I have been following this wonderful thread. I am so proud of you, Frumpynomore, for starting it and keeping it up! And thank you so much for the pictures. Wow, what a change! No wonder your surgeon wanted to post your pics.

You must be very happy with it. You paid a price in many ways but the results speak for themselves.

And thank you. Lara0280! You look great! I am planning on posting my before and after pics after I reach my goal of one more pound but they are quite a yawn compared to you guys' pics! :)

You are tough, tough, ladies!

Today was Day 20 of recovery and I feel like I've got a little more stamina. It was my 2nd day back at work and it went a lot better than yesterday. I apparently sat too long yesterday at work because last night I had nerve or muscle spasms in my lower abdomen area that felt like labor pains! It wasn't fun and it happened all throughout the night. I knew it had something to do with me sitting too much because I was very uncomfortable all day so I tried to not sit for long periods at a time today and got up from my desk and walked around every now and then. In fact, I spent more time standing than sitting today. I've had a few pains tonight but nothing like last night. If I had a choice I would have taken this week off from work too which would have made a total of 24 days of rest before returning to work and I think I could have handled an 8 hour day better. I'm sure tomorrow will be even better than today so I'll be just fine

One year on Jan. 16. I have stepped up the exercise big time in the last couple of months so the slow loss at the end is no biggie to me. I have put muscle back on and my clothes fit better and fat is going bye-bye.

After I put my pics up you all can give me opinions on it. I lean toward no, I look OK in clothes and my male modeling career is over. B) I wear a t-shirt when I swim, sun doesn't like my fair complexion so being impressive at the beach is a non-factor.

      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!
