Divorce after plastic surgery and/or bariatric surgery

its horrible for you to have to go through all this. The sacrifices that are made just to be healthy and not overweight are lost on people in general. No one thinks that an obese person is giving up anything in order to lose this weight. You are evidence of some of the harsher things that get sacrificed. I truly wish you well and wish you did not have to undergo this. You have your chin up and will to succeed , that I can see. You are a string person now and I wish you the best, in everything.

@@glgk30 it sounds like it's his problem not yours, but so sorry that you have come so far to discover this-what did he think would happen?I agree that you must be a strong person to have accomplished all that you have in order to get a TT & liposuction. I wish you continued strength & perseverance to get through this, but don't let him take away your accomplishments.

It sometimes feels

Like this relationship is the biggest battle. Wondering if I won't be a statistic. I flirt I did at my heavyset weight heck I started at 13 and never stoped. Had a huge overly dramatic fight for flirting with the old guys at the Feed store. Same flirting we have done for 10 years. He asked me when was I gonna marry him and I asked him how bigs that diamond? We do this all the time. In front of my other half. I turn around and wtf she's drove off and left me!!! Not a joke. I played it off as it was a joke to not embarrass this man. Lord give me strength. I had a moment. I own everything the ranch the cars the trucks. She would have to move to her parents and live on disability. That was almost the straw that broke the camels back. # week one # weak one

      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!
