It is generalized in my left breast but it hurts worse on the lateral side-that is the side where bras hurt it and where the mammogram found the density.

You know, everyone is going to be horrified with these multiple "TMI" posts when they read them in the morning!!:crying:

I have to wonder if it is all connected. It's possible. Our bodies are like that.

AND about our TMI posts, they will just realize it's Dee and Munchie, if Mini was here, she'd be with us!

You make a good point about it being all connected. I may have to call my very wise and very nice gyne. And you are right-Puff Mama would be joining in if she weren't unconscious right now! (Like we probably should be!)

I actually can't believe Puff Mama left us! How could she leave Heavy DD and Princess the artist formerly known as Munchkin!

She's a slacker! :crying:

She's fortunate we love her, or we'd ban her from our Band!

BUT she's Puff Mama and how could we do that to Puffy?

She's probably tired -- she also has a hubby! If I did, I'd be in bed too! ARGH!

Well, you are right, we couldn't really be Puff Mama, Heavy DD and the 80 Talking Boobies without her.

I think I am going to attempt to sleep or else I will not get anything accomplished tomorrow before I have to go back to work on Friday. I have been slacking all week!

Night night! Sweet dreams!! And big hugs from Illinois!!

Well, Princess formerly known as Munchkin, I better get to sleep. Or try at least. I have to get up early and swim or else, Shelbi will kick my soon to be skinny arse!

Good Night John-boy!

Love,

I am from the Quad Cities, not sure if you know where that is, on the northeast part of Illinois/northwest part of Iowa, about 3 hours from Chicago. I live on the Illinois side, but all you have to do is cross the bridge and you are in Iowa. I work in Iowa. I love the midwest too. I love Iowa especially. Guess that makes me a hick!:tongue:
My aunt & uncle live in Bettendorf. I would never choose to live there. Sooozville. :wink2:
Hi All~

Donavon had his surgery on Tuesday afternoon. It lasted around 3 hours. He

ended up needing the big incision versus the laprascopic one. I was upset

at first and realized that this had to be a blessing as they found a 2nd

mass that was undetected by all of the previous tests. It was up higher and

was lodged, therefore needing the incision to come out.

They took out approx. 13 inches of his colon and the 2 masses. They have

been sent to lab and we will know on Thursday or Friday if it is cancer or

not.

Brandy ((HUGS)) hang in there. We are all pulling for you guys.

I guess I missed the first day of BFL. I get so behind on this thread. lol. I am not sure I can handle it right now, but I will try best I can. Count me in. I might have a lot of questions. :crying:

Thanks for all the opinions on my boobie. I don't really have any reason to think something is wrong other than the fact that it hurts...

Remember the ones that hurt are (as a general rule) not the ones to worry about it is the ones that don't hurt that your doctors are going to be even more cautious about.

Better safe than sorry in the long run anyway!!!

Anyone else having terrible insomnia this week besides me?

Man, I wish I had. You two are cracking me up!!!

You know, everyone is going to be horrified with these multiple "TMI" posts when they read them in the morning!!:crying:

You've got me laughing hysterically at my desk. :tongue:

AND about our TMI posts, they will just realize it's Dee and Munchie, if Mini was here, she'd be with us!

I can't wait to meet you guys!! We'd have so much fun! :w00t:

I've been reading Puff Mama for days now, and it just dawned on me that Puff Mama is a throw-back to Puff Daddy. :wink2: I'm only 26, how can I be that behind in the times? I mean, I knew Heavy DD was a throw-back to Heavy D, but missing the Puff reference? Sheesh!

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      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
