LOL, I never thought that much about the "coconuts", I guess I can always go to be with a bra but I'd be uncomfortable with a panty girdle on holding my big muffin top in.:thumbup:

I tease and say that for me to buy a bra I would have to roll them up to put the bra on. Or when i'm bent over and look down at them I feel like someone should just come and milk me...they look like utters...got milk...lol

Sorry guys...been MIA for a while. I haven't been doing so hot lately. I am going to try to do better. I'll post my food later today.

It's okay Georgia, I'm not here to judge, just to be accountable to myself. We are in this together and we CAN and we WILL get through this journey.

Be blessed,

Gloria

Congrats on the Tummy Tuck, tlamb.

I want one so bad ,but can't afford it. I asked the dr about Lipo and he said that a TT would be better and that he would help me all he could with my insurance co.(BCBS). Is your insurance covering yours? Hope I'm not being too nosey.

Thanks! I cant wait! Unfortunately I do not have insurance anymore. BCBS covered my lapband when I had it (I was still on my parents Ins.) My tummy tuck (extended) is $9030 for EVERYTHING, and I will be paying that in cash :laugh: But I am being positive and I keep telling myself that it is all worth it..If I have to be poor as crap for the next year..well I will have a flat tummy :blushing:

Yes, BCBS paid for my lapband, too. That is really cheap for a complete TT. I haven't really been pricing them, but I would love, love, and did I say love? to find a dr to do mine for that price. I wish you all the best and you won't be lacking (poor) in anything except the tummy part. LOL

Well I decided to have a late lunch so that I hopefully wouldn't need to eat until dinner, had a ham and cheese toasted sandwich, cut into quarters ate about a quarter and realised it wasn't going anywhere fast *rolls eyes* so after being stuck for about half an hour had a cup of tea and then ate some noodles for lunch about 11.15 so that's all I've had so far, as for dinner no clue yet.

Hi everyone! Thought I'd let ya'll know that I have a leak in my band, UGH!!!. I've been thinking I had a leak for over a year now. It's a slow one, but it's getting worse. I went to get a fill yesterday and I was missing 1.5cc (in a 4 week span). This explains why I am able to eat like a cow after only a week of restriction following my fills. I go back in 2 weeks to measure again and then I'll know more.

They added 2 cc's yesterday, so I am pretty tight right now. Looks like I'll be on liquids a while.

Hope everyone has a good day!

      April Surgery
      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.
