EbonyRose you sure have a way with words! My feelings about BBK's sharing too!

BBK....I no longer can claim TOM due to being a hystersister! LOL

I know I have had many issues going on and the gain is just a bump in the road...

So...I just have to look up! My doc puts you on THREE DAYS of Clear Liquids after a fill so I am sure that the 3 lbs are gone gone gone.....what was your doc's after a fill routine? Just curious??? I am doing fine here on day 2 so, 1 more to go...I'll be cleaned out that is for sure!!

Take care of yourself...how are you anyway????

I am doing better thanks. This hunger though, sucks. I am back to protien bars to fill me up. :crying:

My Dr does 1 day liquids, 2 days mushies and back to regular food. Not too bad. I usually have to take a few extra days of mushies. My body is very sensitive to fills.

That is interesting...I am DONE with liquids this time...mushies or food in the morning...although, I usually do a Protein Shake for breakfast.....an old habit which works with my schedule...

Protein Bars are good I just have to watch the carb count...I try and stay under 15 grams a bar or less. (after subtracting the fiber)

Well, I am glad you are hanging in there...I think I may have finally gotten some restriction...I'll keep my fingers crossed...

How are your scars doing? My port one is VERY ugly and still maroon or purple??

Am--scars are nasty, very purple. I hate them! :mellow: I was going to spend some dough and get some cream from the plastic surgeon but since he is going to have to completely revise me, what is the point? :tongue2:

Plain--it is better, thanks. :cool2: Doesn't hurt now unless I bump it!

Thank you. I have to say that dress was so close to the body, I felt naked. BUT I pulled it off and then was happy I did it. DH zipped me in it that morning and I freaked and wanted it off. He wouldn't unzip it, so I had no choice. By the end of the day, I owned it! :lovechoc:

GREAT NEWS!

Hello all, well week 3 unfilled is OVER and week 4 is about to begin. Well I have not gained weight, in fact I have lost 2. :thumbup: My worries were unwarranted in that regard.

I also can call this week to schedule the fill to see if the slip has fixed itself.

But the post itself is now completely healed I believe. It sticks out only a small tiny bit now! WOOO HOOO! I can feel it and it is about the size of quarter or less. It no longer hurts to touch and the spot under the ribs where it came from has finally settled down as well. I am very happy with the new port itself. I guess we will really get to see how it functions when I get the fill.

I have been able to keep myself away from my demons, like Hostess King Dongs. I am so proud of myself. They have been on sale everywhere I go...rotfl.... :mellow: NONE for me! :wink_smile:

BBK: Congratulations! I hope that all is well with your band! Are they going to do your fill under floruscope? I had mine filled that way this week and it was great and btw my band is fine, too.

BBK: It's definetly worth it. They can see how your band is sitting and how it reacts to a fill, plus they can fill you to a better place because they can see the restriction. I hope it works out for you!

      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.

      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! 🤣
