I finally deleted my OH account. I just couldn't take it anymore. After getting attacked in the middle of a thread last night, I decided that OH just wasn't worth the stress of basically always having to watch my back. I'd thought about doing it before, but decided that I could just avoid the threads with the feuding. But how do you avoid someone popping up in the middle of a random thread and going off on you?

I lurk over there also and I noticed that you deactivated your membership. I spend most of my time here though LOL. I have never posted at OH. I guess I missed most of the drama but I did see the thread where you were attacked and I am so sorry you had to go through that. They are convinced that those two IDs in question are the same person but we, of course, know they are not. I am most definitely glad you are still active here on LBT. Keep on rantin' and ravin'. Hugs to you.

Oh and I forgot to add. Every board needs a forum like this to rant, rave, and debate in. It keeps the drama from bleeding into all the other forums.Don't you agree?

Oh, yeah. I think that's the whole problem with OH. There isn't any place for people to release tension, so they take it out on everyone else. Here at LBT, we know that the drama will stay in RnR. You don't have to keep your eyes peeled for people that don't like you, because just about everyone knows how to keep RnR separate from the support sections.

Yeah, I saw the attack too and I'm thinking, "Where the hell did that come from?" I have been over there for a while too, but the format is easier to understand for me. I guess LBT doesnt have the option to switch the Bump feature. But anyway, it is hard to weed out the nice people from the mean ones. OH is nothing but a bunch of clicks, but I love going there because they do more for me than my nut/surgeon/therapist all put together, minus the fills. But Good Luck in your future.

To be honest, that's exactly what I was thinking when it happened.

Now I have to go over there and read what happened. Will the whole thing be deleted now that you deleted your account? Did you post with the same name? I hardly ever go there because I hate the format.

The only reason I ever go there is because the girl that was banded the same day I was by my doctor goes there. I have to click on my friend's list

(which I only have 3) to read her blog.

I have no idea. I haven't been back to look, mainly because I hate their format, too.

I did post with the same name over there.

I was wondering about the "OH" bit meant too.

I had no idea when I tagged myself with OH Juli. However mine is due to the fact I live in Ohio.

And in American Sign Language, I'm always, signing "OH" instead of "I get it." I work with Deaf folk.

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      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.
