Happy Fucking Tuesday

Man I am having a really freaking bad day.

Here's how my first revision appointment went.

1.  PA comes in and tells me I have to see Dr. Y (the surgeon) because he wants me to have RNY.

2.  Hell to the fucking no.

3.  Dr.  Y comes in and after 10 mins of him explaining why he wants me to have RNY (better results, faster, he wants me to lose 80 more pounds WTF!!!), I FINALLY interrupt him and tell him there's no way in hell at a BMI of 34.8 am I having RNY.

4.  Oh shit, he realizes my BMI is under 35.

5.  Ok, he's now on board with revision to Sleeve.

6.  However now that my BMI has gotten low, need to gain a few pounds.  Like at least 3.

7.  And oh damn, how are we going to get insurance approval?!

8.  I've probably been too successful to get approval.

9.  But what the hell, we're going to try anyway.

10.  Next steps:  Nutritionist, Psychologist, and Upper GI series appointments.

So glad my hard work and dedication are paying off...not.

I rewarding myself with a milkshake after my appointment....Doctor's orders.

    I weighed in with my 10 pound purse- true story. If the doctor is on your side, see if they will let you weigh carrying your heavy bag. Wearing shoes. Etc. Heavy coat. Whatever.

    Sorry for the annoyance..but you so got this. I HATED the insurance hoops, but very grateful I didn't have to pay, and am not having to pay now for fills, etc.

    Ugh, that totally sucks. Sorry Hollee. I hate that you have to play games to get covered for the things you need.

Life ....or Something Like it

 There was once a time that my blog was therapy to me.  It seems now I neglect my blog for actual therapy- but that is probably a good thing.  It has been 2 years since I wrote a post.  It isn't for lack of wanting to, I just don't want to be fake on here, and there were times that I felt like I could not be transparent or myself, so I chose not to write.  It was nothing to do with weight loss/gain- I will always be transparent there, but my life was a little upside down and sideways at times over the last few years.  I am finally at a place that I can be me, so here I am again. Being me isn't all pretty- but it's honest. The last two years have been...busy. I had my skin removal surgery on January 27, 2022.  I'm almost 19 months post-op, and it was hell!  The surgery itself went great: -Lower Body Lift with Belt Lipectomy -Breast Lift with Augmentation The healing process was the hardest.  I didn't feel like "myself" for about 6 months and that is som

Ten Things Thursday

1. I forgot to weigh in this morning, but my other weigh ins this week tell me the number on the scale really had not moved since last week. 2.  Yesterday my plans were kind of up in the air.  First, my mom talked about coming to visit.  Then Mr. Banker asked to come over.  Then a friend, Ashley, asked me to go to dinner.  My mom canceled, so I told Mr. Banker that Ashley had asked me to dinner, so he told me to go out with her.  I guess he wasn't expecting I would be at the restaurant for 4 hours because apparently he was planning to come over after my dinner. 3.  One of my favorite things about Lap Band is that I can usually go out to dinner for about $4 now.  If you don't have a card from your WLS that states you can eat from the kid's menu, you're missing out! 4.  I need a fill.  I'm hungry all the time right now.  I tried to move my appointment up, but they didn't have any openings.  I'm so thankful my PA will be back next month!  It's so much

32 Weeks Pregnant

Hi everyone, just wanted to stop in with a quick pregnancy/weight update. So... I'm still lighter than I was the day I found out I was pregnant, but I have watched the scale creep up slightly and that is hard!  SO HARD! Above is a picture I took Friday at 32 weeks.  It's insane, I hardly even look pregnant at all.  7.5 weeks left, hopefully I can stay under my pre-pregnancy weight in the next 7.5 weeks!
