I've had my bout of pain with the kidney stone.

My gallbladder is long gone so hopefully I'll be OK.

Glad you are feeling better!

pancreatitis: noun

definition: a condition were the patient is heard to say over and over "this f#$$ing really hurts/ sucks.

Sorry for the implied cursing but i have spent a fun 72 hours in my local hospital because of that noun. im lucky the doctors found nothing after lots of poking and prodding including a catscan and mri. in the end it comes down to massive weight loss has the real possibilities of this noun and gall stones.

I highly encourage you to get your thin backside to the ER/ hospital if you have belly pain, sweats, neasua.

Im ok now but for a number of hours on sunday were far from pleasent. i know alot of us in here qualify as "massive weight loss" and since i can attest to the severity of the pain thought it prudent to put this condition out there.

Have a great evening

RJ

Mine went away and I really think it was due to too many tummy crunches. Trying to be an overachiever

Makes me wonder.. Sometimes I wake up with lower right side belly pain ( not as much is the belly itself but a little bit to the right of it) it's tender. I mentioned it to the doctor and he more less shrugged it off some days I don't have it then other days it seems more tender.

I can't believe this because it never happens... I got approved by insurance for a lower body lift!!! I got the call today! They told me they never get approved. Yay!!!!!

WOOT WOOT!!!! Great news!! When are you doing it? I want details, I would love to have it done, but I don't know if I have the guts, not to mention money! So very happy for you!

Luckily insurance is paying so my out of pocket will be minimal. :)

I am thinking December 1. I have a business trip in early October and thought if I do December 1 it is after thanksgiving and a full 3 weeks until Christmas. After losing my mom this year the holidays will not be the same so recovery at that time might be good. The surgeon's office is calling me tomorrow to confirm if that works. I work at the hospital where the surgery will be done and know the surgeon really well so I am super excited!!!

Part of me wants to do it now but waiting until December might be good so I can continue working out and getting as cardiovascular fit as possible.

If i've posted this before I apologize for repeating myself.. My son is accusing me of having a mid-life crisis... my new quote is it's not a mid-life crisis... it's a mid-life rebirth :)

I'm going to be in my friend/co-worker's wedding next summer and I'm so excited... ironically she is a year younger than my oldest child... It's fun to hang out with a my young/youthful coworker/friends...

I think you are wise to wait. Just like the RNY, you want to make sure you are in the best place possible when you have it done. Your recovery will be that much easier. I can not express how very happy I am for you!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
