Ladies......i Need Your Help!



Recommended Posts

So, pre-surgery, I lived on Motrin 600 or Motrin 800 for cramps. My cramps have always been horrible. Well, now I can't take any motrin. Tylenol has really never helped me with any pain relief. What do you use?????

Thanks!

Oh yes me to i took 2 800 mg of motrin every 4 hrs before surgery last week i was crying and that is the week right after surgery i had female time. I called my gyn office that was a game of phone tag so the next day i dragged myself to primary dr office they had the nerve to tell me oh get childrens tylenol...EXCUSE ME!!!! Are you not listening nothing works but motrin 800 two of them. Oh okay another choice we can do for you is a shot of toradol. I said ok how long will that last he said two day. And oh my gosh it worked!!! But i will have a talk with my gyn cause i refuse to have to get a shot every time then have to suffer until the time i can get to office for the shot

You could call your doctor - sometimes they can prescribe something like toradol for short term. I know I had a shot of it a while back when I was having problems with headaches and it helped a lot. Also heating pad/ice pack/exercise (though I know that's the farthest thing from my mind this time of month!)/warm bath. I hope you feel better!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
