Worst comment you've heard so far

I've also told people I did it because I needed to be healthy (see below), and the weight loss is an unfortunate side effect to the surgery. Get lots of puzzled looks on that one.

Diabetes has sadly taken all of the members of my maternal side. I refuse to be part of the same statistics, having been diagnosed with diabetes and metabolic syndrome, over 5 years ago. Many were aware of the problems I was having with my health. I always thought I wasn't a candidate so I didn't inquire until I saw an episode on Dr. Oz and from there my journey began...... I am now only on thyroid medication....4 weeks out, life is good and my mission was accomplished. Now I have to put up with this awful side effect called "losing weight." Smiling big! :D

I was going to say there is nothing lazy about having the surgery....All the prep you have to do before and what you have to do to make the sugery successful..My dr. told me the surgery is a tool...one that I have to take good care of...I get so pissed when people critize me for what I did to help better myself...

They just don't know how much we suffered/ suffer everyday. Before with the weight and illnesses and now with trying to use the tool to make us healthy so we can be 'normal'.

It makes me angry and sad. Easy way out. Blah. I will refrain from swearing.

I am 6 weeks post OP and my father gave me a hug the other day and told me that he was glad he finally got his daughter back. As if I was hiding in a fat suit before oye. I told my husband and he said I should have asked my father

when I was going to get my dad back as my dad is very overweight right now. Just makes you wonder what people really thought about you before. Sad

Mine happened over the holidays' date=' we were at a family members house for christmas and the minute I walk in the door I get dirty looks for a younger member of the family who also herself is overweight...well of course I didnt get to voice what i would like to have for the meal, so they made lasanga, ok that was fine but I of course can not eat pasta..So I made do and pick the one that had the cheese on it and picked through it with out eatting the Pasta part with some added cottage cheese, so I could get my protien. and I had some pudding from a desert that was made by gave my husband the chocolate that was on top...So still keeping with in the guidelines of my food intake. I get home and my son was upset about something so I talk to him and he told me the family members were in the kitchen bad mouthing me and that I was lying about what I can and can not eat...Now this didnt upset me because I knew and expect this reaction..But what was hurtful was that they did this in front of my son and he doesnt understand why they had to be so negative. I tried to explain to him that it didnt bother me but I could tell it really hurt.[/quote']

Wow. This actually managed to disgust me. I'm sorry this happens in your family

      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!
