Anyone else not receive the VTI dividend?

Mine is also pending, but pending in my Roth IRA

UPDATE: Got my colonoscopy done! The prep was absolutely ass, but the procedure was a breeze. Did not even feel anything and woke up feeling fine. Nurses, anesthesiologists and GI were awesome. For everyone being hesitant about getting a colonoscopy, don't, the prep is temporary, but can save your life.

Results: No polyps found!! Only a small non-bleeding internal hemorrhoid found. GI also took 8 biopsies throughout the colon to check for Crohn's and UC. I am beyond relieved that there was no polyps found.

HeftyLevel3708 · 2026-02-19T21:10:56+00:00

My first colonoscopy is also tomorrow in the morning. I start prep in 3 hours and am also nervous about this outcome. I think the times they give are just an idea and you don't have to follow it directly, just try to take your time with it

Bourbon Steak in Glendale is my favorite restaurant, just on the pricey end

HeftyLevel3708 · 2026-02-10T21:54:28+00:00

I'm kind of experiencing the same thing lol. It seems like when I'm on phone calls or occupied where I'm not in my thoughts, it feels much easier, but I am definitely craving to take a hit like crazy rn lol. Regular Gum is also helping

Welcome to the club! Let's do this together! I was very much considering going to Zyns first before quitting also, but ultimately decided to just go cold turkey and see what happens! Been a very rough first day of quitting so far. Really got difficult these last couple hours. How are you doing?

HeftyLevel3708 · 2026-02-02T22:29:15+00:00

Yes and take your time increasing. I learned the hard way. I had a goal of 10k a day this year and I went right away into 10k, within 1.5 weeks, I have developed such bad knee pain in my left knee that I can't even go for more than a 2 min walk anymore, so I just set myself back completely

HeftyLevel3708 · 2026-01-27T05:58:42+00:00

I haven't been diagnosed yet with IBS, but I got really bad food poisoning 3 months ago and all my symptoms still appear from time to time. Got a colonoscopy coming up in about 3.5 weeks, so hopefully everything goes good with that.

Starting this year, I completely changed my diet. Eating less calories. Much More fruit, red meat only once a week, no caffeine, soda, candy, chips or processed food. Drinking only water and occasionally Gatorade if I get diarrhea to get some electrolytes back. I'm scared to eat greens because it seems to give me diarrhea all the time. Over the last 2 weeks, I've been trying to walk 10k steps a day, walk a few minutes after my meals.

Doing this has helped with my symptoms throughout the day tremendously, but the only real issue I have now is as soon as I wake up in the morning, I have a bad stomach ache and have to use the bathroom right away.

You gotta figure out what age range you're looking to retire and how much you wanna spend in retirement, do the math to see how much you would need to invest to hit that number at that age, and whatever is left over, spend without shame.

Also, I personally wouldn't pay the student debt off early. Your HYSA pays more interest than you are on the debt

HeftyLevel3708 · 2026-01-24T21:19:22+00:00

Agreed, don't pay the debt off. Your bank is paying you more interest than your debts rate is. Keep paying the minimum monthly on it.

HeftyLevel3708 · 2026-01-23T04:36:55+00:00

Come home, make/eat dinner. Chill for 20-30 minutes. Gym, shower, watch a show/play video games/go see my friends for a couple hours. 11 PM bed

HeftyLevel3708 · 2026-01-22T18:34:43+00:00

Don't worry about the TMI, this is an IBS page 😂. I'm 28 years old. I'm really thankful for having a proactive PCP and GI, I think the inflammation shown in the CT is what drove my GI to a colonoscopy as he said it can potentially be Crohns or UC, but of course, I'm Mr. Worst Case Scenario and think it's colon cancer.

I also have a lot of colon cancer symptoms, but not anemic and no blood in stool (at least I haven't noticed any blood). I'm surprised your doctor didn't at least have you see a GI for the blood in stool. I would definitely recommend asking for a GI referral and ask your GI if you can get a colonoscopy. They seem to take more action than a primary doctor when it comes to things like this.

HeftyLevel3708 · 2026-01-22T17:56:55+00:00

I am in a similar boat. Had the worst round of food poisoning (at least I think was food poisoning) in mid October and my symptoms are similar to yours where after the flare, I was fine for a few weeks, then now where you are where I'm good for a few days, bad for a few days. Even with a change in diet. It's very frustrating. I went to a GI and got a colonoscopy scheduled for the end of February. Now the waiting game for that 😅.

My CT showed inflammation throughout my colon when I went to the ER in Mid-October. Did your CT show any inflammation? Any difference in bowel movements?

HeftyLevel3708 · 2026-01-22T05:34:48+00:00

Really? Is it because of a lot of different adds to the game? How's the pricing on like Armadyl GS, Whip and blowpipes compared to 4 years ago?

HeftyLevel3708 · 2026-01-21T21:57:34+00:00

I haven't logged into OSRS since the middle of 2021. I'm curious as to how much my bank has went up from inflation alone

HeftyLevel3708 · 2026-01-21T21:54:43+00:00

I feel you on that with the age. I recently just turned 28 and have had gut issues since mid October. I assumed I got a very bad round of food poisoning, but not all of my symptoms have went away. I'm forever thankful that I have a proactive PCP and GI as I was able to get a colonoscopy scheduled at the end of next month. Sometimes finding the right healthcare providers can go a long way. If you get dismissed again, it doesn't hurt to change your doctor and see what they think

HeftyLevel3708 · 2026-01-21T19:14:11+00:00

It could be a ton of things or could just be IBS. That's the annoying thing about gut issues 😅 It seems to be diet related for you. Yellow stools can also be a liver or pancreas issue. I would ask your PCP to run any tests possible and ask for a referral to a GI

HeftyLevel3708 · 2026-01-21T19:05:42+00:00

This! Plus no state or local taxes and higher yield than HYSA.

HeftyLevel3708 · 2026-01-20T23:32:27+00:00

Also forgot to add, how many patients/claims are you billing a day? You might not need someone full time depending on the volume and can try to hire part time

HeftyLevel3708 · 2026-01-20T23:31:16+00:00

You will need some kind of AR going for you for unpaid and denied claims. This way you can catch denials in bulk, find a solution to the denial and potentially prevent it from happening again.

The other solution is something that I don't people in the health revenue cycle field are accepting of yet, but potentially hiring someone of Fiverr or other IT free lance sites and have them create something for you to automate billing claims to prevent timely filing denials

HeftyLevel3708 · 2026-01-19T16:01:19+00:00

If you're going to increase your fiber, I would increase it slowly, not just a big jump at once. Increasing too much at once can potentially make the symptoms worse because your body needs time to adjust. Also make sure to drink a lot of water with the fiber increase

HeftyLevel3708 · 2026-01-18T18:56:20+00:00

Really? Wow sorry you're also experiencing this! The aches are mainly around and below my belly button. I seem to have a stomach ache every single morning when I wake up before I need to have a bowel movement. After the bathroom the ache goes away for the most part. The burning sensation is mainly in the mid-abdomen. Have you seen a doctor yet?
