdom to know the difference.

--Ah!men--

Woot- Hoot for the January 2013 starters!!!

Amen!! Welcome and congratulations on making the decision to have the surgery done. I am 5'4 and currently weigh 238. I believe that you will be successful. Keep positive and focus on your ultimate goal. It will be a bumpy journey from what I can read by other's posts. But from what everyone has told me, keep a support group by you to help you get through it. :-)

      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!
