Anyone want to be my friend?! 2nd Sept D-Day.



Recommended Posts

Hello All,

I am nice (relatively), polite (often), house trained (definitely), sarcastic (a lot, but only in a third party observation kind of way and to people who deserve it) lady who is due to be eviscerated on the 2nd September.

I would like to meet.. No, hold on, that sounds like an introduction on a dating website.

I would very much like to make new friends who are embarking or have already embarked on this (and I hate to use the term, cause it sounds so 'Oprah'/'Dr. Phil') 'journey'. <gags just a little bit>

I'm a fairly cheerful sort, who normally has something to say for herself; hopefully pushing the boundaries of the routine discursive analytic. I also like to be incredibly childish in a grown-up sort of way and can often be observed taking things to their lowest common denominator...

I would very much welcome banter, chit chat, discussion and observations from people who kindly have the time and inclination.

If you can spell (the odd mistake is permissible - and yes, I'm joking. Sort of. ), don't have a grossly disillusioned sense of superiority (yeah, I've seen you guys out there and frankly, I cannot be arsed with it) and fancy some light-hearted banter with someone from across the pond about all things sleeve and more importantly (for balance) non sleeve, please do contact me!

I promise I'll be a good online friend and promise I have no desire to become a site megalomaniac. Living in the real world, an' all...

In anticipation of hopefully making some new buddies who I can annoy and pester for the contents of their minds on a weekly (probably daily) basis,

Revs x

Mmmm... You lost me at the word "journey" (that's part of my criteria of accepting a new sleeve buddy) too bad.

Oh, and I murder the English language when it comes to spelling, punctuation, etc. But, I would like to think I know a thing or two about being sleeved despite it. I'm out! :P

Aint that the truth! Far too much doom and gloom in this world (or do I mean 'room') already!

I had surgery Sept 3rd. How are you doing?

I ended up pushing mine back until I sort out a few domestic issues. To be honest, I'm having second thoughts. How are you feeling? How did it go?

      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!
