Recommended Posts

Hi All!

I was sleeved today, about 6 hours ago. I’m feeling pretty great, I don’t feel like an elephant is sitting on me, or a ton of gas pain. I just sipped Water for the first time and it didn’t hurt at all!

After battling the insurance company I finally have my full approval. 👍🏻 My Surgery is May 7. Looking forward to the next phase.

Congratulations Dubbs it couldn't happen to a finer critter. Where will you be having your surgery? Now that you have an exact date, you can finish getting ready for the big Day. Boy you have such a short time to wait, that's next Monday. Please remember to update us when its all over, okay?😝

Well it could be done in Sturgis, of course you might wake up,with a biker tattoo, the operating technicians would be a biker gang,
But Sioux Falls sounds like a credible location,and I m sure they will,do fine by you. I will have my surgery, a RnY at OSU.in Columbus Ohio, when- only God Knows

Doing well over here. Just to my IV fluids for a leisurely stroll. Had a tiny bit of the pumpkin Soup they brought me, and will try some formulite Meal Replacement shake later today. I'm expecting a few visitors later today so may now post again until tomorrow.

Wishing everyone being sleeved now and soon the best of luck and rapid healing. 😍

My surgery is May 3rd and I’m officially nervous and having a lot of anxiety. I have been having trouble sleeping and having weird dreams. I honestly can’t wait for this to be over because my nerves are getting the best of me. . I’m I the only one?

I'm on May 3rd too and just like you anxious. All the best to you!

Yeah I spent a lot of time,in and around Westervile. When my k8ds were little we,lived across from Sharon Woods Metro Park. While my daughter would be at school I would load the baby,in a stroller, the older boy in a Gerry backpack and we would walk the road ( Shtick Road) into,Westerville, shop and walk back home. I was in my early-mid 30s,and saw nothing wrong with that. Now there is so,much,busy traffic on that Road, Cleveland Ave and Westerville Rd, it wouldnt be safe. But this was 35+ years ago. 😝🌷

Oh sure I do, has your mom sent you any Cheryls Cookies, used to shop their retail store in the French Market. Funny about that place, there was a large pretty courtyard with a lot of very nice shoppes around the perimeter. Had a wonderful Gyro shop there as well. It was quite the shopping destination in the 70s, expected it would be there forever, went there more. than Eastland, Westland and Northlake all of which are pretty defunct,as well. Anyway there was also a beautiful. bunch of townhouse apartments as well as apartments over top of the perimeter shoppes. It was called the Continent, pretty high price rentals. Well in the years since we went and moved away many stores left, the apartments remain. but they are attracting the wrong part,of clientele. A year or so a man held his ex-girl friend and their children hostage, before the police could defuse the situation he shot,and killed the mother in front of the small children. The hotels that once cartered to families,traveling and vacationing there became hotbeds of prostitution, and several have been boarded up. Guess I lived in a neater sweeter time in Suburban Columbus.😪

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      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.
