I have not, but I had my gallbladder out and already know that if you have gas pain, it’s no joke.

You have to walk. The only way to get rid of the gas.

My date has finally been set to Jan 28th 2019. I signed up September 2017. Ya.. tell me about it. It's been a long awaiting time. They kept pushing me back .. pushing me back.. darn cpap issues. They said I was not wearing it enough. So if you use a CPAP- wear it. Now after getting my surgery date and getting insurance to accept it .. my insurance has closed the account because the surgeon never signed the paper work. Errrggg. one thing after another. Every time I think I got it.. it just gets pushed back more. Am I excited, yes, its always on my mind now. But the question is.. will it happen?

I had to get prepared!! I needed to vet my boys' things ready and minr since they be staying with my parents while I'm in the hospital then I'm going to my mom's for a few days so I have someone around to help if need be. What time is yours? Mine is 11am. I'm really ready for tomorrow to hurry up and be over. I want to get this done! I'm not even nervous just excited. How about you?

My VSG is scheduled for January 7th, 2019. I have to get it done before school starts up, which is January 14th. Is anyone else celebrating getting a surgery date like I am!?

My surgery is 1/7 too! Lots of luck on your journey

      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!
