Looking For Dec Sleevers Out There



Recommended Posts

Thanks deeriggs, where are u from, I'm from nj. I see my surgeon tomorrow hopefully he will tell me how long I will be out of work, I fell like I don't want to go bk n have to deal with the negativity or the tension of sitting in the office under my boss everyday.

I am in TN. My doctor said 2 weeks minimum however, I work for the government and my boss is a Chaplain in the Army so I am off the whole month of December. You definitely shouldn't have to deal with the negativity. I think your boss is just jealous because you are taking the steps that you need to to get healthy. :)

I just did my pre-op yesterday too! I hope I'm still cleared for surgery! Seemed like everything went ok... I also start my liquid diet on Monday. My surgery is two weeks later on Monday the 17th. How did your pre-op go? Is your surgeon going to notify you about the results?

Just prayed for you that God takes control of the situation and that your stress level stays down will continue to pray ! Good Luck with everything and God Bless

Thanks! I appreciate it. We are overwhelmed with all the stuff to deal with the lay off, decisions to make, and in the middle of all this- getting ready for my surgery. Days he was going to take off to run errands, he is now in meetings with HR and I am figuring out what medications to refill while we still have coverage. All this time I was going to be getting ready for surgery. I am trying to take moments to be still and just focus on God.

      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! 🤣
