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

I always do. At the hospital getting checked out. Its just the one breast. EKG was ok but they wont be able to see if its a blockage till i have the MRI. This sucks for real

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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
