PJTP - Happy Wednesday! The sun is rising and the air is dry.

Apparently I had intended to take this day off of work; I forgot that until I signed in this morning. How sad is that - I forgot I was taking a day off.

I am also a newbie with only a few posts. Just remember that we were all newbies at one point, so while our posts may ramble it is probably because we are hungry, tired, and desperate for info that our too-busy surgeons office couldn't answer in a timely manner, so we find ourselves on here seeking the experience of those who have gone before us. I sure all of you that have had your bands for awhile once had the same silly questions we (newbies) have.

i wouldn't take anything here personal, there's a lot of silliness & advice, in the postings. i think this thread has those from every stage of the lapband process represented (sleeved 2!), in fact a few pages back from this one - you'll see advice given to SNT who gets her band tomorrow.

since it is the rant & rave forum - you'll get some complaints; but you'll also find many posting here also on answering a LOT of newbie questions from the home page.....congrats on the band!!!

Ohhhh, as I avoid the political threads at all costs, I was missing the 'calm, rational discourses and fulsome discussions of viewpoints respecting all individuals and their opinions'!

Thanks Luluc!

I agree; we're definitely not talking about a newbie right now! I have to stay away from the political threads b/c of the one. She can post 3x to my 1! I Tivo "The View" but fast forward through Elizabeth Hasselbeck's crap. I want to reach through the TV and slap her! My mom says she's so sanctimonious!

I definitely appreciate the veterans. I'm very nervous about tomorrow more so about the pain and being on liquids for 3 weeks than about the actual surgery!!! I began liquids yesterday and was starving all doggone day. Today it's better, thankfully. :regular_smile:

      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!
