To the smokers. Sorry I called you dumb. I do know how to spell for the person who was ragging on my spelling. I`m using my phone and my thumb is way bigger than the buttons. Its comical because I am a teacher. Anyway, apologies to all.

I got "wadded up" because I did not appreciate being called dumb. But I really got "wadded up" because I was told I'm a militant smoker, I'm old, I smell, and I'm going to basically die soon.

So, yes, I think the apology was warranted and it is appreciated.

I was extra harsh with you. Was having a bad day. I read over the weekend that current smokers are 7 x as likley as non smokers to get anal cancer. So much is stacked against smokers. I read Farrah Fawcetts book, written by her bf and it was horrible what she went thru. Thats all Im gonna say on this subject. Lets put it behind us.

I have no idea what you posted, but as a former smoker, I hate it. My mom was a smoker, she died when she was 3 years older than I am now....from lung cancer. (she was 56) I continued to smoke for another five years. Quitting was the most difficult thing I've ever done, but boy, I feel so much better. It's been sixteen years and my intolerance to smoke and my sensitivity is shocking. I carry nose spray with me because if I happen to walk through cigarette smoke, or am near a smoker, I get all stopped up and cannot breath. I can smell a smoker just by passing them on the grocery isle and can smell it on someone who walks up to our door. I can't believe I went from smoking a pack a day to cigarette smoke triggering a Migraine many times. It's bizarre.

You are protected under the First Amendment. As a former smoker, I wish I had stuff like that to read. Been smoke free for over 5 yrs. the best. Irony though, you get sleeved to lose weight and be healthy but continue smoking which is just as bad. To each their own. Just ironic. :/

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      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.
