Alrite now coming rite along, u r rite there, once u meet with the surgeon it seems like thats the last straw b4 approval.. Y don't u start with just walking around the block & increase as time goes on.. I say that so that it will become normal routine & wont b or seem so hard once u cross over...

Im trying, last week was my first wk walking. I did 4 days rangin from 30- 50 mins... Felt good afterwards tho.. See my NUT on the 18th..

My psych eval was a hour long. I was really nervous be cause i felt I was on display but I was as honest as I could b & it turn out fine.. (Guess im not as crazy as I thought) lol

So good so far...

I was actually afraid to do my psych eval because of a lady in my pre op class... She said he would not approve her for surgery and that she needed 5 more sessions with him . But when I got there, he asked a bunch of questions concerning my kids, parents & marriage . Then when I would try to answer his questions he would cut me off... Every time I spoke he cut me off. So after a while I said to myself just shut up or I'll have to come back for 5 sessions too... I got approved !!! Then he says I'm here if you need me... My reply was ill see you in the halls.

I thought you were going to say you'd see him in hell LOL

Did he specialize in WLS, obesity, etc? Mine specializes in WLS...She gave me some helpful information.....I would definintely see her if I needed support after surgery.

      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!
