Yea i feel like as the days go by....my anxiety levels raise a bit..i just keep thinking about next year this time im gonna be a whole diffrent me. Honestly girl idk what to expect.. what are my relationships gonna be like with my friends and family...i havent told anyone not even my boyfriend/bestfriend of 3 yrs...idk how or if i wanna...currently though he isnt in brooklyn but when he comes back ill look diff. Ill be.transforming before his eyes...where fam is concerned they are very judgemental i had a cousin who had some type of bariatric surgery and hasnt told a soul but everyone.knows and been talking about her so much she stop coming around and eventually moved....you should follow my journey though ill do the same ill be starting a youtube channel soon....so look out for that...anywhoooo good luck mama!!

I certainly will be following and I wish you the best of luck in your journey. Yes family and friends can be judgemental. Just have to tone people out and focus on the biggest picture ur happiness ur health and make sure u doing it for you. I use to want it for attention, hell I'm not ugly with it on or off. Then I had to find me and now I'm doing it because I don't want any health issue and I want to be here for my kids. So again good luck!

That is great! I didn't have a hernia. I have gas pains. These started after the nurse removed my drain. My god they are horrible. I've been walking and used gas-x. I pray that it stops soon.

      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!
