Seriously froggi I think I almost busted a stich when you quoted her...but you are right...I have liked you since I first met you. I honestly have to say that I believe that you will do FANTASTIC with the band. You have the right mentality and determination.

As for opening your mouth...I have learned to shut mine a bit more now, but earlier in life when people called me a bitch...I thanked them and thought it was a compliment. As a teacher...I have to be more diplomatic and it has spilled into everyday life. Though I have to say I really had to bite my tongue last night when someone told me that I shouldn't get a fill at all because I am at goal even though I am hungry. She told me that I should figure out where my hunger is coming from. Maybe it was in my head. This was on my "home" thread. But I replied with a very curt one liner and then I was done. Really had to fight myselt to not just throttle her.

Chickie, thanks so much for posting the links to your before and after pictures! You look amazing. You should be so proud!

I would love to read that entire article but the print is so small for my old eyes. Maybe I can read it earlier in the day when my eyes aren't so blurry. Is there anywhere it's printed in a larger font?

Oh man. So the only way I get to be a sucess story is to do only liquids? Are we STILL on that bandwagon?.....who is this person's Doctor? My Doc would slap me over the head if I told him that was my diet because thats all I could keep down and then he would immediately remove a lot of my fill!!

Its for reasons like that my doctor is afraid to give proper fills. He stresses it to no end every time im in his office. “You shouldn’t want to get so tight all you can consume are liquids, so Im only going to give you a small fill. I’ll give you .3cc” :)

He even sings songs about it, You know, the Blondie one…

Man from Mars I think it is – eating cars and trucks, no motorcycles… If you are looking at the screen right now like… “WTF?” Well, when you’re stuck on a highway in a traffic jam because several lanes are merging, what’s going to get through faster? Trucks & cars or motorcycles. Exactly.

Also, if we are to regurgitate our motorcycles as a means of training ourselves, then some of us don’t learn so quickly.

Some of us do and frankly don’t need to accent the fact we shouldn’t ever do “that” again.

Love your Docs use of that song as a metaphor LilMiss! That should be the LBT theme song!

LOL, yeah, picture it… you’re lying on the exam table with your shirt practically over your head and your surgeon is singing about eating trucks and cars.

He’s actually got a nice voice.

Which explains a lot, IMO.

      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!
