I was looking at the logo to see if it looked like a pig?????

All I noticed was, (maybe I am color blind)is that is looks like two different colors of blue and yellow letters? am I wrong? So if Alex approves,and we want it to look like the website, shouldn't we get the printers to copy these colors? Also, Whippledaddy says,"So happy to hear of your loss" we might also put, "So happy to be a loser".

I have contacted a friend here in my home town, just to see what the minimum order is. They are really pretty cheap at T-shirts. Even if you go with someone else, I am just pricing to see what this might cost, and how many you have to buy as a minimun order. Please don't think I am taking over, I am a purchasing agent and when I heard this the wheels started rolling. I just wanted to help.

Hey,

The people just called me back. There is a minimum order of 12 shirts. Pricing goes by how many colors you use. It would be 12.50 per shirt. She didn't mention if I bought larger sizes. If Alex approves this, I will re-ask. But this give you an idea of what they would cost from here anyway. I don't know what shipping would be to each person, but that is an added expense. It would be $1.00 cheaper if we don't have a pocket. So if it gets approved maybe someone else would want to price them where they are and compare costs.

BIG "FAT" LOSER

ME TOO!!! That is too cool.

Terry: Don't worry about the checking on prices. I am glad that someone did that. I was going to check around here and see what the cost would be as well. Hopefully I can do that by the first of next week.

What color shirt did you ask for? Also, I don't think we need a pocket on the shirts. I know I don't care for one.

I would like a good quality shirt that isn't thin but has some meat to it. Ya Know what I am saying?

I agree about the quality and the pocket. I think the cheapest might not be good for large people. But when I priced them, I just ask about a minimum. So let me know what you find out and I will ask this other lady I know also. I live in a fairly small town, and we have a lot of competition on sports t-shirts so maybe I can jew them down if we need more than 12. We will see. Everyone needs to have and "input" on what you would like to have printed on the back and maybe a vote on the colors or whatever.. That is pending the ok to do this....:)

Terry good idea on the voting.

I will put up a separate post for the voting.

LOOK for "T-Shirt Voting" thread.

      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
