Guest guest Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 Jim - sorry to hear about your strangulated hernia. Sounds like you will be having surgery the same day as my revision....Monday the 28th. Look forward to meeting you soon. Marcella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 Jim, Im so glad you went in for a visit. You could have gotten very sick. I didn't authorize you to have permission to be sick sooooooo Im glad you took it into your own hands We just aren't the same when you are not around..so you will be missed starting Monday but you will be in my prayers too! OH! And Yeah on the extra little bonus A panni huh...what size? I think marta said she wears a loose size 6 BAAAHAHAHAHA! Kat seriously tho, good luck. And since Im a pre-oper..I have no idea about the answers to your questions LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 Remember those > flying monkeys, well, darlin' when they get finished with you, you'll > just be straw scattered all over Bakes!!!! ================================= Tisk,tisk dear Jim...remember...I stand in the yard with my arms outstretched calling the little sweeties to come to mama! Send the little darlings...mama misses them. As for the rest of your post it's kind of a good news/bad news thing....Hooray that you have an answer to your weird weightloss...oh shit, that you need additionl surgery...hooray that you get your panni...but it does hurt and apparently can make your manhood swell....uhhh...not in a good way...lol. Like with most of this stuff it is so unique to each person...and you get the bonus of having your bowels redone...so your pain experience will be your own. But I will say...regardless if it hurts and swells alot or alittle...I think you will be glad to get rid of the panni and the weirdo bowel.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 Why on earth would it make " it " swell??????? That's too weird. Yes, the panni gone will be great, but I'll be even more happy to have the weird bowel movement eliminated (pun intended), and to have the embarrassing " gurgling " gone. Sometimes one can hear it across the ROOM!

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 Jim, I am so happy that you got to the root of the problem!!! I wish that I would be around to visit, but I have to take off for the wilderness tomorrow. I am taking a few minutes to day to check mail. I have to DC my computer later for packing. Best of luck!

It makes a huge difference (at least on me). If they marked me laying down, alot of it wouldve disappeared. While standing you see it all... I had to request that because when I asked, they said they mark me laying down, so I asked if they would do it standing and told them why and they did..

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 Get this...... A monsectomy. LOL No joke. That's what the office called it this morning when I asked. said she'd ask Dr. K about it, and Dee e-mailed and said to talk with Doctor about it. Apparently on male or female, it's a mons. LOL Oh, why did we all have to start out life as the same gender! LOL Jim I imagine you can have that little panni removed, and what is it called on guys anyway??? Boy, who knows?

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 Omigosh Jim! I'm so glad you finally have an answer but so sorry to hear it's something so serious! My prayers are with you! As for the pain of the panni removal, it's worse than the DS. Sorry! But, the good thing is, it doesn't last nearly as long. The major pain from my DS lasted over a month. The major pain from the tuck lasted only a week or so. Tracey Who's looking forward to hearing about your loss finally normalizing after this fix. > I saw Dr. K today.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 Jim, gotta add my voice once again before I am off to dreamland...STOP IT, STOP IT, STOP IT. WILL YOU PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF? Do you have to do the mag citrate and all that or is this simpler? The non-bathroom issue is probably due to the strangulation, right, Marta? Jim, if you don't stop being Mr. Clean (the hairless one - snicker, snicker), we are going to gather all the flying monkeys to come collect you and put you to bed -- and to hold you there until surgery! Or we will all descend upon you en masse to make sure you are behaving (yikes, now that is a frightening thought)!

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 To be honest, I'm not sure how I feel. I'm dizzy all the time--whether sitting down, standing up, or moving about--and I am nauseated all the time. I've spent most of today cleaning house including getting down on all fours to scrub the floors. (My Granny always said one never knew if the floor is really clean unless one washes it with a hand brush.) I'm an odd creature: I can live in a pig sty, but dang it, I won't come home to a pig sty! LOL So, I'm REALLY tired. No BMs since Tuesday, and I've put on another 10 pounds -- up to 321 from 311 at Dr. K's office on Wednesday. I'll be glad to have this no bathroom issue resolved!
