Recommended Posts

Yea I got a canker sore also on the inside of my upper lip and figured it was from the tubes. I started puréed foods Sunday and let me tell you...it was the best ever lol. So glad to be off Clear Liquids. Now I'm looking forward to soft foods.

Hey there! I was admitted back to the hospital. The Friday after my surgery on the 2nd, I came down with a really bad cold that turned into feverish chills on Friday. They have continued until last now. My husband drove me to the ER yesterday. My white blood cell count is very high and I'm showing signs of and infection somewhere. they'll be doing a endoscopy or something along those lines tomorrow morning. They're thinking maybe there was a small leak that healed itself but that has left fluids in my abdomen. I should know more today. I'm not worried, but I'm freaking out for my kids and my mom! My parents leave for South Africa on Saturday. I will keep you in the loop.

Good for you!!! That's awesome!!

I was sleeved on Feb 11th and I'm down almost 60 lbs and I'm down to a size 14 (when I started in Feb I was a size 22). I've gotten off 4 medications and I can actually walk up and down stairs without my knees hurting or being out of breath. I get up early every morning to walk with my husband and our dog. What an amazing difference my life is now.

I just keep remembering what my doctor told me: If you don't change your habits and get more active, you won't lose the weight like you plan to.

I was sleeved on February 17, and I'm down 65 pounds from my highest weight. I'm off of two medications and I move around much more easily. So happy that I had surgery. I feel so much better.

I started at a very high weight, I'm off of all blood pressure Meds, soon to go off last diabetic Med., and all other Meds for nerve damage they have me on a third of the dose. I have been diligent about the Protein first and have eaten very little starch products. I m still working to get the Water intake up. When I do drink water it's usually electrolyte water because my potassium drops to low quickly. Other than that I'm way more active than I have been in a long time.

      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
