Well, I've been on here a long time and I hate it when some people get on here who are new, probably couple of months, usually not even banded, and been able to vote maybe 3 of 4 years if they're lucky and act like they know the difference between Dems and Rebuplicans. I won't wast e my time with you. You just LOVE arguments and I just don't have the time. So, when you grow up, learn some things, get banded, give me a yell until then leave me the hell alone. I won't be back to this immature, uninvolved, worthless, uninspring, useless thread.

There, fight with someone else.

Older, Banded, Rebulican and know what I'm talking about.

What does being old and banded have to do with whether or not you know what you're talking about? "Ooh, I'm older than you! That means I know everything and no one should contradict me! Neener, neener, neener!" Seems to me that you are the one who should grow up.

You really shouldn't start something if you're just gonna hold your breath, stomp your feet, throw a fit, and then run.

By the way...to the rest of the posters on this thread...my parents are Baptists, I grew up Baptist and this guy does NOT speak for all Baptists!

Thank you, Musicalmomma!

What's all this threatening to leave stuff? What's up with that? Do you think you're punishing people?

Oh for goodness sake! Isn't this called LapBandtalk? I don't recall it being called politicalcandidatetalk. I think it's great that this board does allow discussions of a political and religious nature (many other places will delete threads about politics and religion), but I would hope folks don't get so wound up over a simple political discussion that arrows start flying and people start threatening to leave. It's awesome that there are subforums here for people to discuss things other than just the band, but it is a discussion, everyone has different views, that's what makes the world go 'round. When someone starts a thread, especially of a political or religious nature, there is always going to be someone who believes differently than you do. And since this is a forum, there will be contrary responses.

I think it is ridiculous when people post these politically charged things and then get nasty when people post their own opinions.

I won't be back to this immature, uninvolved, worthless, uninspring, useless thread.
You do know that you are only insulting yourself, right? Since you were the one to start this "immature, uninvolved, worthless, uninspring, useless thread" and all.

I'm older than all of you, have been banded the longest, and been voting for 40 years, so does that give me the final word on this topic?

I'm not sure you're older than I, but I will defer to you due to your vast knowledge base.

Ok. I give. What's the final word?

The final word is: Enough!!

Actually, I do not expect that to be the final word, but I am curious.

If the member who started the thread deleted the original post, wouldn't the whole thread be deleted?

Some forums work that way and some don't. Does anyone know how the LBT forum software works in that case?

So because there are people here who disagree with your opinion you are just going to erase your original post and huff off in a tantrum? Maybe you are older than me but you are acting just like my 3 year old.

Younger, Banded, Republican and know what I'm talking about.

Well since the original post was edited for content, it seems moot for the moderators to let this thread continue running. What to respond to????

That's adult. You don't like what people say, so you go back and basically delete your original comment.

      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
