Questions regarding pain



Recommended Posts

Physician, heal thyself! You have a better bedside manner than most. I'll bet that in 2 months, it will be healed, but I hope it doesn't take that long.

Girl, you are too crazy! And I am right in there with you. I DO have a surgical blade!! I use it to cut off the callouses on my feet.

My husband freaks when he sees me using it. I don't know why.

I am a partially trained para professional.

I'm a para professional too, only paralegals don't use blades (at least I haven't heard that news story yet.)

You should buy a corn plane. They are specifically made for evenly slicing the callouses off your feet and leave the smooth as a baby's behind. Only you have to be dedicated for life, cause once you start, you can't stop... skin grows back worse each time.

I did the ugly deed last night and now my incision is a little sore.

Darcy - I have been thinking about you and wondering if you are still having problems? I know you said you felt better, but are you totally over the pain?

Hi Betty...

The pain is not completely gone but I am attributing that to giving in and eating things that seem to irritate my stomach. Unfortunately, I'm not the queen of controlling myself! Thanks so much for asking... and I'm sure that with time I'll feel 100%.

Nancy... I think I forgot to thank you for your further condensed version of my letter... I Loved it!

Now... I just need to start an exercise or walking challenge on the boards to get my butt moving again! We took another set of pictures to compare and I swear... I look exactly the same! Oh the curse of gaining weight evenly from head to toe!

TTFN

Delarla, that is so funny you say that. I told my husband last night that it seems like at night afterI eat dinner I have more gas then I have ever had in the last 4 months...I have been so uncomfortable the last 2 nights, with horrible gas pains and cramps..This has been going on now for atleast 3 days. Hmmm..maybe we both are dying :rolleyes:

GAS?!!! More room out than there is in I always say. LOUDLY!!!!

My sweetie says to me every night. "OK is there a one or two blanket fanning night." Meaning is it stinky or mod stinky night. I always say fan at your own risk. LOLOLOL!!!

Gas! How sad is this? I actually had to scout out the hospital where I work to find a bathroom that is at least semi-private. Meaning there aren't other stalls in there and there aren't people walking right past the bathroom door. It's still a little too public for my taste, but it's better than nothing.

Luckily my gas is normally just a bunch of hot air (laughing) with not much odor. The bad ones seem to come around that lovely special "feminine time." My husband says period farts are the worst! I keep a can of Apple Lysol at work just in case. Embarrassing, but I'd fart the alphabet if I could drop another 40 pounds!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
