Nope, Central Ohio( Mount Vernon) hey I'm better than nothing and I have no adverse anti- mistake by the Lake prejudices. I think I rock without the Halle of Fame. FYI if she's still active Crazee Connie was from Ashtabula and had surgery in Cleveland, there are also ActiveX in NW Ohio , Dayton, West Chester, Zanesville, Columbus as well as" getting Littler" Me.

I grew up in Bellevue Ohio, near Sandusky and Cedar Point. Went to college at University of Toledo and upon graduation I moved down to Columbus. I lived in Columbus for a few years before I moved out here to PHX. The only things I miss about Ohio are the early fall when all the trees are changing colors and air is fresh and cool and the other thing is fishing on Lake Erie. My mom had a boat we docked out of Marblehead. I was somewhat of a local legend when it came to perch fishing. I miss those days. However, I do not miss freezing my nut sack off in negative temperatures scraping the ice off my car just to drive to work.

And you have hit on the" Fly in the ointment "of Buckeye and indeed Midwestern living. Dismal at times skies, cold tempratures that seem forever, treacherous,walking on ice, snow that doesn't stop with Lake Effect ( our friends around Buffalo NY have this in Spades also) but many of us when Spring and Summer. come get temporary amnesia and forgive the weather fairies their manifest sins! And we do have glorious. autumns and so do our cousins in New England. I liked it so much more before a spoil- sport told me those were the leaves dying gasps before they fall to the ground and turn into compost. Always at least one☁on a sunny☀ day!

You're just a Snow Belt Snowflake, aren't you? Nothing wrong with that, very pretty area of Ohio.
A story for you, found it necessary to consult a Cleveland lawyer, one of those on the 28th floor on Superior. Took my daughter along, an adult although she seldom acts it. Kept looking north behind the receptionists head " Is that Lake Erie? Is that REALLY Lake Erie?" Thought the receptionist was going to fall off her chair laughing, finally turned to my doofus first- born, all I could. say was " Girl we Have Got to get you away from home more often!" She was nearly 40 years old and still embarrasing Me! I'm sure she had been to Cedar Point, didn't She Think there was Water in Lake Erie past Sandusky?

      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.
