I was at the patio chairs at side of Starbucks by grass. I would occasionally get up and look around for people and check the patio right outside Starbucks door. I arrived at 6:10 and waited until 7:30 before leaving. I was by myself the entire time.

I never cancelled and am truly confused as to where the idea came from.

The location issue is another reason why iam sure arch of a better meeting spot. The spectrum is nice but parking is difficult.

I said that I couldn't come. Im just one person. It is not unusual to have some bumps when any group gets started. I hope that we can have some grace for each other as we go through these changes. Along with body changes, my emotions change with the wind lately. July 2nd is a good time for me and I will show-up. :)

I look forward to seeing you. How is it going? I have been super tired lately. I'm making sure I get my Vitamins in.

I'm kind of scared reading about other peoples post issues. I'm ok though. I have about 15 lbs to lose before my surgeons visit. That is going to be 3 weeks before surgery. Working full time while getting ready is tough but I can do this. How are you doing with your Protein?

I can't say you will be issue free but all in all the issues aren't too bad. It is a major surgery. Rest and Fluid and movement are your basics. I vomited for the first 24 hrs and survived just fine. What ones bother you?

I had 75 g yesterday and working up today. I have been introducing foods. Just had cheese and deli turkey. No problems.

Biggest post sx key is sipping. Constant sipping.

It sounds like you are doing well with your Protein. I guess I'm afraid of complications. I've never even had stitches. I'm glad that I've had so much pre-op testing. You've had the sleeve, right? It's been a few days of incorporating food, how are you doing? Are you back at work? That is something that concerns me, I have to work but...this is my life and I need to take the right amount of time after surgery. Have you found a place to meet on 7/2 yet?

I just got back from a mini vacation in Laughlin. I've been eating soft foods for a few days now.

I've had 2 c-sections and a few other surgeries. I can talk to you more in person about what it's like.

I will find a place very soon.

We could sit inside too, I know there is booths and chairs but not sure about arms. I can check for you, don't want you to have to do that.

No worries I was going that way for a sale ;) The chairs have arms but I'll ask to bring an inside chair out. I'm use to this but one thing I won't miss. See you Wednesday!

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      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
