Or maybe she is a spoiledbrat like her profile name says.

I still don't see why you have to be rude as it is not helping anything ....

It doesnt matter how spoiled you are (for the record I dont know the OP so I wont call her that) a dr wont operate on you unless you meet certain criteria, so your point doesn't seem valid.

The OP called herself ' SpoiledBratt' so I dont think I am being rude by calling her that.

AussieLady has been nothing but rude here...

I was talking to Aussielady ...Even if the OP called herself one it is not as if Aussie was addressing her by merely stating her username she was actually calling her out as one. The general tone of all Aussie posts on this thread make her posts seem like personal attacks...Which IMO is totally unnecessary .

Wow! A lot of back and forth here! I'd like to know the background story too. Just out of curiosity.

From reading her previous posts she was a revision patient. Lost some wgt with band for a year and I believe had complications which lead to revision. Then lost the remainder with her sleeve.....but all that is just from reading her previous post. Second hand info. The poor OP has not even chimed back in.....guess all back and forth ran her off. I do apologize if you (the OP) didn't feel supported. That should b our main goal here.....

Do you study Bariatrics? Because you are in for quite the surprise when you find out the research they are doing to perform this on lower BMI's.

Aussie is going through a very rough time.. While it definitely doe not excuse her behavior.. It might explain her mindset at the moment.

Aussielady,

I'm very concerned about you and so are many others here. Please consider getting the help that is available to you.

Can you imagine what the benefit would be to healthcare costs alone if they did this surgery earlier? Astronomical....I believe in the future there will be a move to do this sooner than later. But more than that. The benefit to diabetics who lose their limbs because their diabetes is so out of control or lose their sight. Or the patient with hypertension or cardiac disease. What if this surgery done sooner prevents that? Isn't that worth a chance to have this surgery. And whether ppl realize it or not. Low BMI patients can be just as sick as higher BMI patients. We all should of course do all the research and know all the possible complications....then make our own choice.....what is best for us....only we can know that....and shouldn't fear being called names.

I usually try not to get involved in the negative threads, typically I just thinks its a waste of time.

That said comments about OP have really disturbed me. We have all likely been the victim of being judged at one point or another and we know how it feels. This person turns to this page for support and advice and you judge her because she only had to lose 33 pounds? Shame on you for judging others and shame on you for not using this site for the intended purpose.

I do not have a problem with people wanting this and other WLS procedures without co-morbidities. I have worked in Bariatrics for years, this is the where it is headed. A responsible surgeon can and will decide who this is best for. I find it fascinating and exciting! Thanks for the positive response SunMoonStar

I agree with Laura-ven. Aussielady, I pray that you receive the help you need. I sense that you have channeled your anger into another form of addiction. Please seek out the help you need to get better.

33 lbs.?? You had surgery and all you needed to lose was 33 lbs.?? I can just about lose that going to toilet. You obviously didn't qualify for insurance so you must really be a spoilt brat! Maybe you should have spent your money on a gym membership.

That was kinda mean. No judgements here please.

      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!
