So happy to hear that you are through the worst of the pain. You'll feel better and better every day...a trend that continues long after you get home. Congratulations, Amy... you've made it to the other side, and you will never have to go back to that fat misery!

Ps there were no naked people but I did see another person being worked on for a moment. In recovery I got to watch the screen of another persons surgery. Interesting but I was a lil queasy ATM.

Dr. Garcia took a pic of my stomach but I didn't want to see it yesterday. I'll look today or see if he can email it to me. :)

I woke up this morning in pain and nauseous but a lil meds cleared that up. I feel great now, bit i dont count on that to last.

I have the window open and hear the birds and see the sunshine. I feel really halpy. I could cry. Ive wanted (needed) to feel hope regarding my weight for a long time and i finally feel it. Hope.

I feel a lil hungry bit I think ya just acid.

Also, don't be alarmed if you wake up in recovery spitting old brown blood. Apparently that's normal. My first was pretty red. Also normal. And I did that all night off and on.

Eta- got a shower. That always makes me feel better too. I dislike figuring out unfamiliar hot/cold handles. Lol

Sip sip BURRRP. sip sip BURRP. Hehe

Getting to know my new little friend. He's got quirks.

I can't wait to get this drain out. I wonder of its because I have such a short torso that this thing is painful for me. Who knows. Should get it out tomorrow. Looking at what comes out of it makes me wonder where all that stuff goes on patients who don't have drains.

      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!
