What's in a Name



Recommended Posts

Naturally my name is Jim. My best girlfriend in Virginia had a friend named Jim also. As I was her husbands boss, she started calling me Jimboss as not to confuse her little girl about who she was speaking of when she mentioned "Jim".

I'm originally from Virginia. Born in Georgia but raised in and around the Richmond Va area. My lovely bride and I moved to South Dakota in 1996 and have been here ever since. We do miss Virginia though. And we would go back but all of our kids are here as well as grandbabies, so it would be tough to abandon all of that.

I am the Power Plant Manager with the South Dakota State Penitentiary.

I think that says it all.

Bill, in Oshkosh, WI. I'm at the point where the Surgeon is going to submit a letter of determination to my insurance co. Keep your fingers crossed!

My name is a combo, Im Victorious in Christ, (and only because of Him), and my favorite movie is Polyanna, and my favorite era in time is the Victorian one. So no great mystery how I came up with Victoriana. I have the Irish name of Kathleen, by gosh and begorah.

Hi everyone!

My name is Tracy. (from WI) Bubby is a nickname that my DH and I called each other while we were dating. When we first got married we lived in the country near a small blow by town of Bussyville so we named our home Bubbyville. (ah what stupid things you do when you are in love).

And speaking of the hurricaine, I went through that thing down there....went through 4 of em before I got out of Florida. Anyhoo...my username comes from what my DH sometimes says when he calls me. "I'm looking for my blue eyed baby" Do ya wanna guess what color my eyes are? :party:

My name is Nathalie Grace Adams. NGAdams.

I used to have the nickname NGAplz because I think it's funny, though it's not exactly PC, and can be hurtful to people. Dave Chappelle doesn't think so though, but I'm not Dave Chappelle. I also didn't think it would be appropriate for LBT. So I'm just NGAdams

Hello Everyone,

My name is Stacy... which is the first part of my username, the rtl stands for: ready to loose. Like everyone else, that is what my goal is. Kind of boring, but it is what it is I guess.

This has been a nice thread to read thru.:clap2:

      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
