A Personal Question. (TMI?)



Recommended Posts

Is the pain in a specific spot?

My pain is more right above the pubic area,but deep. Seems like it happens more during the ovulatory period of my cycle as well. I guess it is because I am more tender during that time anyway. Since I had my tubal, I could always tell which side I was ovulating from because the pain is so intense and sex just makes all of it worse.

When I have gone to the Doc in the past, they come up with all kind of possible explainations and even have treated me for pelvic inflammatory disease, but can't ever find anything wrong. All my paps and ultrasounds come up normal. I have wanted a hysterectomy, but the GYN doesn't think I need it. Primary physician just thinks it is a hormonal problem

and has suggested bio identical hormone treatment.

I don't know, but I hope you get it all worked out.

Sincerely,

Stephanie

I just want to say thanks for this thread. Not because I have experienced the same thing, but because I haven't seen it discussed, and sexuality certainly changes with massive weightloss.

Thanks too for the laughs on the swallowing question. It's something I have actually considered, but the question, and the answers were put out there with such good humor....LOL I love you guys!

Great job on the current weightloss, btw!!

Maybe you have some adhesions internally from the surgery, and the pain is referred to the "area". I know that during my period, I have weird pulling areas I didn't have before, and I think it may be some scarring/pulling from the internal incisions.

Goodness, that sounds awful. My pain isn't as ongoing as your at all. *hugs* I hope someone can figure something out for you because you're right, it shouldn't hurt, not at all.

I've ahd two surgeries this year, a g/b removal and the almost band. I know I have this wierd sensation between two of the scars. It feels like a pinch. Who knows what else is happening in there. :eek:

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
