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.

I didnt scour through anything. I remembered. So what if I disagree with you? Is that a crime now? Most people would agree to disagree and not resort to making fun of someone

Omg the child like behavior on this thread is amazing yet dissapoining. Can everyone just end it. No one knows what happened exactly. They are both to blame. Just agree to disagree. There is no need for all of this.

I feel no need to bash people who disagree with me' date=' nor like you, do I feel the need to tell others that they can't post because "I don't want to hear from them". Believe me, if I was, you'd know it. ;)[/quote']

Lady i said i wanted to hear from actual patients..if there is more than one then they should say something..i dont care of any non patients bashing him..that is all very simple...this will be my last posting going back and forth with....this isnt going no where..BUT AGAIN STOP TWISTING MY WORDS....

I am not at liberty to say everything I know or how i know it. But I can say that Dr. Garcia himself is looking into all if this now.

Now that Dr. Garcia himself is looking into it I hope we can let this go.

I also hope, regardless of the outcome and regardless which version is true, that Blindsided speak with a counselor to help her cope with what has obviously been an overwhelmingly emotional experience.

I will say this, maybe just maybe blindsided is being threatened or has been threatened. That is why she had to retract what she has said. I for one believe her with what she first posted. I feel for her. I was once in her shoes with a dr hear in the US. I reported him to the proper athorities and they made me look like a fool. I didnt have a relationship with him. I reported him touching me inappropriately to the police and the hospital and they took his side. These doctors have money and probably some of the best attorney's in the world to protect them. And when you tell the truth to the world what they have done( and you have no evidence) they can and will sue you for defammation if you dont take your story back. I hope and pray she has someone to support her she needs people to be there for her.

Maybe I'm just unknowing but how do you know? You speak with an awful lot of authority in these dr. Luna posts and I'm just wondering if you really know whats going on or just know things through the grape vine? If its the latter than I don't think we should put much stock into your claims of whats going on.

I'm not sure if you read that I'm not at liberty to tell you everything..

But I was given permission (from the top not the grapevine) to inform you all that this is being looked at by dr Garcia himself.

If you choose not to except that? Not much I can do for you.

Thank you! I needed that and coming from you it means a lot. I was telling Alex yesterday that I'm to the point some days that I just want to stick to the two threads I've been on lately and not venture out because of the ugliness..

I think some changes need to be made.

      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
