I hope I will not be seen as defending anybody...but I think we should be careful about rushing to judgment.

No question if a person has a bad experience she should post it to warn others...no question a surgeon has an ethics issue if they are preying on patients still under the effects of surgical drugs...however...

isn't it always wrong to decide the merits of an issue without hearing from both sides?

isn't it true they dating for a number of weeks...which sounds less like a predatory manuever and more like a relationship gone bad?

Isn't it true that the lady in question later said she lied about the sex and retracted her story against him? Believe the original story or belive the retraction...but these conflicting versions certainly add a great deal of "grey's" to this issue. Incredible that some are treating the denial of impropriety on the OP's part as proof that he WAS guilty! Why the hunger to castigate him?

While the story sounds very sketchy towards Dr Luna's professionalism...I don't think it's fair for so many posters to believe they can get in his head and determine what his thoughts and motives are...especially since he hasn't spoken for himself yet. Plus, considering the amount of times (before this came up) I've read different posters writing about how they wish this had happenned to them with Dr Luna (I even joked with him about how he was a sex symbol on this board when I was there) I'm just not so sure this is a black and white issue.

I was waiting for you. You're never too far away. One only has to look on the wrong side of the fence in any heated topic to find you. You must understand the meaning of the word "maybe" as it was used repeatedly here. Like in "maybe" you have more insight and inherent knowledge than the majority of the members of this forum and "maybe" you just think you do and love attention, even if its negative.

My apologies I thought the post saying fat girls have a hard time getting men was in this thread but its obviously in one of the other 4-5 threads on the same topic. I'm glad you are giving me attention now, which is what you think I'm seeking out. Arent I allowed to talk just as much as everyone else. I never said I had more insight nor am I someone who acts like it. The moment someone posts something that disagrees with someone else then all hell breaks lose jeez. I'm sorry I will no longer look in the "current" threads and comment since according to you I shouldnt talk

Thank you. It makes my day to think that you spent that time scouring the thread to find the "1st post" position lol. Anal much? As I said I have read all of the threads on this subject and I knew you had already posted in this one. I was not referring to waiting for you to post in this thread. I was referring to waiting for you to respond to my post and to disagree with me. As I've already said I've read your posts throughout the forum. I get that that's how you roll.

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      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
