I will be there. I may be late, but I'm going to try and leave the office in time. Dick and I had a great trip. Stories to tell.

3 hours before we can pick up Willie, our dog. Love the pics Betsy.

Hmm. Sometimes you have to read back a few messages to get the scoop on who's coming, when and where. Sorry you weren't there! We're gonna see if anybody has time Monday after next...don't know where yet....might be tough with the holidays.....

Does anybody want to go mall walking during the weekend. I know.....crazy during shopping season. But I'm thinking first thing when the mall opens? Either that or a walk around Kingwood on the trails?

Just read your post. Darn that sounded like fun. I'm scheduled for my test on the 20th. That's two days before we leave on our cruise. Depending on what the results are I'm not going to let them fill me back up. I'll just wait 1 week and get filled when we get back. I don't want to take a chance that I'll run into trouble. How much could I gain in a week????

Can you believe its the 1st of December? Santa is almost here.

OK everyone are we still meeting tomorrow, Monday Dec 10th? If so where? The time is 6:00 pm. Let's decide on where. I have a meeting that will put me there on time or a few minutes late. My prior suggestions were Hector's, Panera's, or La Villa. Any other's?

BArbara, congrats on scheduling your test. I think that's terrific. There has to be some answer for your finicky esophagus.

I'm game for tomorrow if we can draw a crowd! Otherwise I'd prefer to wait until after the holidays.

So far its you, Sandra, and I. Where is Suzanne and the others? Send me an email if you decide against it tomorrow. We could meet at La Villa. Its the easiest for all to find each other.

      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!
