Looking for 70 year old member??



Recommended Posts

There was a woman (?) On here who was over 70 and having a sleeve done last month. I haven't seen her on here, and forget her name, but she always chimed in on posts and was super positive and excited. She even offended someone in a huge post about "being positive/did you go to the gym?" Lol! I removed myself from that post, so I can't find it!

Does anyone know how she did, or what her name was?? I really want to check in on her.

Thanks!

Are you thinking of Kakatlady? She's still around. She had a name change...she's Frust, now:) Might not be the same person, as she has not yet had her surgery...but she's still trying.

Yes, I realized that I have not seen any recent post from her either. It is possible she changed her name?

Hi I don't think I'm her. but I might be because I'm a preRnY but I got accused of chiming in too much, I accidently responded to,a lady who took umbrage with me, felt she had extends her query to post surg people only and basically told me to jump in the lake when i only tried to help. [emoji8] Oh the world is full of all kinds, I still wished her well even if our paths never cross again.[emoji26] If you ever want my,opinions on anything I'm usually lurking somewhere on B.P. just pull my chain and I'll be there! Okay?[emoji13] P.s. I am 72, red headed and spunky! Hoping for my surgery yet this spring, had to change programs (long story) but,praying this one comes through for me!

Yes, Frust8, it's YOU!! I'm glad your ok, I didn't know about the name change!
Sorry your surgery got delayed, I thought you had it a few weeks ago and since we had not seen you on, my mind was going all over the place! Glad to see you're okay!

Finer than frog hair, I'm like a Tommy Tipee cup or a Weeble, I may wobble but I don't fall down. I keep going on with my infantistimal losses, 2 pounds in a month. Feel like I'll lose more when Ohio's Weather,moderates and I can exercise more outside. Saw PCP yezterday, I have a sinus infection that won't leave. Here I sound like a old(well I sorta am) lady talking about her medicines and surgeries. We have gone from Augmentin to Clindamyacin and now we are trying Levaquin. I've had Levaquin before for something else. 3 bad things about that medicine: it would be expensive- expensive if I were,paying cash, luckily I have only $1.20 copay on it. 2. It leaves me looking like I have sunburned cheeks, medical term is "malar flush" and 3. You have to space it 2 hours before or after anything with Calcium or Iron including dairy products or the body doesn't utilize it. Wahhh! So now I have to figure where to fit it in for its once a day. I eat oatmeal in the morning, usually eat something like 1% or skim cottage cheese with either peaches or pears for lunch, they are usually Water or splenda juice packed, oh I will figure out something. At least I don't have to space it between Water and Protein Shakes post surgery. When I blow my nose I wonder if maybe that Barbie woman was right, maybe I am rotten inside! I have a 2 hour presurgical psych appointment with OSU staff psychologist Dr Kramer at Martha Morehouse Pavilion in Columbus on April 25th. A little scared, a little apprehensive they won't like me, find me unworthy, tell me I'm too old and that it is silly at my age to seek surgery. Am I expected to sit in my rocking chair or even worse a wheelchair fat, tired growing weaker and fatter until the Death Angel comes and claims me as his Own? Nope this old broad is leaving kicking, squalling at the top of her lungs and causing a general disturbance. That's the way I came into this world, at that time it was clothing optional, but I will not fade away and I intend to remain fully clothed unless there is a very good reason for removing them. Dang it I get COLD! Beside at my age there aren't too many offers, I have trouble hearing sweet nothing's whispered in my ear, even if I do I'm not sure I'm too interested. My body is now mine, no touchie no feelie without my permission. They can touchie feelie me while I'm in surgery but I will be checking afterwards for excessive fingerprints on my personal regions. May even ask they forego the urinary catheter, I have 3 natural kidneys and I'd have no trouble producing and voiding urine. If they want me up to walk they can just walk me to the bathroom. Don't you feel sorry for my future surgeon? After being burned by my previous program to the point of scarring I will be strident, militant and no longer gullible as I was! My mamma,may she rest in peace, raised me to believe if you treated people nicely they would be nice in return. Wrong, ex-program never read that manual. So just call me H*** on Heels,when I land I may with all 4 sets of claws extended. Treat me decent, treat me kind, Give me my surgery And everything will be fine! A little poem for everyone there. Thanks for caring about me, I'll try to make you proud but bottom line--I'll try to,make ME proud too,[emoji70][emoji12]

      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! 🤣
