Just making sure, this thread is in R-n-R, right? Good, so we're ready for the dr*ma.

Nancy B:dunno, looks like skmsu recently joined here. Hopefully she'll be back and can explain...

Actually, she joined in 2006. And if I didn't have so much restriction, I'd make popcorn! That is, if I had it in my apartment. :heh:

I don't want to cause a stink, but I had to join to post this. I am just perplexed as to why she would say this. I don't know any other Nancy B's on OH, but maybe there is.

Are you talking about me? Nancy B from OH? Please explain!

I do remember reading a post where you had suggested to someone who thought that she was experiencing Constipation and gas that she do a “cleanse”. I can’t remember if the post was from you or the other individual thanking you for your advice, but in either case those posts are not there now. If this was not the case my apologies. Have you ever suggested to anyone on OH that they do any sort of colonic or cleanse?

And you had to find out about it somehow, too.

Well, hopefully skmsu will pop in.

I've read here for a long time, but couldn't quite figure out the format, so I never officially joined until last night. I'm still not quite sure I understand how this board works...I'll keep experimenting. What does "multi-quote" mean when posting a reply?

No, not me. Maybe the other Nancy? D? I figured you must have me confused with someone else. I don't really know what a colonic is, but it doesn't sound pleasant!

No problems...just didn't want anyone to think this was me giving wacko advise.

No offense, Nancy, but this post by BAShinn indicates otherwise:

I will say that much of it can be attributed to MOM and Nancy B's suggestion (thanks, Nancy...it WORKED). I'm still a bit sore, but my side feels better. I am going to make it through the weekend and see what happens. If I'm still sore, I'm going to go for an unfill, as suggested by Dr. C.
She'd previously made a thread about being constipated and in pain after a severe PB session. And of course, as anyone familiar with her knows, she eventually wound up having to have her band removed.

I'm sure the reason that no post can be found with your actual suggestion of an enema (otherwise known as a colonic) in it is because you made it through PM or email, not because you went back and deleted it when you first read this thread. Right, Nancy?

Sorry to disappoint you, but you are incorrect. B is a friend of mine and she was having trouble with Constipation. We talked about something quite different as a remedy, which have nothing to do with anything mentioned here. I gave her the remedy for what I did for my babies, totally safe and didn't involve any medications or cleansing. It had nothing to do with her erosion, which did come soon after, as we all know. Someone might have suggested the other treatments, but it wasn't me. I know for a fact that she tried what I suggested, and it worked.

What was it that you suggested?

Kind of embarrassing! Glycerine suppository...totally harmless. For babies, it's called Babylax. You're not trying to attack the problem by going through the stomach and bloodstream, taking pills.

Good to know, but I always worry that any suggestion that might delay someone seeing their doctor in hopes that a home treatment might work could be harmful indirectly.

So any opinions if Sandy will ever get her license back? From either state? ;)

You are so bad! I predict it will happen as soon as Larry Craig gets his guilty plea changed :eyebrows:

      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.
