3 days till plastics tiiiime!



Recommended Posts

Thank everybody!! I think I've hit all the emotional stages and today I feel happy. Hopefully that can continue into tomorrow? I'm trying to get myself in the right mindset. Maybe it won't be that bad and maybe it will but I've researched enough that I shouldn't be surprised by it. It's happening so stressing about it is a waste of time. I should know by now I'm a pretty strong chick. I've made it this far and survived so I'm going to make it through this too!

@@kranky813 I will! I'm going to do the best I can while drugged up! I'm requesting right now that if I type out some crazy long weird post that we all just laugh (to ourselves) and never mention it again! I'm going to try to reframe from singing the "kitty" song from Big Bang Theory but I can't promise that. Now that I know I'm going to have a "flat kitty" it's inevitable that it will be brought up and HOPEFULLY I will not be intoxicated enough to share any pictures of such kitty. If I do we shall ignore them too!!!! LIKE.IT.NEVER.HAPPEND.

@@kranky813 Oh I guess I should have elaborated on the "breast stuff" I was originally going to get implants but after researching I (we) decided for the best results I would do a lift now and in 6 months augmentation if I feel I want them bigger....and I will because once she takes off the skin I'm not going to have much left. I can't live like that but we shall see.

@@Elode I will trade you!! I am going in for the TT and a lift and reduction. Even with the weight loss I am sitting at a DDD... Ugh the only problem is that those big beauties look directly at my toes!

Figured I need the new Tatas to go with the flat tummy and kitty :)

@@KindaFamiliar the flatter kitty was a added bonus i was not expecting.... I lost weight... Kitty lost weight... Win Win.... lol

@@kranky813 I was going to do a reduction when i had my TT, but got talked out of it. Now im happy i kept them. I have been lucky as my 34H's still point in the proper direction. lol

@@Elode Remember darling.... you are as prepared as anyone i know. You will Rock this girl.... Just remember to take it slow.... Ill send up a special prayer to the PS gods to keep your doctors hands true and steady...

Thank you all! Today is FLYING by! I got the call from the surgery center and I'm to be there at 10 am with surgery scheduled for 11:45-ish. She has me down for 275 mins. Geez! I'm ready for this to be over with!

Here's a little handy piece of advice I learned today. DO NOT under any circumstances go to Walmart the day before surgery. Had I not left at the precise moment I got to I would have ended up Losing my ENTIRE sh*t! I don't know if someone sent out a memo and informed everyone that If they'd like to see a live rendition of the exorcist with the whole head spinning and whatnots to head on over to the Walmart and get in my way.....continuously...as in non-stop. That's whole trip was a shit-show! Normally I don't get all worked up but today was NOT the day to stop instantly in front of me, block the entire isle so that you can talk to neighbor "Cathy" about her precious little unique snowflake of a child and their school projects, argue with the customer service lady for 20 minutes about how you were overcharged 3 cents per can on your 15 cans of tuna while there are 15 more people standing behind you with real world problems, then after FINALLY making it up to the counter the customer service girl decides it's time for her to take a break, whips out her "closed lane" sign and walks off. I could literally envision myself beating her to death with it. I just needed to sign a flipping paper. That's all, a paper! Soooo I went through the regular line and waited yet again. As soon as it was my turn I told the checkout girl "look lady" I'm not normally like this but if you would like me to not come out of character I would suggest you tell the manager to bring me that nifty little black book from customer service and I will sign it right here. I'm not going back through that line again so I'm just going to stand right here in your line until it's signed.....blank stares. So she did, I did, and it was over. I wasn't sure if I was going to scream or start crying. I think I was on the border of a nervous breakdown and then it hit me.....oh, surgery tomorrow. That's why I'm acting like a psycho! Once I figured that out I felt like I had to explain my whole life to "Monica" the cashier girl. Wether she wanted to hear it or not. I couldn't leave there with her thinking I was truly nuts now could I?! This stuff is stressful. Think I'll just lock myself in the house for the remainder of my time.....and breathe.....

Haha. Just another Tuesday at Wal Mart. I try to avoid that place the best I can for that reason.

I'll be thinking about you tomorrow. Please don't die. I kind of like you.

      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!
