How did everything go? Hope you're feeling well.

I'm feeling great. I'm able to get all my Fluid in. . My energy level is good . I think I over did it yesterday with my wii fit but this morning I'm great. I've been having a little discomfort when I drink my shakes but I noticed that decrease as the days go by. Dr. Hart and Emory Johns Creek was wonderful.

You know they are putting an LA Fitness right on 78 where the old Kroger used to be. I have a membership and I am allowed to take 1 person for free besides my daughter. My daughter had gastric bypass May 30, 2012

Loved Dr. Macik and Northside. Only stayed in hospital one night. Everyone was great. I have been lucky and off pain meds since I got home. Had major dry heaves when they gave me pain meds in the hospital. Trying to walk out the gas pains...those still hurt the most.

He did an awesome job on my daughter. He doesn't speak much but he is very lovable.

What did you do for pre-diet.

I did the low/no carb diet. So a lot of veggies and grilled/ baked meats. Whole fruits and Water. I was glad I didn't have to do the liquid diet.

I am like ten minutes from that new gym. My niece and I were thinking about joining there. We did the get in shape boot camp around the corner for five weeks and it was great!

I ate veggies and minimal meat. i was losing the weight but I wanted to come off faster. I didn't work out that much before I got the sleeve. I am not really that motivated to do the work. I was thinking that after the surgery would do it. Getting the weight off suppose to be easy now! I sleeved 10/10/12. Hoping that I change my thought of having regrets.

      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!
