Hello everyone im new on here my surgery date is set for july 22 . Pretty nervous and excited at the same time. Anyone having problems with family support? My mom is not so happy bout me having surgery my sister also . The only real support i have is my husband would love to hear from anyone thanks for your time

Hi,

I have one sister that supports me along with a niece then I have one sister that think I should just go on a diet. Right!

I haven told a lot of people one good friend knows and they live in Detroit. But we talk a lot. She has the lap band. So that common thread of having a procedure to loose weight helps.

I have one week until I begin my pre-op liquid diet. July 22 is just around the corner!

I suggest going to support groups in your area. I did and plan to continue. We will have to encourage each other, glad your husband is supporting you.

It's an exciting time!

Karen

So far, I've told both my moms about my surgery. I was adopted as a baby, and from the age of 21 on, I've been blessed to have my biological mom's loving presence in my life, in addition to the rock-solid love of my adoptive mom. I was worried that they wouldn't agree with my decision, especially my bio-mom--she's a Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, probiotic, unprocessed sugars, whole-wheat flour, herbal supplement, alternative medicine-cured-her-Stage-IV-cancer kind of lady. I kind of thought the idea of removing 2/3 of my stomach wouldn't go over well with her.

Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit--they BOTH support my choice 100%! I'm so happy and surprised! This just proves that the women in my life are beyond amazing. :wub:

      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!
