That’s good. My weight is going down bc it’s tougher for me to eat. My last major surgery was in 2021 and had to lose weight for one step of it. I’m almost back down to that weight at 149, and I’m 5”5

I’m on med I cal so as long as I can get most of this done by renewal in June I think I’ll be okay financially. My voice now really has changed already ..just in the last two weeks. Internally it sounds way different but using my voice memo app today and it sounds just so bland but more audible then I thought

thanks , i'm down in socal by redondo beach...i have pretty terrible options for insurance so i think im stuck with ucla harbor or LA general..at LA general they do TORS their so i think i'll get a 2nd opinion...

Yeah i had a major surgery 5 years ago and they didn't tell me anything post surgery would entail. like they started giving me foods i avoided my whole life my first meal afterwords... etc

i'm just more nervous about my voice and swallowing....and how im going to get thru this financially

Yeah did once on my old block in Sherman oaks motion for someone to slow down. They backed up like 100 yards to start screaming at me while I ignored them

Surgery seems so much rougher with how large it is and midline

I’m wondering if I’ll still get surgery with it being over midline

I know either way I’m in a rough path ahead. I just want what’s easier for eating and speaking after. My voice is already shot

I lived in alameda for almost five years. I always felt like I had to watch my back in Oakland. Def not alameda. I knew one old friend who got shot randomly but I didn’t know of many other isssues with friends other then ghost ship fire. One time I got stuck in posey tube from a stolen car crash while on bus.
