  1. That was from a psychiatrist (councilor). The stupid breathing exercises. My surgeon is an hour away and I see a nutritionist but the psy eval was done when I lived in Roanoke (3 hours away). I need to find a different councilor.
  2. Therapy just wanted me to do breathing exercises. Doesn't work for me. My surgical team can't help me with emotional issues
  3. 3&1/2 months out from my last surgery ( had massive complications) and have had depression for many years. Just recently started feeling better but my depression is kicking my ass. Therapy said its PTSD and I didn't like the exercises they wanted me to do. Any ideas?? Some days I don't get out of bed till early afternoon.
  4. Taking a risk if there is something really wrong.
  5. Go to local er. You need to be checked
  6. If you go to hospital please let us know how you make out
  7. If its extremely painful go to ER. I ended up with a twisted bowel and it might be good if they Catscan you to make sure nothing is wrong
  8. Went out last night and as per usual I just scrape all the stuff off the top and leave the bread. Soooooo yummy
  9. Quickly make yourself throw up. It happens to me sometimes. I use the opposite side of my toothbrush to put down my throat. It will help I guarantee
  10. I don't do rice. Doesn't work with most pouches
  11. My cramps have gotten worse since my surgery and was pissed when I heard I couldn't take midol. Well midol has "midol complete" which does not contain an NSAID. Pamprin is also good. Just an fyi
  12. I'm the 1% that has a better chance of getting struck by lightening. After bypass has twisted bowel then intestinal rupture. Spent 6 wks in hospital, ventilator,ICU, 7 surgeries. On top of all that I already suffer from depression and anxiety. Anyone else in the same boat. I'm 12 weeks out from my extended stay in hospital.
  13. Go see dr immediately. I was home less than one day after bypass and thought I had bad gas. Turned out I had a twisted bowel. Not saying your going thru that but better to be safe than sorry. I never knew so much could go wrong. 7 surgeries a month in the hospital and on a ventilator. Your probably fine but see someone now just to be sure. If it's that painful go to ER!!!!!
  14. I haven't but I need to cuz after I had all my complications I found out I'm allergic now to morphine
  15. I got mine well before surgery. I never take it off
  16. Yes you do. I had shit go seriously wrong. You probably won't have shit go wrong but you need to have someone with you for at least 24 hours after anesthia
