Uggg... Im Getting Annoyed.... Rant



Recommended Posts

**RANT WARNING** haha

I am starting to feel used for my insurance plan.... First was my sleep study, my BMI was high enough that I did NOT need any extra factors for insurance, yet I still had to do two nights there. Ok not the end of the world, but now I cannot understand the logic for my EGD tomorrow... My appointment time is 12:00pm but I need to be there by 8:00am. They said I should be able to get in around 10ish but not guaranteed. So why should I need to spend 4 hrs in a waiting lobby for a 10 min procedure??? Now the real fun part, asking a buddy to take off some time from his job to give me rides.... "Hey Bud can I get a ride between the hours of 6:00am and 1:00pm" totally destroys my day and extremely inconveniences a friend for a 5-10 min procedure...

Whew, I feel better... Until I blow-up on the lady that asks for my $300 dollars for the EGD tomorrow...

Believe that I went in at least three hours before my EGD and it was time well spent. I had several pre-testing/op interviews by anesthesia, nurses and someone else. Also I was in recovery for at least an hour or two after the test.

Crossed fingers that you get in early!

Yea, the time went by really fast for me. I think mine was scheduled for 11:30 and I was there for 8am.

No food or Water from 12am until after the EGD too.

But once at the hospital, I felt really welcomed and taken care of, I hope yours is the same.

After the procedure, you will thank your lucky stars for the ride home. I was ok, physically, but thinking or making important decisions was a bust. I scheduled a phone interview for right after the procedure, and I was a complete air head! Thinking gave me an instant and sharp headache.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      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! 😞
