min-pin - dh and i also thought colleen would have lost more weight - but she did look beautiful & happy .... they all did.

question - did anyone else sit and try to guess their weight before the number came up? i'd hit pause and try & guess....and boy was i OFF on a lot of them. i have no concept of how much i weigh and how i look to others, because i don't see it. i would really loved to have know their heights. i have issues...LOL:tongue2:

DH would call it and nail the weight on the head. He does that through the season, too. I didn't know he could tell so easily! I'm always way off w/the weight guess thing. I can guess dress size, but not weight.

And, YES - Heba needed a bra! Even my 11-year old DD said that!

And, we hit the rewind button about 10 times when Vicki came out and fell. ha ha ha!!! Karma is great.

I am very good at knowing what little things weigh. People not so much.

I was very disappointed that Heba won any money. I think she was the power behind the throne and, in some ways, just as bad as Vicky.

I was also surprised the Colleen didn't lose more. I was a tad disappointed, in fact. Colleen started lower than me but I started watching the show when we were around the same weight and so I had this little competition going with her every week when she'd weigh in. (Until she got eliminated and I stopped watching.)

      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!
