I try to get advice/opinions/thoughts from members of this site who have had surgery and been successful. I really do not think I'm qualified to hand out advice, as my surgery is 3 weeks away. I have posted to treads about which I have experience....protein shakes, insurance hoops, etc. Just my thoughts. I wish success to all!

Here's some more food. You just cast the entire 50' date='000 plus membership here as spineless sheeple who check the likes leaders before they dare to confront. Did it occur to you that a high likes number could possibly indicate a great deal of caring and support given over an extended period of time? The people I believe you are referring to earned their popularity by answering the same questions with compassion over and over and over. The popular kids in High School many times worked hard to achieve. Then we had the lazy butts like me who would rather criticize and slander than pitch in and help. It is not a matter of popularity, it is a matter of earned respect.[/quote'] Really didn't know it was that serious. I thought we were all here to support each other-didn't know there was a rank and file system. Let's not act naive about the popular high school kids. Most of them did nothing to "earn" their popularity.

Sweet baby jeezus on a mountain top.

Butter, this sounds a lot like the lady, or was it a man, that was flirting with countryabs (I can't remember her name). Hmmm...I'm beginning to wonder if that was really you who made a fake account pretending to be her! Hmmmm...very interesting indeed!

You brought popularity up as a factor in responses, not me. There is no rank and file system, please don't project your delusions on me.

My High School had quite a number of kids who were not rich, beautiful, promiscuous, athletic, or overly intelligent but yet well loved by students and faculty. They achieved it by friendliness and a willingness to serve. If your experience was contrary you have my sympathy.

Real mature that some people hijack this thread and fill it full of mindless bs in order to drown out the original posters message. People acting like a bunch of petulant highschoolers should be ashamed of themselves. Frankly I think the OP was giving that other person a dose of tough love. So go back under your bridges trolls and stop bringing the community down to your level.

      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!
