I would love to be on the Facebook group!!! Stardustjdb@hotmail.com. Jessica baker Thompson on fb. I've tried a couple times but can't find it and haven't been added. I am losing my hair like crazy. The past month has been awful. 11/27/12 down 60lbs 26" since I measured 4wks ago. I am at a stall or losing/gaining 3lbs. Frustrating. Hope I'm not done losing. Would love to be 160 but dr said dig deep and had me set goal at 140. 187lb today. I hate Protein Drinks. Getting all my Vitamins and really try to get all my fluids. It's a battle w food daily but I love the new me and am not going back. Everyone is doing well. Love reading your posts!

Hi All! Hope all is well. I think my hair is falling out too. sigh... I thought I was going to avoid it but no such luck. I am down 57 from surgery and have been gaining and losing three pounds. Stuck at 205. Onederland is teasing me. I am a bit frustrated. Last week was not good. Back on the treadmill this morning and I am keeping up the fight.

BTW, The November FB group is awesome. Thanks Crystal

Anyone else have a pouch that is picky about the time you eat? The last couple of days have been hectic and I've been eating supper later then I like to... then about dying after... its not that I'm eating anything I shouldn't or haven't tried yet so the only thing I've been able to narrow it down to is that its a couple hours later then I would normally eat... thank God for papaya enzyme... they do help!

Yes mines is picky. Certain food goes down easy today and not tomorrow . Oh well I guess.

      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!
