Reached My Breaking Point
lizv123 replied to Heyher's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The exhaustion from fibro alone is bad, I can't imagine that with apnea :/ my ex's mother has ms and fibro and lyrics works wonder for her. She gained a little weight but it was worth it for her. What meds did they give you? I've heard good things about Cymbalta, and Nucynta was to be my miracle drug, but I was in the tiny percentage that had CNS depression. Keep fighting! We're here for you. I know it's exhausting being the squeaky wheel but it's so worth it in the end, I'm sure this is no exception -

I have pretty severe fibro. Like Iggy, Lyrica made me gain about 50 pounds and barely worked. Not to mention even WITH insurance was ridiculously expensive. I feel your fibro pain to an incredible degree. I also have had adverse reactions to most meds so the only thing that even helps is an opiate. I do NOT wish this for you or anyone. I'm not yet sleeved but I can definitely help you with fibro support. I'm sorry you're dealing with this :/ -

Sleeping After Surgery?
lizv123 replied to iggychic's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No that's why it blew my mind! I have a high tolerance for medication but this stuff knocked me out. Not like NyQuil, but it worked. Their slogan is "slow your roll" -

My step brother used to sell a drink called "drank." it contains both. I drank it once and it harpooned me to the floor! I'd try it good luck! -
I used to get weekly b6 b12 shots. I got my first one in my arm. NEVER AGAIN! That thing stung for 2 days! Go for the hip! That only stings for a few minutes

I had a scar migrate. It was a big deep burn on top of my shoulder. I lost weight after a head injury (about 80lbs) and that scar moved to just above my elbow. I've gained all that weight back... Scar's still chilling above the elbow :S

I never thought I could do a 5k, and I think the only way I would try is for a zombie run -
You'll be more scared if you don't go and it gets worse. Sounds like you really need to work on fluids. But first go to the dr!
-
Why would you get in trouble? What did they say last time?
-
Call your dr and really try to get your fluids. It sounds like dehydration is definitely one problem but there could totally be more
-
Exactly! That's what doctors are for
-
A lot of your symptoms are that of dehydration. Have you tried broth? Gatorade? juice? Any Fluid?

I plan on a scale! Not sure what to put "in" the scale but it's symbolic to me. And my fiancé is a libra so I don't have to explain it to anyone if I don't wanna. I'm hoping it'll be an awesome rib piece

Props to you both! I've had cervical cancer and a lump removed from my breast but have never gone through intense treatments. Just a mild procedure followed by a boat of meds. Truly, I cut up a lot but you two have SO much of my respect! Tough broads I love it! You give me hope

This Is A Disgusting Post, Please Only Readif You're Ok With Explicit Fces Talk!
lizv123 replied to slimshadee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had this problem last year for no reason. I'm nut yet sleeved. Tried 3 doses of dulcolax, 4 glycerine suppositories with no luck. Then my mother gave me an enema. I sat for an HOUR before it worked...I thought I was dying! I kid you not, a baseball sat in the bowl. My mom called me a baby for crying until she saw it. Never again. If I don't go once a day I freak out. And since I've recently stopped smoking it's worse. I recommend keeping suppositories on hand, taking fiber everyday and a mild stool softener and the smooth move tea really works! Just don't take it at night. The best and funniest advice I ever got from my ex's mother: "Never take a laxative and sleeping pill at the same time..." -
I think if I had to pick fields for transfer vascular would be my first I trust my surgeon very much. I just always seem to be in that small percent that has adverse side effects to everything! Mostly why I voted against roux-en-y. Such a high risk for SEVERE dumping that NEVER goes away. No thank you, my options are better here
