Hi,

I can't come, my youngest is getting married. Weddings are expensive, but I will be there in my heart. Just like last year, I poured over the pics and posts and drooled with jealousy that I couldn't go... But someday I will.....I don't mind, just be sure and post lots of pictures.

Terry

ok the last post on this was from april. So are the dates still Sept 9,10, and 11?

what hotel are you all planning to call to try and get a group rate at? can you post the name and phone number of the hotel? I am going to see if I can swing having that weekend off ( I am also a weekend bookkeeper and the books can't not be done for three days~have to make sure that my back up can cover for me). I want to try and fly in. I will be coming from Reno, NV. Its a 45 min plane ride as compared to an 8 hour car ride. I am going to be banded on July 26, so I will try and pack up some of my clothes that will be too big for me by then to take with me in a second suitcase. If I can talk my boyfriend Harry( he is also my support person)into going too I am sure I can use one of his suitcases too to bring more clothes. YIPPEE!! If Harry can't make it I, too will be looking for a roommate. :eek WARNING: I do snore!

LMAO Tina.... Are you sure you aren't just looking at page 1 of the post? There are 5 pages of posts. Last ones I see are June.

Anyways.... I must tell everyone. I can not go to Vegas in Sept. Sorry, I have to work and can't get the time off. Everyone have a GREAT time though! Someone drink a Margarita for me!

Jenna, we all got your message. Voo and Sachi were listening to you say hi to them, that was the sweetest. Sorry you can't come, you'll be missed.

Vera here is the website for the device. I gave an extra to a patient last we and she loves it. they are not for everyone, but not expensive either. My situation is beyond Breath Right Strips. DH was sleeping upside down in bed to get further away without leaving the room altogether. LOL! I would love to come to Vegas when a date i set.

(slight hijack) Sue, are you sure you don't have sleep apnea? if you are snoring this badly, you NEED to get it checked out. It's potentially life threatening.

Trish, that's the coolest thing I ever did see at LBT! How the heck did you do that, and will you make me something cool for my signature?

I cut and pasted this from Penni way back: "OK here goes. September 9, 10, and 11 weekend in Vegas for the BASH is set in stone. Plan accordingly."

Penni, is this still accurate? I guess I should know which weekend to clean the house and polish Sachi's nails for company.

You can bring anything or nothing... I will be doing a huge salad bar and poo-poo platter (appetizer finger food type things.) Trust me, nobody - I mean nobody - has ever gone hungry at my house.

Just think of my place as Hippy Haven where anything goes! Come barefoot, drunk, naked...

Actually, the only thing I'm not into is drugs (unless my Doc prescribes them, then Oh Yeah!) So just hide your Ganja and party till you puke. Okay, don't really puke, but let your hair down or shave it off if you gotta but just come on in and have a good time.

      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

      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!
