Argon, I'm sorry! I may have missed it, I apologize. What did you want to know about it?

Since I'm a nerd and needed to take time writing the PM, I composed the email in gmail before copying and pasting it into LBT, so I still have the 'draft'. I'll just resend it! :rolleyes: Thanks, I thought maybe you were just a jerk! hehe, just kidding!!

Puddin, the picture you have on page 5, the 'before' one, is that what you were looking like JUST before you had the lower body lift, or months before?

Sup babygirl? Ah, it's slowed... like immensely. MEN! I started dating someone fairly seriously. You know how it goes. Anyhow, I'll probably break up with him, though I've said this before, and then I can have more tri training time, lol! I did meet someone new, however, who is a MAJOR road cycler (story is on my blog, if you have access to it) and wants to cycle with me... that could help. Except he's a lot faster than I am. Punk.

How's your exercise going?

Puddin, how long did it take for all the swelling to go away after your lower body lift?

Psssst, I think you're doing the right thing breaking up with A, you are a woman who deserves the best from a man. Not to say that he seems bad, not at all, but he just doesn't seem to want to work for this as much as you do. I know you aren't perfect, you've made mistakes (we all have), but you are doing your best to correct your errors. In addition to conquering your demons, you should have a man befitting of your Phoenix status (a gorgeous bird rising from the ashes and spreading her wings).

Ohh I can't wait to read it. I really do enjoy your blog and I am rooting for ya! I agree with Faith on the whole A thing too.

My exercising is going very well. I bit it pretty bad yesterday while riding to work but I managed to get my bike fixed and out for a 20 mile ride this morning.

<p>Puddin, I had a lower body lift and breast aug w/lift on May 1st. My doctor wants me to wear the darn binder for three months! It is driving me nuts! It has started binding up on me. I don't really know how to explain it. A lady that I work with had a Tummy Tuck and her doctor made her wear the same exact one for just two months. What did you have to wear and how long? Thanks!</p>

Love reading your stories on here. You have done a great job with your weight loss! Plus i wish i had your hair! LOL , on a side note tho. Everyone goes through personal ups and downs. If life wasn't challenging where would the fun be? You live, you experience, and you learn. All in that order. What you were going through with your "sexual addictions" I did before I gained all the weight. Now that i'm a Fluffy girl with a family i slowed down. But i started slowing downing before i had my kids. I took alot of family help and help from friends for me to take a step back and look what i was doing. If i could get through it , you can get through it! MY goal now is to get through this lap band procedure and get my body back and get healthy again. I hope everything goes well for you hun *huggles*

      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!
