*WITHOUT WANTING TO OPEN IT UP AGAIN*

A BMI of 30 is obese (just). If someone has made good attempts to get to a healthy weight and can't (like all of us) I say the sooner the better.

You are a very smart man Dean...very open minded, sympathetic, understanding, and non-judge mental. I believe that is the kind of man His farther and i created in our son and I'm so proud of him on his 21st bday!!!!!!

Life is about opening up our minds and hearts to love and understand others whether their lives or experiences are the same as ours or not.

I don't know about very smart :) , but I try my best to live all of the other attributes as best I can.

21 - I can only imagine what it will be like to see my kids at that age, young adults with their lives ahead of them.

Wish your son a happy birthday from VST - and congratulations to you and his Dad, I'm sure you've done a wonderful job!

This thread and others like it give all the reasons why I no longer come to this site. Thought I would just visit and see if things have changed, but no, it's still nasty, unsupportive and unwelcoming. Everything a site like this SHOULD NOT BE. A shame because there's some really sincere, nice people here.

No irony there, just good advice,but it's apparent that you only see advice as good if it matches your ideas. I think you have been given a lot of good advice on here and if I were you I would seek counseling before I considered undertaking this surgery. It is clear that you have not taken any good advice onboard and consider yourself an expert in a surgery for which you have no experience and absolutely no idea what you are talking about. There, I have said my piece, back in 3 months to see if uneducated and inexperiencedcexperts like you have gone elsewhere.

I'm not going to read through the thread at what I missed. No need, since I know too well I'll have to say something and sometimes things are better off without my two cents. Plus.. I'm too lazy

Marvelous Monday morning too y'all

The "Fatties" thread was a sane conversation compared to this one :o

"an expert in a surgery for which you have no experience and absolutely no idea what you are talking about" this is my favourite part because when I asked for info from people who "had surgery in India" you jumped on with quite a few snarky judgmental comments w your uneducated thoughts on people going to India for surgery --- for which you had not had.

I don't know why u say I have not taken any good advice on board? I'm asking lots of questions on here to better prepare myself for what may come. NO ONE knows exactly how they will feel after this surgery all we can do on this side (pre op) is be as prepared for anything that comes our way. And thank's to BFL advice I will def look for a group or someone to talk to post op to use "more tools" that are offered to me and make my life/journey easier ... Can't wait to catch up in 3 months!

      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! 🤣

      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!
