People, people.....! Please move on! No matter how much each of you rant and rave, you are not going to get everyone to agree with you!! You are all starting to sound like lunatics! (although I must admit that I am reading this thread several times a day to see who pops up next with a counter attack). No one here is an EXPERT and each and every one of us has his or her opinion...and you know what they say about opinions....Everyone on here has made some valid points (except for the name calling which is totally immature). No one is totally right and no one is totally wrong. Some are arguing just for the sake of arguing. Why don't you all name a time and place, meet and face each other and duke it out until the last man or woman is standing and he or she will be the winner! I will sell the tickets for this event!:smile2::eek::lol::eek:

Why? I think this thread points out the head stuff we go through during weight loss. The skewed thinking, the messed up way we do things. Our own personal prejudices.

If you don't want to read, don't pop in several times a day, just click on by. That's the great thing about message boards. You read what you want and ignore the rest. If it doesn't serve your purposes, don't read it. But why stop others from posting?

Only when I am right. ;o)

Seriously, why do you want mods to run around closing threads? Why not just skip by them instead of opening it several times daily to get updates?

Instead of wagging that finger why not answer the question?

Seriously??? Because it makes me laugh! Oh, and I am SO sorry about that "last word" comment. guess I Was TOTALLY wrong about that one...And of course you are RIGHT and EVERYONE ELSE is wrong because you have been officially crowned "Queen of the Lapband World"! I bow to Thee as should all others on this board. But SERIOUSLY, when did I say anything about "mods closing this thread"? You no more have the right to tell me to skip this thread than I have the right to tell you not to no longer post here . And who's telling who not to "open it any more to get updates"? Puhleeeze, why not follow your own advice and move on? Oh, I forgot...because you're RIGHT! and I am definitely not "wagging" my finger at you.

This thread has become like a multiple car accident - you know you should keep driving, but you have to stop and look.

Although there may have been a lot of different information for thought, it has been repetitive and now doesn't seem to serve any purpose but to spew anger.

Agnes has made her decision. Whether or not you agree, let's wish her good luck on journey and move on.

just wondering... have many of you gotten really cranky and moody (esp the first 28 days) b.c you are only on liquids? I can see that being frustrating, however I am prepared!

I enjoyed a delicious cheed danish with my coffee yesterday, which i normally would never buy! LOL

      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
