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

I was in the ER last night with stomach pain so bad I couldn't move. CT scan showed nothing. They said I'm constipated. Which I already new. Now dehydrated to add to the fun? Not a good few weeks :-(

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!!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
