Try wearing a sports bra to bed. Maybe holding them girls in might help?

They won't be able to tell of you have a blockage in your heart unless they do a cardiac catheterization. They could do a stress test, but that will not give you a definitive answer. Have you had problems with your heart before?

Blood work chest X-ray were all good. Have to do stress test Friday morning. I still think its from playing Wii boxing last week imoved a muscle I haven't in a long time y'all know what I mean. And my breast have extremely shrunk. Great full for that but don't like the pain. It could have also been stress related. I graduate from school in 2 weeks and then have my boards to pass think that is freaking me out a bit. But I feel good just the stabbing every so often in my left boob

This question is for Ozzie!!! I am going Thursday to have a hysterectomy I have read some about your complications! Did you have a radical hysterectomy? Did they do it robotic or open or laproscopy? Just trying to get a sense what I am looking at. I have to be back at school a few days afterwards finals are coming up!

I had a robotic lap surgery. I had to have everything taken, right down to the lymph nodes due to my precancerous state. The problems I'm having isn't from the hysterectomy itself, but improper placement of the catheter. The tried to replace it 3 times to no avail :'-( so right now I am able to go off antibiotics for a week and then I get the pain in my bladder and a UTI. It is ridiculous. I have a cystoscopy set up for next Friday. The will have a looksy into my bladder to see what damage was done. Hopefully nothing major. If its permanent, lawsuit will be coming around.

Also, if you can postpone til after finals, that would be better. You will need 2-3 weeks and that is w the robot assisted laparoscopic surgery. You'll have the gassiness again, ugh. Plus for me it was heck of a lot more painful than the RNY. Probably due to complications.

Just tell them to make sure they place catheter properly. Good luck. I will have you in my thoughts!!!

      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.
