A thread for people who dont argue, name call, dictate or generally just be nasty.

We're close, I'm in Yakima. :)

Ahh.. I lived in Yakima many years. Went to YVC, met my husband, married, first child there, graduated CWU and then moved for work, but many awesome memories there. In-laws are gone now so we don't get there much.

I'm not nasty, but I do argue a lot. It's the best way to test my arguments for weakness! You can't test arguments without arguing! It violates the whole purpose of having an argument! I also name call, ESPECIALLY if I'm playing Borderlands 2.

Can I still hang out?

Nope. Not here!

Then I will take my tongue-in-cheek attempt at levity and depart your thread. Have a good day!

AussieLady,

What were you doing awake at 2:10am?

If your answer is exercising, then you are totally excused Lol

Since I got my sleeve I have nights where I just don't sleep. Last night was one of this nights. Has anyone else had this problem since getting sleeved?

Yes, unfortunately. I now take a sleep aid to help with that.

Yes!!! I find myself awake all hours of the night. I just cannot sleep.

Later in the day I'm exhausted and then wouldn't you know it, I can't sleep again that night.

Count me in to the owl club. My remedies include magnesium tablets(chewed up), b6, a pain killer of some kind, and melatonin. I have always had trouble with sleeping so I can't blame it entirely on the sleeve. It seemed to get worse years ago when I worked 3rd shift followed by another job back to back with it on 1rst shift; my workaholic days. Also living in South Africa for 6 months played into it .

My sleep clock is messed up, I normally take a nap around 2 in the afternoon. I have tried to stay awake during that time and reset it but have not been successful thus far.

I take 2 unisom and it really helps me. Some of the other OTC remedies do not work as well for me or give me a hangover the next day (Costco sleep aid does this).

My dr prescribed me Xanax to help with the sleeplessness and it made me get up and raid my cabinets/refrigerator.

I cannot take it because then I start snacking instead of sleeping.< /p>

Ugh :(

I have Xanax as well and it does help sleep. I find that if something, (or someone , **plants vs zombies playing wife** ), wakes me up I have a hard time getting back to sleep no matter what I had taken. I try to save the Xanax for visits from annoying relatives. :huh:

I was having a hard time sleeping as well - until I amped up my exercise routine - using my fitbit - I never go without getting in 10k steps now - and I guess that wears me out :-)! However, I do agree with you guys - if I am woken up in the middle of the night (like my dogs barking) - I find it difficult to go back to sleep - but I'm not sure that is because of the sleeve.

      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! 😞

      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.
