Well I haven't been able to sleep all night. I think I have slept a total of 2 hours. There are 3 of us and I made the mistake of just getting one room. My friend that is getting sleeved with me myself our sharing a bed. The r full size beds (maybe Queens but I think full) & and for 2 big girls that was not a good idea. I made sure that after surgery when we check back into the hotel that we have 2 rooms that connect. We also had a problem getting our 2 bottles of Water a piece because we r sharing a room I guess. When we got to the room there was only one bottle of water so we called them for the other 3 because we were told that they would give us 2 bottles a day per sleever. They said that they could only give us 2 per room. I'm not complaining but I just wanted everybody to know in case u have a choice of 2 rooms. If 2 bottles of water is my only issue yay for me. I realized I made a mistake in my early post about who picked s up from the airport. It was Samuel not Abraham. Sorry Samuel lol. Well 2 more hours before I head to the hospital. I will post again when I can.

Sorry it took me so look to check in but yesterday was ruff and I was the 1st surgery of the day. We ran a little late because dr Garcia got a flat on the way to the hospital. Just to let everybody know,I didn't see any naked people and dr Luna had read my post and asked me about my neon toes. Lol I said u read are post and he said yes. He said he would not let any patients see me naked lol. U con't ask for better car. There has been just a little problem with the language barrier but not bad. I will post more later. Good luck and well wishes to the sleevers that r leaving soon.

Yay you're done! Feel better, rest, walk, sip, all that. Thanks so much for posting. That's cool about Dr Luna reading our posts, been watching him and Dr Garcia and the gang on You Tube so I feel like I know them already and now they know us!

Yay! That first night IS hard, huh?

Isn't dr. Luna such a cute baby face!? And r4ac really is good at what they do. I'm glad I didn't pick different coordinators.

I am home, and had the best nights sleep since this adventure began last Friday. Yawn

I hope the rest of your recovery and trip are uneventful. <3

      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.
