UPDATE YOUR STATS; it makes it easier for others to answer your questions



Recommended Posts

I accidentally double-posted another topic so I thought I'd erase that duplicated content and put something else in its place. Is this the best I could do? Apparently. Did I put much effort into thinking of something else to post? Not really.

Anyway... in case you've forgotten how to update your stats (all the information under your username) try following these steps.

Make sure your dog, cat, or bird is watching so you can impress them. :)

1. Go to PATIENTS (top of page).

2. Select MY SURGERY.

3.a. Update the information under SURGERY

3 b. Select PROGRESS (see squiggly arrow on left side of screen) to update even more!

4. Paste a gold star in the middle of your forehead. Good job!

While you're at it.... upload a photo or an animation above your username.

If there's anything else you don't know, ask someone else. Just kidding. No, really. Ask someone else. I probably don't know.

No that's really a great idea ;)

I've asked a few times and I have a post in the suggestions forum for this very reason. None of the site staff have bothered to chime in though. Guess it's not a priority for them to have the site and app provide the same user experience.

That would take a qualified app developer, which they may not have, and from my user experience across multiple app platforms that seems to be the case...

That's entirely possible, just wish someone would speak up from the site... I can't fathom having a forum specifically for asking for site help and then not having someone from the site bother to even take the time to acknowledge the post.

On the app yes (might just be the IOS app though, because even though @AshAsh1 has shown me screenshots, I cannot see any like / reaction information on the Android version of the app), on the website, no.

I personally think instead of saying "someone" reacted, it should just tell u who. Maybe I'm just more curious than most...lol. Who knows

Oh no, we can too. On the lower right where it might say 2💙 you hit that and it says like --MattZ and Orchids and Dragons liked your post. That's one thing they didn't forget.

Yes, on the app I can. I have an Apple phone. You tap on the emojis and it shows you.

      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!
