Why do I do it to myself?

Just making sure, this thread is in R-n-R, right? Good, so we're ready for the dr*ma.

Nancy B:dunno, looks like skmsu recently joined here. Hopefully she'll be back and can explain...

Actually, she joined in 2006. And if I didn't have so much restriction, I'd make popcorn! That is, if I had it in my apartment. :heh:

I don't want to cause a stink, but I had to join to post this. I am just perplexed as to why she would say this. I don't know any other Nancy B's on OH, but maybe there is.

Are you talking about me? Nancy B from OH? Please explain!

I do remember reading a post where you had suggested to someone who thought that she was experiencing Constipation and gas that she do a “cleanse”. I can’t remember if the post was from you or the other individual thanking you for your advice, but in either case those posts are not there now. If this was not the case my apologies. Have you ever suggested to anyone on OH that they do any sort of colonic or cleanse?

And you had to find out about it somehow, too.

Well, hopefully skmsu will pop in.

I've read here for a long time, but couldn't quite figure out the format, so I never officially joined until last night. I'm still not quite sure I understand how this board works...I'll keep experimenting. What does "multi-quote" mean when posting a reply?

No, not me. Maybe the other Nancy? D? I figured you must have me confused with someone else. I don't really know what a colonic is, but it doesn't sound pleasant!

No problems...just didn't want anyone to think this was me giving wacko advise.

No offense, Nancy, but this post by BAShinn indicates otherwise:

I will say that much of it can be attributed to MOM and Nancy B's suggestion (thanks, Nancy...it WORKED). I'm still a bit sore, but my side feels better. I am going to make it through the weekend and see what happens. If I'm still sore, I'm going to go for an unfill, as suggested by Dr. C.
She'd previously made a thread about being constipated and in pain after a severe PB session. And of course, as anyone familiar with her knows, she eventually wound up having to have her band removed.

I'm sure the reason that no post can be found with your actual suggestion of an enema (otherwise known as a colonic) in it is because you made it through PM or email, not because you went back and deleted it when you first read this thread. Right, Nancy?

Sorry to disappoint you, but you are incorrect. B is a friend of mine and she was having trouble with Constipation. We talked about something quite different as a remedy, which have nothing to do with anything mentioned here. I gave her the remedy for what I did for my babies, totally safe and didn't involve any medications or cleansing. It had nothing to do with her erosion, which did come soon after, as we all know. Someone might have suggested the other treatments, but it wasn't me. I know for a fact that she tried what I suggested, and it worked.

What was it that you suggested?

Kind of embarrassing! Glycerine suppository...totally harmless. For babies, it's called Babylax. You're not trying to attack the problem by going through the stomach and bloodstream, taking pills.

Good to know, but I always worry that any suggestion that might delay someone seeing their doctor in hopes that a home treatment might work could be harmful indirectly.

So any opinions if Sandy will ever get her license back? From either state? ;)

You are so bad! I predict it will happen as soon as Larry Craig gets his guilty plea changed :eyebrows:

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
